Motor Questions
Ihave some questions about motors in general for the tanks we tend to work with.
1. What is the range of output voltages (assuming there are a range)or what is the steady voltage from the RX18 to each of the motors?
2. Is the power of the motor (and by that Imean torque) related to the voltage of the motor/voltage being delivered to it or the current (amps)?.
3. Is it possible to fit (or even buy) motors with very high torque? and by that Imean much higher than the stock motors.....
4. Where is it possible to buy things like the cogs, wheels and bits and pieces used in the gearboxes or parts for chain drives (ie. small drive chains and the like)?
5. Can a stock motor/gearbox combo be turned to 3:1 using a chain drive and appropriate cogs without dismantling the gearbox?
6. Are there any threads (I checked with no success from my side) that anyone knows of dealing with big powerful motors in 1:16 scale tanks?
7. Is there any measurement of strength (as in "pulling power"or whatever) that has come to be adopted by tank people? Like pushing a weight, or managing an incline or whatever?
Sorry for the questions. But somehow, no matter how heavy the tank or how realistically it sits on the tracks or whatever.....Ijust have the feeling that its not going to manage to come crashing through the wall of a house (appropriately scaled of course).
And Im after that feeling of grunt and muscle......
