[TANKS] Re: getting close
so what would the difference between the 450w and the 350w be preformance wise? would it move more quickly and have a higher torque instead of trading off? and what would the strain difference be on the controllers? -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Re: [TANKS] Re: getting close
With the 350W motors, I was able to sit on the Sturmtiger and it was still able to do neutral turns on pavement. It weighs about 120lbs. and I'm about 180. It handled the 300lbs. no problem.

Re: [TANKS] Re: getting close
Just a word of caution...I'm using the IFI Victor ESCs rated at 60A for my 350W geared M01 motors. Probably the same type of motor you are using. I had a 30A fuse on the motors inline and I did blow that fuse once on the Sturmtiger when I pushed the tracks into a stall and kept gunning the motors to free the tank from a ditch. If you fuse the motors, you shouldn't have a problem using the RDFR. I have an RDFR38E that I use in my M113 with 450W motors, but that is an 80A/channel controller and discontinued. Those motors are overkill for the M113 so I may move them to one of my heavier tanks and put the 350W motors in the M113. Derek On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 8:40 PM, cirdna wrote: > > AR.

[TANKS] Re: getting close
the motors are 24v 24a and the rdfr is rated at 30v and 30a just wondering with the 2 450w motors, if the controller is going to be safe. i have alot of room in the tank and if i dont have enough room i will make some. so i can go as big as i want as long as weight restricts the speed of the vehicle. the tank itself is already built it just needs the important components to make the damn thing run it already weighs upwards of 70lbs so weight is a problem especially without the motors and the batteries the 2 most massive parts. so probably mid hundreds or thereabouts. yes i am talking about a a motor that requires 450w 24v 24a or at least that is what the site said so im basing it off of that. any help would be appreciated especially when it comes to batteries due to the fact that the improper batterie could fry the whole operation... -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Hi Cirdna I wouldn't have thought you want a 250W motor for a turret traverse. We usually use drill motors which are around 10-20W. 250W would almost power the traverse on a full-size tank! As regards the batteries, are your motors 24 volts x 18 amps, or 18V x 24A? Assuming it is the former, a 24V 18ah(amp-hour) SLA battery will run 2 of them continuously for 1/2 hour. In practice it is less but there again you are not running the tank constantly. If you can squeeze in a 30ah battery that would be better. What sort of tank are you planning to build? How much will it weigh? Phil P -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
