I have been lurking and learning, asked the odd question, given away 13 electric wheel chairs and motor kits for free to forum members so not totally new.

I picked up Hardox and Daveimi old shell and sort of merged them !

Shell - Done ( no paint yet)
Weapon - 80% done
Drive Train 60% complete
Wiring Harness 85% complete
Wheels - Ready just waiting on motors.
ESC on its way but harness ready to receive it


Well within weight limit at 77kg, so Armour will be my last task once weighed...
( how is it weighed at a live event & how close do you skirt to 110kg...)

now my weak point .... i really hate electrics.. but i can do it..

Can some one translate this for me into suitable battery packs and how many i need based on your experience?

I am limited to 45v max, but up to 60 amps per channel output.

Spinner weapon is 17 kilos, was thinking hi amp starter solenoid for it perhaps ?

i have 4x 350w motors or 2x 800w to choose from.

● 6 – 18 cells NiMH or NiCd battery.
● 3 – 6 cells LiPo or Li*Ion battery.
● 10V – 45V sealed lead acid battery.
● 10V – 45V power supply (​ Must be in parallel with a battery with same voltage​


Opinions and helpful direction welcome.
I guess the weapon is a spinner?
Would really help if you could give us the MoI of it (or at least the rough shape and diameter), since weight distribution is at least as, if not even more important than the pure weight to know how it will behave.
