Hi,

Has anyone used these motors? If so are they any good?

12V 6A is a bit weak for a feather.
Thats 36W each side, Peak.
It further will depend on gearing, but to get a feather mobile with that lack of power, it will be at turtle speed.

ah ok, i have got some bosch 35w motors, but i didnt realise they have a 4mm square bore and i dont have the machines to custom make a drive shaft. im trying to look for a company to make me one but no luck :sad:

I asked the same question on the Technobots Forum, thinking that the RD01 drive system was ideal for a feather. I was directed to this reply:

The RD01 is not really intended for general RC applications but for autonomous type robots. As for weight class, not actually tried them out myself but I would suggest a pair of motors would be fine for Z12 to Z6 (1 to 2kg). With the RD01 wheels, you are only looking at a speed of some 2mph. I would expect the motors to be under powered for Z4 (3kg) class.

Daniel,

Put a post in the wanted section, you might well find someone on here that can machine some shafts for you.
