Ok well im gonna stick to golds in the mean time then upgrade later on. Is there anybody who custom builds gearboxes?
So gear reduction options are -
1. chain and sprockets
2. gearbox
3. belts
depends on the design of bot. for a 2 wheeled bot gears would probably be best. If you want 4-6 wheels then either use a system like storm 2 (geared to one set of wheels then chained off to others) or have one chain/belt that runs around everything. you dont have to have a gearbox to run gears.
Sorry for hijacking a thread, but:
but your looking at 4.5kg for motors/gearboxes if you use 4. and what speedcontroller are you planning on using? as each motor can probably pull over 150 amps each (stall). Ats all well and good having this much power, but can you get enough traction?
IFI Victor 883s and lots of skid marks.

Not a very good video, but you get the idea. (and of Philips flipper Marauder.)
