Nah the scooter motor its quite tall, and if ur using sprockets it need to be inline with the gear on the axe, so you need to try and make some kinda protection for it as you have no soft return i.e your going be hitting yourself as hard as your hitting your target
thanks for the advice, il have a think about how to stop it smashing itself apart.Quote:

Hey guys
I am the builder of Pure Evil now with jack orr
For the axe Mech. i used a scooter motor..with a ten tooth chain sprocket
and a 72 tooth chain sprocket on the axe shaft.
This gave a ration of approx 7:1 which worked great.
i also used a rubber roller which acted as a chain tensioner and a back recoil bar
look at his vid....but as he says the batt packs have seen much better days
Cheers froggy
just tested my reciever, its definatly broke. contacting giantcod to find out if they can send a replacement.
havnt updated the thread much in a while, even though most of it i have been asking questions.
so far all i need is the sprocket for the axe as well as a hammer, then im ready to build the robot. managed to break my scooter motor when welding the sprocket on, it doesnt seem to turn smoothly now, so i think il put it on the other motor and hope that doesnt break.
What you mean doesnt turn smoothly, sure you havent just welded it on wonky, or maybe batteries have discharged while you havent been using them?
i havnt tried it with the batteries yet, but when i spin the shaft with my hand it doesnt seems to move as smooth as it used to. the spocket is also wonky so im going to take it off whatever i do.
just ran a quick test on the axe:
