2007/03/16 - RE: Stug III Aus F [TANKS] (Neil Dare)

As promised, here are some pics of the Stug III, some were taken a few weeks ago and things have moved on. There are some pcs of the chassis and motor doublers being machined on my CNC router. The others show the sound and control modules that have been assembled and tested. They do need some mods however and I will be tearing them down to rationalise and simplify the system. The sound amp is pretty good, 40 watts output, solid state and all for £12 from Maplins!! It sits on a 6mm thick ali plate as a heatsink. Controllers and Rx interface are from 4QD and the sound module from Thomas Benedini in Germany. A great guy and so easy to deal with. Not shown is the proportional smoke generator that is synchronised to the throttle.

The matched pair of motors shown are a legacy from my days designing wheelchairs for the National Health Service and private customers. They are made by Fracmo in Hastings, UK and have a gearbox that can disengaged by the lever on the top casing. Voltage is 22.5v DC and they have induction brakes fitted, but these have been isolated. They turn at 115rpm, but I'm not interested in speed, the torque produced is more than enough for my needs.

Hello Neil > "I'm in the process of building a quater scale Stug III" I`m just wondering why you chose 1/4 scale? do you need a trailer to move it around? I`m just wondering how heavy it will be when finnished. and what are 12 gauge blanks, You dont mean like a shotgun do you? If you can send some pics please do,sounds interesting! neroc > From: Neil Dare <Neil.Dare@uwe.ac.uk> > Date: 2007/03/09 Fri AM 08:28:49 GMT > To: tanks@rctankcombat.com > Subject: Stug III Aus F [TANKS] > > ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam
