Hi guys, I've been reading a ton on your site and there is some great info that I'm looking forward to using on my tank. I was lucky enough to get a hold of a generator for free that someone caught on fire. I got it back up and running and wanted to use it for my tanks powerplant instead of a battery setup. My only concern is that the output is only 10 amps, atleast what I can find on it. I have it at my dads house and haven't put my meter to it yet. I removed all the outlets and saved the onboard rectifier for it, which rectifies it to 12VDC from 120VAC. Now it could rectify it to something else if need be, since I have the wires just straight out of he generated and haven't hooked up to the electrical system.
So....the question is, are there motors that I could find that I could run my drive my system off this generator. I could imagine that the barrel could use a large servo and the turret can use a very small motor to turn it. If nothing else, I could use a battery system for just the turrets and barrel. I'm looking to build a 1/6 Scale M26 Pershing out of either lightweight aluminum frame and tin, or something light and strong for the engine frame and the rest out of tin or lightweight sheetmetal. I'd like to hear some insight on my plan and if anyone knows a way I can make this system work. Thank you for your help. Daniel Watt -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
