gonna do a crawler....
Hi everyone, my mind is made up and I am gonna do a crawler. So you guys are gonna see me around more ;). I have been sitting on the fence for awhile..... I can't resist anymore. I am gonna do it a little at a time, first up are the clod axles and gears. Which brings me to my quetion... are the dual motor gear boxes any good? I am thinking of the scorpion v2 chassis. Hopefully I can get a runner by spring. :D
Here are the axles I am planning on, untill someone gives me some major issues with using them. [link]http://www.jpspro.com/images/Dual%20Motor.jpg[/link] [link]http://www.clodparts.com/products/hop-ups/69.html[/link] |

RE: gonna do a crawler....
What would be the best approach to this? each axle has the motors in series and the axles in parallel to the esc? or two esc's seperate of each other with a y from receiver to each?

RE: gonna do a crawler....
now you are getting into weight 4 motors two esc and 4 batteries

Don't get me wrong, im also a noob to the rock crawling scene. But wouldn't you want weight? As long as its low, i only see it helping.

Well that's why I am kinda hoping I can go 4 motors, 1 esc, 2 batts. Speed is not what I am shooting for it is pure torque that I want. I was kinda leaning towards 4 reedy quad mags..... but i might have to go to a higher turn count depending on the esc.

Get 4 Integy 55 turn lathe motors! You would have more than enough torque!:D

RE: gonna do a crawler....
if you could use those axles and stay under 10 lbs you can have one hellofa crawler

Yeah, 4 motors is probably overkill. The stock axles are plenty cheap and tough, plus the gears are swappable so you can have some strength inside. It's true the aluminum is tough and lovely, but it will soon be banged up with the rest.
These are JPS axles with steering and axle tubes before I mounted them, and I even had the pretty anodized heat sinks. In the end, I sold these off and went back to the plastic. http://www.knibbet.com/supertwo/axles.gif |
