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.

[Ellis]

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

[PJ-27]

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?

[PJ-27]

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)

[psycho_fling]

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.
