You can either use a separate 6v battery pack, or you can get/make an electronic voltage regulator kit to convert 18v to 6v.
I think the experienced tankers all recommend a separate battery pack to remove the chance of interference from the motors through the control electrical system.

I've finally decided on a tank to build. I am going to build a Panzer 2 Ausf J. I am choosing the Ausf. J because It has 80mm of Armor in the front, giving me the the 4 defensive rating, while still being a smaller tank. For treads I have decided to go with the door hinge type, to allow for the sagging of the treads like the actual tank. For speed controls I am going with the tri-pact for drive, and an ESC for turret rotation and gun elevation. RC interface will be a Cheap Six Channel (C6C) Servo Controller and a Wireless PS2 controller Drive Motors will be a DeWalt 18V motor, and will use the original gearbox with additional gearing. Not as good as the 24v i was gonna go with, but the 18v allows me to use 3 6v batteries for a total of 18v, but i can hook the C6C up in parallel to just one for its 6v input power. That would work right??? If I am wrong, then I have no other ideas on how to get the 6v for the C6C, and still have the 18v for the motors. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
