Lookin gd, would be cool to have a feather tanto What speed are you aiming for?. What thickness armour are you gonna use, and what size+voltage batts?

I hope your not using those wheels in the pic, youd never get the power down with them, get some ali ones vulced or get some of the big 100/150mm Robochallenge ones from james.

Speed about 15mph should give me good pushing power. Batteries 2 12v 3700 in series. Armour will have to see what weight I have left. Speed controller Sidewinder. No I wont be useing the wheels in the pic probably make my own as they need to be 160mm.

I would love to know what brand of drills you are using to claim stats of 2x1½hp+

Assmuing 24v Drills almost 50amps each, with that size of a motor I dont think they could sustain that kind of ampage on a continious basis.
