Drive systems

Andy,

Get in contact with Grant or James cooper for wheels and mounts. The blue wheels they have are used in a large number of featherweights in the UK.

The 5v output electronize has what is known as a BEC (battery eliminating circuit). This is able to supply your receiver with power from your main set of batteries without the need for a seperate smaller set battery pack. Receivers typically work in the range 4 to 6v.

Adrian,

I have had limited experience with those motors in another project. They look similar to the motors used in the zeobots kits so perhaps you should find someone that had one of those kits or get in contact with technobots. You have to be careful which motors you use as there are a large number of variations (voltage etc).

when i first had my zeobot kit, i used these motors, at the time they did the job however i dont think unless you over volt them and vcreate some decent hubs, that they will be any good

but if you are looking for some with wheels drop me an email, have 2 used ones

Is there a better drive system for the weight than this Banebot gearmotor http://banebots.hostasaurus.com/pc/MP-36XXX-545/MP-36025-545http://banebots.hostasaurus.com/pc/M...5/MP-36025-545 ?

for the weight, sure

you wont like the price though. :)

I perfectly can imagine/build better drives.

It just depends on $$$.

What drives could you imagine or build for 354 grams? Do you have any links to these drives?

Thanks

Nope, Ill have to design and build them first before pictures or links will excist.
