i think it would be in series to give 24V not parallel

batteries in series, motors in parallel.

so is there anything else about this setup that screams ah noob to anyone?

Yes Windscreen Wiper motors
Interms of amount of time lasted I would guess a fair amount! I ran 2x Technobots WW motors for about 15min @24v on 2.2amp SLA batteries. So I would expect about the same from yours if not longer.

k ty. Yeh ww motors are noobish but hey so wat (retorical question).
I plan to use would i connect the speedos in parallel to the batteries so i get 24v going through both?

[typhoon_driver]

yes, and then you connect each individual motor in parallel again to the speedo as you will want the 24v going to both motors

Is it possible to get a mixer(s) for electronizes that will let 1 receiver output control motors in forward and reverse of two seperate speedos, and another output to make one side go forward and the other backwards so it will turn?

Thats what any mixer does. The GWS one from technobots is one of the best.

ok thanks, i knew thats what mixers do but i wasnt sure if they worked for electronizes or which ones did.

I started out with the Futuba 2ER which Technobots (http://www.technobots.co.ukhttp://www.technobots.co.uk) now sell for just under £40. That includes the receiver and two servos, although you probably wont need the servos. It only has two channels however, so youll need to replace it if you add any weapons that need remote control.

Ok i think we might get that one. Does anyone know of any with a few more channels but are still reasonably priced?

The minimum your going to pay for a 3+ channel 40mhz radio set is going to be about £100 unless you find someone selling second hand.

You could try looking at the Hitech radio kits. I found one place selling them here.
