So these are my thoughts about installing motors on the Daimler. They're supposed to be *logical* assumptions.
I'll use two 18V right angle cordless drills, mounted on the wheels as in : http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T056/022-large.jpg Kiddie cars can run 30 kgrs on one 12 V motor. They are better geared for a larger torque, that's why they run only 5 kms/hour. However, the Wattage of two 18 volt motors is still four times larger . And that's for a vehicle (1:6 Daimler) that is about 12 kgrs heavy. The drive wheel of the Daimler has twice the diameter of my tanks that also run on two 18 V drills. The speed is doubled on the Daimler . At the same time that reduces torque to about half. However my tanks weigh 24 kgrs, when the Daimler weighs half as much. I don't want motors that, yes, run teh vehicle only a little, and the motors get very hot very fast. One good thing with these cordless drills is you can still hope you can switch to the fast gear which is 1500 RPM, go for 45 kms/h, and perhaps do stunts. On teh low gear and 500 RPM, I expect that the Daimler will run with 15 km/h. I don't trust markers on a fast or a relatively fast vehicle. Vehicles tip over frequently. This is a problem. All teh above sounds *logical* and comes from experience . I am hoping that it will work at the end. Any reactions are welcome.
