Ive run two wiper motors off of 2x 2.1Ah Yuasa SLA batteries in series to give 24V for ten minutes before they started to slow down. They only got slightly warm.

Ok, I have a 24 Volt gold motor and an 8mm MOD1 gear. My only problem is..

*Places gear on spindle and flicks the gear.The gear rotates around the Axle.*

In the event of pushiong power, that aint gonna help. Any suggestions on a semi permanent fixture?

Are we talking about a flat(type PG) or with a boss(type G) gear? Because a type G is far easier to work with than a type PG. Also it would be handy to know the no. of teeth or the PCD.

All I knew off that Geoff, was the number of teeth. 18 of em if youre interested.

i used grub screws on alphas golds. I used 2 M6s but M4s shoud be fine. Other option is to drill a hole through gear and shaft and put a pin through them both.

Like the quote!

As Alan says the best way is to drill it & pin it!

Ok i got some technobots ww motors today and i was just wondering if any one had any opinions on how to use the shafts on the motors as they are threaded.
