Hi Swathdiver, thanks for your reply! i have looked through a lot of posts here, like your motor testing thread (using the friendly search function!) and all seem only to give amperage under no load, rather than its working current draw.

I know i could easily just order myself a new rx18,and fitting it would be much easier, but i would still like to make an autotank! My housemate is a coding guru (i think hes about 68% digital now!) and he is quite keen to let his skills loose on a picaxe microcontroller, so we have joined projects to try and create an automated drone tank.

But yeah "less than 10" fantastic...that at least gives me a rough idea of the size of current i am playing with here!


Blessings,
chris
