That shaft is more than enough. I've fitted 10mm wide timing pulleys on there, and 6mm chain (at different times) a 30mm wheel and still had tonnes of shaft left

Agree with Harry. Have a dig through the build threads and you should see how people have managed with shorter shafts than the standard Saturn

cheers for the help. Should be able to get over my problem by using a couple of collars to compensate.

Thanks again.

If you have to elongate that immensely long shaft of the Saturn, make sure there is support on the outside.

In the past, people fitted 30mm wide wheels and 20mm wide timing pullies on standard batterydrill drives. And that shaft is barely 20mm long.

yeah looking at 45mm wheels with 22mm gears so that takes me up to 87mm then I will be supporting it with a bearing at the far side that's about 10-15mm wide so that's me up to 102mm call it 105mm to be safe.

Should be fine with a collar will also make changing wheels a bit easier :-) Will do some more design work then try and get an order in once stock of the 85A controllers goes up again.

Hi Ellis will you be getting the 10A ESC's in stock anytime soon?

[higgeh]

Any idea on the depth of the mounting holes of your gearboxes. Im looking for the dimension of the ones that are in the 37mmx24mm pattern on top so I can measure up for mountings

Hi, the Saturn gearbox mounting threads are about 8mm deep (threaded portion - hole itself might be a little deeper).

Yes! It's been an absolutely hectic week or so, but I'll be placing a new stock order for all ESCs soon. ETA would be around 2 weeks from now. Apologies for the wait.

I think you can be excused, you did die on television and be resurrected after all

[MrkLeigh]

I can wait just glad you'll be getting more in. They seem all the rage in beetle weights!

[MrkLeigh]

Any updates on those ESC's Ellis?

[Ellis]

Hi, they should all be in early-mid next week if DHL do their job. Thanks for your patience (everyone)!

[MrkLeigh]

Awesome couldn't inbox me a price on 4 with postage could you?

[Runsler]

could you roughly estimate how much shipping to germany would be for let's say 4 motors + gearboxes and esc?
By now i didn't decide if i want 2 or 4, but better plan the more expensive version

Last package the size of 4 Saturns with motor+ ESC's was £20 for insured P&P to Belgium.

And whatever you buy, buy a spare. Not because the parts are bad, but because Robot Wars is plain destructive.
