[TANKS] 24v to 36v

2011-05-14 Thread Guy Gregoire

Hi guys,
 
I am actually using 24v wheelchair motors in my tank and wonder if I can add 
one battery to run them on 36v.
My ESC can handle 36v, and there is no such thing as to much power right?  What 
do you think?
 
Guy

Re: [TANKS] 24v to 36v

2011-05-14 Thread Derek Engelhaupt
Some motors can handle being over-volted, some can't.  If you can find a
model number of the motor you can do a Google search to see if anyone has
over-volted it.  Otherwise, it may work or it may burn your motors out.  If
it works you will get more RPM's and more torque at less amp draw.

Welcome aboard Jacob. A Bulldog is a good choice but I might* be a
little bit biased. :-)

Jacob says he wants a Chaffee, I said I wanted a Bulldog for my next
tank. Our town has one sitting next to the old VFW and Post Office, so
I can scale down from the real thing rather than scale up from a
model. :)  I have always liked your M41 Fred.

2011-05-14 Thread Cobra
Beware using the Sabertooth products. History has shown they will fail
when used in tanks. Just ask the Brits.

As for what batteries, Get 2 of what ever size (amp hours) will fit
within your tank and/or wieght limit. Sealed Lead Batteries are most
commonly used. I will be using a pair of 12v 26ah to run my 24v 350w
motors.

Speaking of motors, I came across these recently. They might be good for a
small, lighter vehicle.
