https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GY1FUQhwSOfZ-h27VX398Qx3Q4trMxrOrxTYN8o46xQ?feat=directlink There is a link to my current set up. I have a 100rpm gear motor directly driving a hub with a 4" foam rubber wheel that rides on the inside of the turret ring. I'm using a scorpion mini v2 controller. Link below. http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-SCORP-MINI2.html I find that writing down my thoughts on this board help me sort things out.
My current thoughts: For speed, i have two choices, gear it up, or find a faster motor. I'm also thinking that if i add multiple motors, i can run multiple setups from a motor controller. This would give me multiple drive points, more like 4 fingers of grip rather than 1. This could help in two ways: When starting, i would get less slippage and faster response, when stopped i would have the four motors and wheels providing resistance to the turrets motion. Sorry with the limited details on my first message, fustration had set in for a moment. :) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
