Ok so far I have a electric wheelchair drive system i.e. 2 geared motors, motor speed controller, and joystick controller, and batterys.... I think this is a very large drive setup for a tank.. hence my tanks name will be "overkill". The motors with the gearbox are about 13 inces long and about 4 inches across. They came off of a chair made for a parapalegic. I imagine with these, I will be able to pull a small car. The top speed on the chair was about 15 mph (variable speed).
but anyways, back to the scale part... how does the math work for scale? I have heard that most people run 1/4 or 1/6 scale and everyone elese makes their tanks 3 feet long or 36". and if I make mine 3 foot long, how do I figure what the rest of the measurement will be based off of that measurment. This is the first time since high school that I have needed to do this much math. and I think I need a refresher course. or is there somewhere online that has scale drawings? Thanks much... you guys are the best... Steve Tying, overkill is gunnin for ya....
