[psycho_fling]

well solidworks is the easiest by far to learn imo after using , pro desktop and alias both of which are complicated just for the point of it lol

looks good though so far

What's with the 3 motors and gearboex, and 4 sets of wheels? Spares?

[terry]

isnt 1 of em 4 the weapon ?

[Mouldy]

Nah spares, spare set of wheels and a spare motor gearbox...

The weapon motors the bigger version of what's in your rc buggy terry... Castle creations 2200kv neu motor. Whenever it turns up lol

[terry]

got some serious power then dave, I read the post wrong 1st time and thought you ment
the drive motors were bigger than the 2200's :shock: :shock: that would be insaine
wonder how fast it would be though.

[PJ-27]

So how come those 550 motors have so much power, they don't look like anything special?

[Mouldy]

There not... Kenny just got his weight distribution right, plus having 4wd helped.

Mine aren't 550's there 775's fair bit more powerful.

[PJ-27]

Wow, that's impressive. Drive has never been something me and Dan could get right, and this year was a total disaster for it!

brushless escs came from australia today, so i wired them up to give them a go...

Wasnt confident they'd be any good, but gotta give it to the aussies so far all good, and there tiny...only just double the size of a BR RX;



there hacked brushless tz85 turnigy escs... 85amp forward/reverse... slammed the motor into full forward/reverse and it worked fine on the bench... in theory nearly all brushless escs can be hacked to run forward/reverse brushed motors apparently... could be the next generation of speed controllers for anything upto heavyweight size in the future.
