Speed controls: If you want something homemade and cheep, then get this. http://anvilus.com/mrc.html its made using relays and is about as simple as they get. There is even a diagram to build it. http://anvilus.com/mrc_manual.pdf Note that this speed control does not offer variable speed tho. simply full on or off throttle. This one does tho. http://anvilus.com/relay_ssr.html
Motors: Speed or torque, pick one or get bigger motors. The heavier the tank the more torque you will need to perform those full skid turns. If you want both then look into bigger motors such as 24v 450w-600w as seen below. perferably ones with gear reduction. http://www.electricscooterparts.com/motors24volt.html Pictures: Open a flickr or Photobucket account and upload photos to there. Then post links here to those photos. The more you share the more we see and understand how to advise. Mostly we like to see what others are building :) . Tank: What purpose is this tank trying to acomplish if not pantball? Is it modeled after anything, or is it 100% custom? What are the exterior dimensions? L - W - H What are you building materials? -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
