Re: [TANKS] Re: New tank; need advice on motors
Nice little device (provided it can be found at a reasonable price) that eliminates a couple of hassles associated with mounting sprockets on shafts. On 8/10/2013 10:25 PM, Derek Engelhaupt wrote: Isaac, When I had a set of EV Warrior motors, I bought some Fenner Trantorque keyless bushings to mount my drive sprockets to the 8mm shaft. The 5/16" version actually is well within tolerance for use with an 8mm shaft. The keyless bushings don't mar the shaft at all or require any thing going through the shaft. I found mine on Ebay for like $5/per bushing, but they are normally like $20/per if bought at retail price. I do have some left over that are still in the factory packaging if you want to give them a shot. I'd let them go for what I paid plus shipping. The issue of using the 8mm bushing from Fenner as opposed the the 5/16" bushing is that you would then need metric sprockets which are hard to find to fit over the 8mm keyless bushing. The keyless bushings cinch down on the shaft while pushing out on the sprocket mounted over them. No keyway or set screws are used. Using the standard 5/16" size on the 8mm shaft means that normal standard bore sprockets can be used (in this case 3/4"). I got lucky and found some small 3/4" bore sprockets (like 10 tooth and no hub) in standard 35 pitch that fit right over them. I sold the motors, connector pigtails, EV mounts, sprockets, a set of bushings, and the sprockets to someone here on the list a while back because I didn't want to deal with creating a reduction for them. Here's what the keyless bushings look like: http://www.fennerdrives.com/trantorque/?s=ZnwyMzE4 I use them for my drive sprockets to mount the 60 pitch sprockets to my 5/8" main drive shafts. You can see the gold colored keyless bushings on the rear drive axles (of course those are much larger than the ones I used on my EV Warrior motors): On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 8:02 AM, isaac goldman mailto:panthergol...@gmail.com>> wrote: Thanks for the advice; I really appreciate that you took the time to type all that up.

Re: [TANKS] Re: New tank; need advice on motors
Forgot to mention, they can be loosened and tightened as many times as you need to. If the sprocket is not where you want it you simply loosen the bushing, slide the sprocket/bushing where you want it, and tighten it back down. I've never had mine slip being used to hold my drive sprockets in place and those carbon steel tracks are heavy as hell (like 20lbs each).

Re: [TANKS] Re: New tank; need advice on motors
Being that they could stall and draw 100A each. I would overkill a smidge with 8awg or 10awg silicone jacketed high strand count wire. You could get by with 12awg though I bet.

Of course that's if your tracks didn't slip at all your motors would stall. My tracks are steel so they would slip some.

Re: [TANKS] Re: New tank; need advice on motors
I have seen people use standard clips, but Robot Market Place looks like they still have the connectors in stock: http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-EVCABLE.html Most people were using (2) 12V 18AH batteries to power them. The fuses you would need on them would really depend on the speed controller you use. Personally I have blown 30A fuses with my scooter motors. I think I'm using a 50A fuse with a 60A controller. Stall current would be if you decided to do something like...running your tank into a wall and keep pushing the motors full throttle. At that point they would stall and be pulling upwards of 100A.

[TANKS] Re: New tank; need advice on motors
Update; I just received a set of EV motors, and am almost at the stage of mounting them in the tank. I have a few questions concerning EV motors though for people who know about them. Im planning to run them off 24 volts. Id like to know what rating on the fuse and relays people use, as the datasheet claims a stall current of over 100 amps. Id like to know how many Ah the batteries should be. Lastly, do i need the ev wiring harness or do the tabs accept standard sized crimp connectors?
