Drills

[typhoon_driver]

now something like that would be good, pos on the heavy side but i was gonna upgrade to ni-mh from SLAs at some point anyways.

Im trying to source one on the net at the mo, any ideas where the best place to get one would be?

go down to your local scrappy, there will be loads of beefy old car fan motors. will usually only cost about a fiver. the smaller the car, the smaller the motor.

there made by nippon denso if thats any help, possibly look up a mitsubishi or spare parts place on the net. theyd be expensive brand new though.

i Belive they are also availible in Mirages as well

would the dustin 1 motor be any good for featherweights? (http://www.robotcombat.com/marketplace_dustin.htmlhttp://www.robotcombat.com/marketplace_dustin.html)

Bit overkill, and WAY to expensive.

For that amount of money I can build a full geartrain and have electronizes on them. And that geartrain can pull a heavy.(unfortunatly, not for 5 minutes at one go at combat power)

yeah just thought it wud be a killer drivetrain IF i had the money (which i dont!)

Thingaps would be a more realistic drive train, yet again very expensive though.

Just wondering do i really need to support my drill on both side when i mount them eg one at geatbox and one at drill motor ?
