Not really, there is a reason we use the dual rate in the Hannibalitos.
13.2V is a bit much with our drivetrains, speed and acceleration is nuts on 100%.

But in the end it all comes to gearratio. And it becomes a trade-off.

Running the 900s at ~20V you will need some serious reduction to stop you from wheelspinning every time you want to take off. The torque is already immense at 13V with a 4.5:1 reduction.

hi guys

thinking of making a new feather, wombat will need to be improved later as it died in a practice battle against 2 big rc cars ( thanks to my bad soldering and cut-price Ebay lipos )

it will be called Fodder (wanted to use cannon fodder but its one of pete cs antweights)as im 99% sure it will be ripped apart in its 1st fight lol!

it will use a pair of motors from Tecnobots.com ( i will post the link later) the speedo comes with the motors

no weapon at all! not even brute force lol, the motors go at 4mph or somthing lol, the armor will be 2mm or 4mm polycarb( whatever i can get in my target weight ) .

i know you will be shouting at your screen he should spend a bit more time and money and get ... motors and thicker armor but im just making this as a fun bot, and to give the roboteres/audiance a bit of a laugh, lol!

looking to spend about £150-£200 on it, i have the r.x and t.x, i want it to weigh about 1.5-2kg to get it to go as fast as possible, i know its a bit light but...well my tactics are keep attacking whatever the odds or get compleatly destroyed lol!

i am using a 12v lipo

It is not a drive setup for feathers really. Youd be better of with some standard drills and cheap ESCs (probably cheaper as well). The controller that is in this setup is not for RC but interfaces with logic boards. Its a nice setup for sumobots or linefollowers and the like of that, not combat.

ok thanks

i have decided after some of the comments i got on the rw101 forum that i will go for another drill powered feather

does anyone know of a site or mod that tells me how to hack a dril ( i bought my first ones pre-mod )

Take some time and browse the rest of his site.

EDIT:- Id suggest the removal of the chuck BEFORE taking the drill apart.

Jack, Just before you go buying all these lipos i would check the FRA rules. Firstly you need a 2mm thick metal base for them, along with the other safety features.
But more importantly, your asking for disaster using lipos with 2mm polycarb armour. Although to run the arena must be capable of containing the fire, some things are asking for trouble and so some event organisers may not allow it to fight if theres a very good chance it could go up in flames.
Not to put you off, or put you down, just something to consider.

yeah grant,i have been told, thats why i have now decided to choose a different battery

i have also decided to merge the wombat and fodder projects to make Da Bomb a 2wd flipper, the flipper is powered by a motor at 12v

also what do people think about gold motors?,are they good? are they better than drill motors? and how reliable are they?

the armor is now 4.5mm mild steel with a outer skin of 2mm polycarb

gold motors are good but heavy i think speed 900s are better and i doint think you need the poly c with 4.5mm mild steel juts wasting money and weight, also how are you planning to make the armour?

on another note i have put some pics on line of crumple zone the main bits of the armour

to have a look follow woodys link i cant get it to work
