so do u want my battreys :P
i thought that this was meant to be a simple cheap school project? I wouldn't bother trying to build it to take a person, build it as light as possible with large wheels with a decent amount of torque. Anything more and the costs will rocket.
true, i got a rough idea in my head involving sla's, those esc's, wheel chair motors and bike wheels :)
That setup should work fine. As I said I wouldn't bother trying to complicate it by making it strong enough to ride on.
and some steel box tub for a chassis with some metal just as protection :)
I was suggesting SLA's rather than NiMH's just to keep the price down, also wasn't sure on how those would work with wheelchair motors but if Gary thinks they would be fine then he knows better than me and I would agree :D . Also the SLA's Eric runs if used at 12v are 40Ah and to get that sort of longevity would cost you a fair whack in NiMH's compared to the 40 quid or so I spent on SLA's
@ Blazerbotics.
What does that offroader use for motors and where did those tyres come from?

Thats the build diary for it. Bosch 750's.
I may go for something omega style :)
