Good morning Alex R.

The forum is recommending going the cheap 9.6v route.
But here is a link to a drill that meets your specs and is a decent brand...NO BATTERY.

Slightly cheaper..

Alex ...Im not sure if the Makita is suitable.
DONT BUY IT .
I need to investigate the gearbox type.

Woody

The gearbox is slightly different to the cheaper cordless drills...but suitable if you wish to go the Makita route.

Thanks for the warning. I actually have a set of 7 cm wheels (my Grandfather came down today), and we have decided on 2 drills, made four wheel drive by timing belts.

Thanks,

Alex

can you tell me how you plan to do it?

Ask the people at my grandfathers company and follow their instuructions very carefully. Im not kidding. Maybe do some research.

Any advice would be helpful though.

I know argos do the challenge line of drills (they did have a cheap 14.4v drill but seemed to have stopped doing it now) but have been looking around to get as much power for as little and as simple as possible

Any help on the matter would be gratefully receieved

Is it going to be a RamBot? And what size wheels are you going to be using?
