Thanks, Steve. That answers the current
question, all right. I had planned on it being a kit and needing the feedback
pot mounted. Maybe I’ll try that email address to find out about the
voltage range. Or maybe I’ll just buy one and hope/assume that it will
drive 24v. Doesn’t seem like such a crazy thing to expect. When will we see that Staghound take the
field ? I always thought that was a cool looking vehicle. Is yours larger than
1/6 scale ? -

tanks-admin-at-rctankcombat.com [mailto:tanks-admin-at-rctankcombat.com] On Behalf Of Steve Butzen I emailed Oatley a while back
and this was there responce, I also asked if they sold this as a completed unit
and they said it was not. Hope this helps. How does it hook up and does it truly make
this large motor work like a servo ie: porportional movements, returns to
center when the stick on transmitter does and so forth. Yes, it takes the 1-2mS pulses from your receiver and
turns them into proportional movements just like a GWS, HiTec or Futaba
etc. type servo would do. You will need to connect (mechanicaly) a feedback
potemtiometer to the output shaft of the motor, two wires to power, two wires
to your motor and three wires to your receiver. Also is there an amperage max I should be
concerned with for the motor? That kit uses power transistors that are rated at around 10A
but at that rate would require heatsinking. If you have any further questions...... Regards Graeme Matthewson |
