thanks Ewan, keep up the good work

Still contemplating buying some shafts and bearings to make up some freewheel mounts
Might order some shafts to have a play with

Oh missus....

Out of interest how much do the GR02s weigh? I can't seem to find it any where. Thanks

[Anttazz]

Weight: 440g (excluding optional leads and fixings)

Weight:450g (excluding optional leads and fixings))

[Bodge Job]

Awesome thanks! That's brilliant! Lucky it's lighter than planned!

Do you think 24v gimson motors with 36:1 gearboxes will be ok with 150mm wheels?

[typhoon_driver]

I shouldn't see why not. All metal gears so the gearboxes should be fine. Might get a bit hot at the end of a battle but I can't see it being an issue

You should be OK, make sure the wheel doesn't overhang the shaft too much though, or if it does make sure you add some more support.

The high force GLA6000 model actuators are now reduced to clear, these would make a decent drive for a heavyweight self-righter or perhaps a featherweight grabbing/crushing arm when run at 24V or higher.
