I am currently working on a small, very simple RC project of a small tank. The body of the tank uses two 9VDC motors and I have the skid-steering controller for it. However, for the turret, I decided to go very simple and use a couple motors I had. One is a Tamiya "HE" wormgear motor and the other is the steering switcher (very technical term) from an RC truck. The problem is that the RX device I have (forward/reverse, left/right) uses 6VDC which causes the Tamiya motor to spin quickly--taking a while to decelerate, making aim impossible--and the steering motor, which was to be the elevator, switches back and forth rapidly. I discovered that both motors work perfectly on 1.5VDC. The wormgear motor still maintains much of its torque and both motors work at just the right speed. The only problem is that the 27MHz RX device I have is 6VDC. Is there any regulator/resistant circuit that can be used to reduce the 6VDC to 1.5VDC without harming the RX device? (I have been unable to find RC toys with this low voltage)
