my tank will weight less becouse it will be 1:12, thats why i have problems as i cant find any information on such thanks. also most of you guys use normal motors as i will be using stepper motor. the reason for this is that i wont be making rc battle thank, but rather a robot. so i need precise movement and ability to track the movement. this is simple with stepper, and its very precise. tank will be made out of aluminium, so this will save some weight too. so 15kg is top limit i think.
currently i'm looking at a stepper with 18,7kg*cm torque, but this number doesnt tell me anything as i'm not familiar with mechanics. i'm computer hardware student. 2010/6/21 Ben Holko <[email protected]> > Most tanks also weigh quite a bit more than 15kg, I would think more like > 30kg - 60kg would be the average, of course the smaller examples may get as > low as 15kg. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of neroc > Sent: Monday, 21 June 2010 10:41 PM > To: R/C Tank Combat > Subject: [TANKS] Re: motor choice > > Most people with successful tanks use scooter motors between 250-450 W . > about 1/2 hp > > Neil R > > > > On Jun 21, 1:27 pm, Peter Pišljar <[email protected]> wrote: > > hello. > > > > can somebody give me some ideas or equations on how strong must my > > motor be, to move some weight. > > > > lets say my tank is 15kg, i need to know how much torque and horse > > power should my motor have to move it easily. > > -- > You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group. > To post a message, send email to [email protected] To > unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] > Visit the group at http://groups.google.com/group/rctankcombat > > -- > You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group. > To post a message, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] > Visit the group at http://groups.google.com/group/rctankcombat > -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
