Does anybody know where these can be bought? I've had a look online but cant find anything (not sure if I'm searching the right things). Cheers, James.

Only place you can buy them from in the UK. Last week they had 120 left in stock. They are now discontinued. The part number is F006 B10 274.

Really? That sucks... Do they come up second hand much?

[geeza]

You get the odd one on eBay, but they tend to go for a lot which means you are better of buying a new one.

Why do you need one?

[JamesDavies]

Hmmm, looking at giving leveller a bit more power- It's very sluggish at the moment...

[Mouldy]

bosch still do them, but the part numbers changed.

Ellis components told me they were getting discontinued too but as dave said they are still avaliable but with a different part number-sommets slightly different on em thou i think

[geeza]

I spoke to them last week, even though the part number has changed they are still discontinued.

[JamesDavies]

Hmmm that's crappy... Is there any obvious alternative? How much were they when they were new?

[blazerbotics]

Around £100 each, what batteries are you currently running, you might find an upgrade there would help?

We have 2 12V SLAs 22ah (just like the ones in battleaxe I noticed this weekend).

James,

I am currently fitting a pair of F30-400 motors from robotmarketplace at $109 apiece, supposedly double the power of the Bosch's at 2hp - 1500watts.
Should be running at Maidstone with them so wait till then and I will know whether they are a good investment.

The pair cost me just over £200 with delivery and £16 import duty.

Strange, the F30-400 is priced @ $239 .
The E30-400 is priced @ $109.
Peak HP =2.1= 1565W. Torque is comparable with the 750.

Advantages, smaller and lighter than the Bosch 750, easier available and cheaper.

Disadvantage, runs about twice as fast. So any gain in weight and size will be eaten with the gearing.

[JamesDavies]

Thanks Trevor! Been looking at robot marketplace... Found some cracking 32 hp motors (which would require a mortgage). What motors were you previously using?

James

CIM motors - more discontinued than the bosch's

Motors are E30-400, my mistake
