gear motors not mine but might be of use to somone.

308:1 gearing gives you only around 12 rpm... which means these arent really for drive...

Its easy enough to remove 1 or 2 of the stages.

But then you still end up with a 1.2 kg 31W motor/gearbox combo.

and a half made robot

Geoff do you reckon thats the remains of the robot that we duffed up in the qualifiers for S7, alongside Chromalot? it had an optimistic 1mm lexan armour... made up to look like a stealth bomber?

Didnt really fancy starting a new thread for more eBay stuff. Saw these on a random trawl:

May be of use to someone, not sure if they are just motors from drills or whether theyre stock RC car motors (or similar), reckoned someone on here would be able to tell though :)



Also, a linear actuator if anyones after one:

Item number: 180119245784 (the eBay page wouldnt hyperlink properly)

Not so great for crushing (only about 40kg) but fine for lifters

Seen a few of these on eBay over the past year with the same picture - Im beginning to wonder if its the same one being sold on again and again :lame:

how do you these to make lifters?

Really easily :)

The actuator has a bolt hole at either end (one on the back of the motor casing and one at the front end of the extending bit)

Bolt the motor casing hole to a pivot point in your chassis, bolt the other end to a pivot point on your lifter arm, and then the inwards and outwards motion of the actuator raises and retracts your lifting arm (much in a similar way to how pneumatic rams work, except you dont get the same speed of firing from them; they are a much slower alternative)

If you look at the picture of Vertigo on Ewans profile, there are two mounted there - one very similar to the eBay item used for the grabbing claw, and another used for his lifting arm.

11 18v drills - pickup only

thats really annoying because i need 2 18volt drills cheap as and its over 2 hours away!

yeh that would be a great outcome, anyone thinking of it:)

Bid placed.
IF I win 3 pairs should be available to others.

could i have one pair, please what price are looking at selling for?

alex

2 bare motors and gearboxs ... chucks removed.
£8 plus p&p ......IF I win @ or below my max bid.

Im interested in a pair - will confirm later if you win the specs of the drills . Also what are you doing with the batteries ?

Dunno .....lets wait and see.

id be up for a pair, though I doubt theres any free.
Just incase some one drops out

is that £8 per motor?

Im guessing thats for 2 considering he said
2 bare motors and gearboxs ... chucks removed.
£8 plus p&p

Appears to be the MY1016 model, as sold by Technobots, may be of use to someone as a drive or spinning weapon motor

EDIT: Actually, there seems to be quite a few on there at the moment if you just do a search for electric scooter motor :)

(Message edited by K_C_R on June 06, 2007)

Those motors are on there all the time

Did you win then woody?

Yes.....
They cost a bit more than Id originally budgeted for.
Each drill cost approx £3 each .....without the cost of collecting.
Ill update later next week ( the vendor is away this weekend) after Ive actually got them.

brilliant, cant wait to hear more!

when you mentioned about stripping them down, i assume it icludeds the reverse shaft screw?

Yes.
Ill remove the chuck and strip out the motor/gearbox.....this makes it cheaper on p&p.
IF you want it as one lump or you require the battery etc ......just say.....but the p&p will of course be more.

is there any more news on the drills?

I now have the drills ....
2 speed gearboxes 400 or 1150 rpm
Mabuchi RS 550VC-6532 Motor.
1.5 Ah 18v batteries.

Cost to me ( petrol + purchase ) £5 each drill + 2 batteries

have you decided the price you would be looking for two of them wooody?

£6 each plus p&p.

how much p&p?

LOL .....Beggared if I know.

Ill weigh one later and try and calculate it.

BTW ....You can have as much or as little of the drill + 2 batteries + bits and pieces as you wish for £6.
BUT you pay the p&p.

Woody I will take my two motors, gearboxes, reverse screws and chucks. Dont suppose you could remove the chucks? Havent had much luck removing them in the past but I could do with a new chuck for my corded drill :)

Just let me know how much it will be in total.

No problem Gary ...I actually took one apart last night in the front room ...I removed the chuck by hand :).

Lol the ones I have got currently had some glue on the thread and in the screw as well. I was surprised that they were that well made considering they were a tenner each (full set of steel gears as well!)

Actually thats a point, are the gears all steel or are some plastic? Doesnt make much of a difference, jst curious.

Dunno ....Ill look!
