Hi All

In the process of scoping out a build for a featherweight. I have come across a conundrum in the electronics.

I am running two 12v RS550 motors for my drivetrain (hacked from Argos drills).

I am planning to use the following monstrosity to power a spinning weapon (with great care!) https://hobbyking.com/en_us/9235-100...tor-motor.html

The issue I have is that it runs at 45v max.

I see two workarounds here.

- Use two power sources (which will presumably also require two removable links?)
- Regulate the voltage going into the drivetrain somehow.

The former leads to an obvious combat vulnerability, the latter I am less experienced with. My first guess is that this might be solvable using the ESC of the motors, but I am not sure how they regulate the power, is it via voltage or current? There is also the ever present chance of setting it up wrong on the day and burning the drive out.

What ways do roboteers use to get around this?

Cheers
