It works beautifully. A electronic speed controller coupled to a 125:1 geared motor provides quite delicate control. The motor drives a 50mm timing gear around the turret ring which as a 5mm pitch timing belt glued on it's inner surface. Paintball proof!

The speed controller is one for RC boats. Buggy type speed controllers generally have the first part of the reverse sector as a braking circuit. This would mean that in one direction, your turret would be tryiong to operate as a regenerative braking system. Marine speed controllers work the same way in forwards and reverse. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
