[TANKS] Re: Motor Noise
I was going to suggest that you buy some diodes as well, but it looks like you're all set. What type of caps did you buy? (electrolytic, ceramic, expensive mylar...?) Also, I don't know what you paid for the caps from Amazon, but if you've never been to the site before I usually get all of my stuff from futurlec.com. They are by far the cheapest place I've ever seen for general components all the way up to things like ADCs and microcontrollers. The only downside is that the shipping can be hit or miss sometimes, and on one order (out of dozens that I've placed) I had to wait for a while. Otherwise they've been awesome. Also, I think they're based in australia, so you guys may have better luck with shipping down there On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 3:26 PM, Joker wrote: > > I broke one open.

[TANKS] Re: Weight distribution.
looking at the assembled set, i would think if you were to connect the brackets above the wheels (guessing this is where you'll attach the springs somehow) like you did with the central housing (part your holding) with a piece of tubing, i think that would help stiffen the entire unit. another thing i just saw, where the brackets attach tot eh central housing, is there any way to add a piece of tubing between them like you have further up? i would think that this mounting point, as is, could be a weak point if the wheel set where to deflect too much from one side to another causing the corners on the main plate and the brackets to bend a bit. but with the piece of tubing behind it, it should add more support surface for them - if you can follow what i'm trying to explain (not always good at explaining things when not in person). other than that, the only other think that i could see playing into any of this to cause failure would be the pressure from the springs themselves. as to weight displacement of the tank for running over say a branch or rock, the set of wheels going over the said item wouldn't be bearing all of the tanks weight as with the sprung suspension would help distribute the weight to a point at least that's my stab at it.

[TANKS] I'll forget tomorrow...charging question
I was charging my batteries with a smart charger and it gives me two options, either charge my 2 batteries as stand alone batteries or I can charge them with a jumper in between one battery's positive to the other's negative (series). What advantage if any does one set-up have or the other. Thanks Tom --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Re: Motor Noise
I broke one open. I'll take pictures of it tonight and post them. Didn't see any capitors in the one's i bought off ebay. Bought a whole bunch of 0.1uf cap's off amazon. figured i'd try to install them to keep from frying relays. I also bought some relays with diodes in them, in another attempt to keep me from frying relays. I'll have to see if all my little bits work soon. I figure its this, or start running my tank at 12v instead of 24v. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Re: It lives, Dr Frankenstein! It lives!
In practice, sometimes 5' becomes a lot less, especially with fast and/ or heavy tanks. Mr. Tyng has been known to ram a few "items". The Cromwell is a force to be reckoned with.
