Walk into a large woolworths or big W. When I left the UK they had their own brand of cheap drills on sale for around 10 quid.

With 750 rpm drill the top speed was 30 mph at the top of the page is where i got it from. And then you even went on to suggest that youd run them at 1000rpm!!

Anyway, youll get cheap 9.6V drills for a tenner each. Woody posted a link with instrctions on how to modify them. Get the motor mounts and 75mm blue wheels from Robochallenge and overvolt them to 12V or 14.4V and youll have a pretty good drive system which is at the top end of what you can control properly.

Good morning Alex R.

The forum is recommending going the cheap 9.6v route.
But here is a link to a drill that meets your specs and is a decent brand...NO BATTERY.

Slightly cheaper..

Alex ...Im not sure if the Makita is suitable.
DONT BUY IT .
I need to investigate the gearbox type.

The gearbox is slightly different to the cheaper cordless drills...but suitable if you wish to go the Makita route.

Thanks for the warning. I actually have a set of 7 cm wheels (my Grandfather came down today), and we have decided on 2 drills, made four wheel drive by timing belts.

Thanks,

Alex

Ask the people at my grandfathers company and follow their instuructions very carefully. Im not kidding. Maybe do some research.

Any advice would be helpful though.

I know argos do the challenge line of drills (they did have a cheap 14.4v drill but seemed to have stopped doing it now) but have been looking around to get as much power for as little and as simple as possible

Any help on the matter would be gratefully receieved
