Graupner motors

another picture

You put the grubscrews where the metal balls used to be after you tip them out. Ellis' video shows you where they go

ok thanks Max.

use atleast 2 grub screws per motor (use the correct size) but do not tighten otherwise you will completly lock the gearbox and start to bend and warp the plastic gearboxes

does anyone have a link to the screws because i couldn't find anything in Wickes

i think however im not 100% sure because its a while since i did this myself you will need m5 gurb screws wait before ordering until someone else confirms

the m5 x 8 (8 is the length in mm) will work fine

Got mine on Ebay, although I pretty much rounded off everyone.

We got 2 packs of 10 from Ebay, 5mm long m5. They're too short, really. Get 8mm long for safety, they should come just flush if you tighten down.

Also, they're likely to be a 2.5mm size allen key, make sure you have one. :)

I know its a little of topic, but can someone post a link to the speed 900 replicas

Thanks :D

i can't find them so i thaight they sold out

Here you go, now £12.50 though!

thanks PJ.
only 9.5amps 12v
you can run 2 on an electronize could you?
115w isn't that much.
I'm always on the hunt for high power motors.

I doubt it. Those motors will likely pull a lot more than 9.5amps under heavy load.

The weapon on Bitzawood uses one and the ESC, although rated for 30a I think is somewhat optimistic doesn't even get warm.

But to use them at their full potential you'll want a beefy ESC and probs want to run them above 12v.

grub screws look ok and cheap.

would a speed adjuster with a servo be like a speed controller?

No. That little box just outputs what your Rx would if you where moving the sticks on your Tx, only you're twisting a little knob.

This does remind me though, has anyone ever used Passive Speed Controllers? Like you used to get in old RC cars?

in IKEA where they sell £1 chopping boards.
they also sell 10aa batteries for £1 good for powering a transmitter.
the chopping boards are really bendy, would they be ok with some steel over them?
(i know my robots wood but I'm planning for the future)

I think as was proved at the champs chopping boards are a good source of cheap plastic but if they hit a spinner the appear to shatter, however at most events they should be fine probably even without the steel

bare in mind those batteries are cheap for a reason, i would change the tx to run off a rechargable tx nimh battery easy to do

Botbitz help needed.
i got my escheap85s yesterday but they came with no instructions.
i have used single channel speedos before with not much problem.
but they don't even tell you what are the motor or battery wires.
i take it the side with the red wire on is for battery's red=+ black=-
but i also need ti know will i need a failsafeing receiver?
i will be using a giant cod TX.
thanks
and what's the board atatchment quotta?
that's what comes up when i try to send an attachment.
they're not much of questions but i don't want to blow it up that's all.
i will look over 360s build and check for the wiring.

the red and black wires are the battery power wires. the two black wires go to the motor. just swap them round if the motor goes the wrong way. Think you'll need a Rx with fail-safe (might be wrong though)
