Re: What motor? [TANKS]

[Mike Lyons <mxlyons-at-cox.net>]

There are some specs for EV Warriors at 
http://www.robotmarketplace.com/marketplace_ev.html.

Note that current is proportional to voltage, but power is proportional to the 
square of the voltage, so doubling the voltage quadruples the power.  The limiting 
factor is the amount of heat produced, which is related to the current.  The motor's 
rated voltage is the design level for continuous running without damaging it - you 
can go higher, but would be well advised to provide active cooling and/or reduce the 
duty cycle.

I looked up "ev warrior" in the hope of finding a power rating and came up with 
around 1hp which is 750W!

Obviously the more power you have, the more weight there is in the motor itself and 
its batteries.
