Thread: single stage gear reduction

    In this way, the speedo and batteries will limit the total available power.

    The Speed 900's will demand a Sidewinder or stronger to give their potential. And then the 130mm wheels will prove an advantage.

    The only result you'll have with 2 speedo's feeding 1 motor is 2 dead speedo's.

    To make it simple. A speedo works because it cuts up the electricity in parts, and these parts can be shortened or lengthened.

    You could sy, 1 minute is 1000 parts (the whole thing will buzz @1KHz) and each part can be run from 0 to 100%

    0 is no power, 100 is full trottle. Now the cutting up is done with mosfets in most speedo's. For explanation function, these mosfets are tiny electricaly switched switches.

    Now, try to switch 1 lightbulb with 2 switches. Each switch is in a different room, and you will have to switch exactly at the same time, otherwise you'll have a short.

    No need too, you can use that 130mm 7.5-1 gearratio speed 900 setup at a much lower voltage and still get respectable power.


    Let us say, 10S NiMH=12V

    Speed 900@12V=6600 rpm

    6600/7.5=880rpm

    130mm*pi*880=359216mm/min= 359216/1000000*60=21.5km/h

    Even dropping back to 3S Lipo gives you 19.9km/h
    Or 3S LiFePo = 17.7km/h

    The ESC will be a limiting factor.

    On the other hand, if 666W per side ain't enough, you're in the wrong weightclass.

    But, the Speed 900 setup as you propose runs a tad fast, doesn't it.
    42km/h is a tadoverkill.

    So, why the persistent use of the 22.2V? It's not if a 2450mAh 3S Lipo is that expensive.

    Strange reasoning. ‚20 to have a battery that is lighter, smaller and more useable for the idea, of trowing a complete idea in the garbage can?

    Also, if you want to use the 6S to drive a spinner, even then a seperate drive-battery ain't the worst idea you can implement.

    What do people think of these pinions?

    From brushless rc helicopters, just a bit worried about durability
