the controll box came thismorning, tested it out and it seems to work perfectly. cant wait till i can finally get the weapon sorted, its taken me a year to get this far somehow.

I got mine from this ebay shop. I rang an ordered direct from him in the end, am sure I only paid £30 inc p&p in the end. Give the place a ring see what they can do for you
There's a 24V, 350W one on Technobots too, if that's the size and power you're looking for:

Seems to be a good range in that eBay shop too
thanks, i think il see what i can afford then decide what to buy.
does anyone know if i can change the sprocket on a scooter motor i already have but uses a belt sprocket. just looking on the ebay and i found some, but not sure if they fit?

sure u can change it, you have a welder if needs be
thanks, think il change it to save some money. im trying to make this build as low cost as possible.
would it be best to go for one with less or more teeth?
youll want to gear the motor down so the axes moves at a slower rate to motor youll need a smaller gear on motor and bigger on axe mech how big is up to you really
just got the basic design that i may be using modelled in blender:

i also got the drive sprocket and the chain, just need to wait till friday so i have enough money to buy the driven sprocket.
also i may have broken my reciever, not sure yet may just be flat batteries.
Design looks cool but I dont think youve allowed room at the back for how big those motors are?
you mean the drill motors? im hoping to put them at the front, so i can have a narrow back and make it turn easier ( although i guess it will be hard to controll).Quote:
