Motor for axe/mace

[Ocracoke]

The normal motor I've seen for an axe is a scooter motor in the 200-300W range (example:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-...e/184650912002). In theory, with the right gearing, even a 775 motor might work, it all depends on the gearing.

Thank you. We will be using a battery that is 11V and the motor you linked, and most of what I have seen on ebay, are 24V. Will they work on 11V or would that be too underpowered?

You could potentially use a 12v scooter motor that will run at full capacity, but tend to be 150 watt or abouts. I used one in wanna choppy, an axe bot that was low in height so had to use a smaller motor. It still had an impressive looking hit, but in comparison to axebots using these bigger motors, it wasn’t as impressive in damage. That was running on a 5s or a 4s battery, so I did over power it slightly. I used a 6.2:1 ratio with chain.
Mine was I think a ZY6812 motor
