Hi guys,

Well I have redesigned my project, here is my previous posthttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9489456/tm.htmI have taken the gears out of the RC car and installed them onto an aluminum arm, I am also going to use a O-ring as the belt and also as the tire. The whole wheel/bearing assembly as it stands weighs 1.13lbs. here are some photos to help describe what i'm workingon





The current motor from my RC car is a RC-280SA-2675, I couldn't find anything on it but i came close with the RC-280SA-2865 which can be found herehttp://www.mabuchi-motor.co.jp/en_US...s/rc_280sa.pdfI have calculated the motor to output 1.68W, I guess my question is do you guys think it will be powerful enough to move this thing? The whole thing as it sits right now weighs about 4.27lbs if this engine is not powerful enough could i use a different motor that operates on 9.6V? In other words I know i would need a speed controller and the motoritselfbut could i just cut the wires to the old motor and swap in the new one and it should beOK? I am new to this and am seeking help from the pros!

Thanks guys!
