A little correction required there, the HTI motor is still currently available. Its a decent motor, though due to its size, as said by a couple of people above, running at 24V is pushing it. I intend to run with 75mm wheels - smaller than wheels used by most, and as Ive got a spare pair of motors Ill try running at 24v, see how it goes, and if neccessary go down to 18v.
I will correct myself , the HTI motor with the pinion gear is no longer availible at RMP

out of interest, would anyone be interested in buying some of these?
if so, they are £120 (included postage and import duty) per pair as sold by robotpower.com with motors.
e-mail me if interested.

though the forum itself has slowly died back from its former glory.. (I wondered where all the yankee builders had gone, at one point, but they seem to all be safe on the RFL forum)...

Rebuilding started on Tiamat. Latest pic on profile.
Are you sure you havent copied and pasted a picture of little flipper? ;)
Very nice, looks a good layout
No Im sure I havent as both the drive motors are at the back. The flipper is made out of 4mm Hardox. The side armour will be made out of 20mm nylon. Haveing a manifold made at work from 1in thick Ali. Ram from Mario.
Looking at the tap youve got on the tank Tony, are they available as a seperate part or did it come that way? I could do with something like that for my paintball tanks. Also, what are those wheels? Im gradually getting a proper parts list together for a featherweight Savage Toaster. Coincidently I was looking at a big slab of Nylon 6 at school (work) the other day. Weve got a little Roland CNC milling machine that could make quite decent Toaster sides out of that and pocket out the back to save weight too...
