Not really, there is a reason we use the dual rate in the Hannibalitos.
13.2V is a bit much with our drivetrains, speed and acceleration is nuts on 100%.
But in the end it all comes to gearratio. And it becomes a trade-off.

Running the 900s at ~20V you will need some serious reduction to stop you from wheelspinning every time you want to take off. The torque is already immense at 13V with a 4.5:1 reduction.
crumple zone update the frame is finished more or less pics on the link below if some one could post the link which works i have no idea why it wont do it for me

hi guys
thinking of making a new feather, wombat will need to be improved later as it died in a practice battle against 2 big rc cars ( thanks to my bad soldering and cut-price Ebay lipos )
it will be called Fodder (wanted to use cannon fodder but its one of pete cs antweights)as im 99% sure it will be ripped apart in its 1st fight lol!
it will use a pair of motors from Tecnobots.com ( i will post the link later) the speedo comes with the motors
no weapon at all! not even brute force lol, the motors go at 4mph or somthing lol, the armor will be 2mm or 4mm polycarb( whatever i can get in my target weight ) .
i know you will be shouting at your screen he should spend a bit more time and money and get ... motors and thicker armor but im just making this as a fun bot, and to give the roboteres/audiance a bit of a laugh, lol!
looking to spend about £150-£200 on it, i have the r.x and t.x, i want it to weigh about 1.5-2kg to get it to go as fast as possible, i know its a bit light but...well my tactics are keep attacking whatever the odds or get compleatly destroyed lol!
jack
these are the motors

i am using a 12v lipo

It is not a drive setup for feathers really. Youd be better of with some standard drills and cheap ESCs (probably cheaper as well). The controller that is in this setup is not for RC but interfaces with logic boards. Its a nice setup for sumobots or linefollowers and the like of that, not combat.
ok thanks
i have decided after some of the comments i got on the rw101 forum that i will go for another drill powered feather
does anyone know of a site or mod that tells me how to hack a dril ( i bought my first ones pre-mod )
http://www.wa4dsy.net/robot/drill-motor-hackhttp://www.wa4dsy.net/robot/drill-motor-hack
Take some time and browse the rest of his site.
EDIT:- Id suggest the removal of the chuck BEFORE taking the drill apart.
