Featherweight Drive Motors

[Eventorizon]

Thanks, do you have a link for any or when I could buy them? I can only find chainsaws

That robot looks great! Nice to see a very different design and I like all the laser cutting.

Bosch 35 are found in the electric car seat assemblies of Jags, eBay, Scrap yards, are yoru best bet. Do you not want to use Drills because of size constraints?

Theres two on one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-XJ40-X ... 20be5252b7 what size wheels are you planning on using?

Spinning weapon standard is a Speed 900 motor http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/aca ... _6373.html. and you could run it off a relay rather than an expensive speed controller and it'll work nicely.

I have a set of the 919D motors* that I took out of an old FW if they are any use to you. I replaced them with drill motors before using them, but they do run on up to 15v whereas the ones in your link (to replace the current ones with) only run at up to 12v I think it says. Saying that, it will probably work at 14.4 that you're using but might burn out sooner. Bosch 35w's or drill motors seem to be more popular though

Thanks, though the actual cutting was done at my university, if only I had my own cutter.... (day dreaming)

Is it only jaguars or are they in other cars to? I have been to my scrapyard before and picked up a pair of windscreen wiper motors for another project but there was not a single jaguar there! Plenty of Renault Clios and Pergeto 206's but no jags...

I am guessing you mean I should use these for drive btw, not the weapon?

[Anttazz]

Yup, Bosch 35w for the drive and possibly a Speed 900 for the weapon

[PJ-27]

Or a car radiator fan motor for the weapon (or so I've been advised) currently building a robot with one, I'll let you know how it works out!

And there's a reason scrappies are full of 206's and Clio's.......

I would recomend the banebot gear box's can fit a 550 motor on but later if needed more power the motors can be swapped with something more powerful and the gearboxs are made to withstand , i've bought a pair to make a feather with

Those Gimson GR01's look perfect! How many of you use those or would you recommend them anyway?
