Hi,

I am relatively new to the forum, but thought its about time I introduced myself.

Im an electrical engineer for a living (degree in mechanical/chemical engineering) working on electrical systems for buildings.

Got a son who is mad on Robots and getting to the stage where weve bought the remote control, put together a few ant weights by modifying a few servos etc.

To be honest, Im a bit stuck at this point in time. Coming down from 11KV/400V/230V to this size is a little way out from what im used to.

I am currently looking at a reasonable drive system (Motors and speed controllers) which can be used as the base for a half decent featherweight.

Just wondering if you guys had any suggestions on which motors would work well with certain spped controllers. Also battery size and type.

Regards

Andy
