Re: [TANKS] Re: hinges
I know the sort of hing you want, but I can't remember the name. Plus I think they aren't particularly common these days, being superseded by the new style cabinet hinges. -Gregory On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 6:23 AM, odysseyslipw...@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 8/5/2010 12:10:05 P.M.

Re: [TANKS] Which Buy is Better?
We can't answer because you haven't specified how they will be wired. Four 6v batteries can imply a 24v system, or a 12v system with two sets of two 6v batteries. I'm going to assume you're talking about a 12v system (because of your second option), and will then assume that option 3 implies two 12v batteries wired in parallel. In that case, option 3 will provide the most run time (with 36 effective amp-hours) (I'm also assuming you mean amp-hours when you say amp). Option 2 comes in second, and Option 1 will give you the shortest run time with 24 effective amp-hours (this is ignoring factors such as how different setups will be affected by the discharge rate being spread over multiple batteries, which could work to even the playing field between options 1 and 2. I still think that for a 12v setup, Option 3 wins On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 1:06 PM, ryan wells rpw...@hotmail.com wrote: Which arrangement will have longer run life for two motors?

Re: [TANKS] Which Buy is Better?
That doesn't sound correct... I'm not familiar with the tri pact electronics, but think of the AH rating of the battery as the capacity. It won't affect the electronics to have a higher AH rating.

Re: [TANKS] Re: Tracks
The plastic is not nearly strong enough; you'd be better off using sheets of 2'x4'x1/4 sand pine plywood at $6.99 apiece from Lowe's or Home Despot.
