Steve, I was talking about how neil was saying that he dealt in Newtons, not PSI.
" Ben , I think your problem Could well lie with the quality of your lazy Susan , looking at the last pic I wonder how thick it is , I measure force in Newton’s and I have no idea how inch pounds relates to Newton’s so I cant be mathematical, but your motor looks `grunty` enough to me. can you turn it with your hand easily ?

I was saying that you can't really compare newtons to PSI, you use Pascals as an equivilant. -Greg On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 3:54 AM, AES <[email protected]> wrote: > Guys, > > I offer gears that attach tot he Rocklear bearrings. take a look here for > pictures: > > http://astromechbuilder.com/mechloader/v/R7Dude/Parts/Frame+Group/Gear+Set/ > > And here: > > http://astromechbuilder.com/mechloader/v/R7Dude/B9/Gears/ > > let me know if your interested > > > Andy > > ------------------------------ > *From:* Fred Thomson <[email protected]> > *To:* R/C Tank Combat <[email protected]> > *Sent:* Thursday, June 25, 2009 10:55:44 AM > *Subject:* [TANKS] Re: Traverse - failed attempt #1 > > > Exactly the problem I encountered with a belt driven turret.
