Post by: drgn006 on March 11, 2009, 11:45:28 PM: I would consider moving that battery. It's in a bad spot for a blade to cut through your thin armor. Whether it's 6061 or 7075 aluminum, or even steel, I'd recommend moving the battery to the middle.

Also, make sure you put some hot glue or shoe goo to help hold the scorpion connections in. If you're comfortable with a soldering iron, I'd recommend soldering the wires to the scorpion.

But it sadly died cause my brother thought it was funny to "dip" it in water.

Post by: Reier on July 15, 2009, 11:31:28 AM: Does anyone have any idea what motor this is? My Dad gave me 2 for my birthday a few years back, and I want to know if they would be good drive motors on a ~30 lb bot. They both seem fairly powerful when hooked up to an 18v drill battery.

You could use this:

The Small Johnson motor can produce 1/3 horsepower at twelve volts, plenty of power for a hobby weight. Best part: 5.29 a motor. I see it as the new EV warrior.

Post by: Reier on July 17, 2009, 12:54:27 PM: I just want to know what the motors I currently have are. I don't really want to buy new ones.
