It's looking nice!!

Can you give dimensions of theses??? I got M01 Motor on my SU-76 but these 
motors look nice for futur project...!! 

And if possible more picks of them with the dimension of each step of gearing 
to see if it can fit directly on some drive wheels...
 
Thank you

BREAKING NEWS<

We have 
just received this report from our chief spy C S after sending him on 

a mission to 
investigate some strange sawing noises coming from the S.C.C's headquarters.

 

 General Goopinstopen,

 

Upon reaching the designated investigation point, I immediately found two 
guards in front of the gate.  I figured that this could be troublesome to me, 
but fortunately, they asked me if I was the chief inspector.  Thinking this 
would be an easy way inside, I answered affirmatively.  After making my way 
into the building, I saw Joshua S  bending over a scroll saw cutting a very 
large piece of wood.  Trying not to bring too much attention to myself, I just 
stayed in the doorway and proceeded to watch with fascination.  After he 
completed, he turned around and saw me.

 

   "Ahh, inspector, I've been waiting for you to arrive."  

 

   "Oh, sorry for being late, now what is it that you wanted me for?" 

 

   "Well you see, after the last battle I decided that I needed to be able to 
move around the battlefield.  My lack of mobility caused me to miss some very 
good shots." 

 

   "Ahh I see!" I replied.  

 

   "So, I decided to build a vehicle so I can maneuver around the battlefield." 

 

In an effort to complete my mission, I asked him what vehicle he had decided to 
build.  

 

   "The vehicle that I have selected to lead our forces into battle is one that 
has not been built yet.  It will have the mobility of a tank, but the speed of 
a truck." 

 

   "Ok, I understand that, but what ARE you building?"  

 

   "This most wonderful and stupendous vehicle will be a M3 Halftrack!" 

  

After that, he showed me the piece of wood he had been cutting when I came in.  
I then could see the resemblance.  

He then went on about what different components he was going to use, etc.  When 
he wasn't looking, I snapped this photo of the vehicle for you.

   

 

 

I hope that this vehicle will not be as bad as he says, Sir, but we should 
definitely keep a close eye on that building.

 

Your humble servant,

C S

Re: [TANKS] Re: AMX13

['Mike Mangus' via R/C Tank Combat]

Nice find Steve.  I would have used those in the s-tank.
The S-tank starter motor setup did work, but the rpm was 400% more than needed. 
 To slow the tank down, I had to run the motors on 12v and at 20 - 25% 
throttle.  That made the motors work inefficiently hard and build up huge 
amounts of heat.  By the end of the last battle, the motors overheated.
 My fix is to eventually tank the starter motors apart, check the shaft size, 
and buy some large sized outrunners with more appropriate rpm per volts as well 
as for 24v operation.

FYI on those ATV starter motors.  If I recall Mike burned one or two of 
them out that weekend he battled.  Their cheap enough so get a spare set. 
 You may want to investigate ways to open the motor casing up for venting. 
 Also be aware that the motors are probably case grounded so you'll want to 
address that.

[TANKS] AMX13

[srwh74rn]

Been kicking (or moving) this project around the work shed for a long 
while. No actual progress beyond figuring out the curved hull front, until 
now. In the past week I have managed to get the suspension swing arm design 
to where I am happy with it and get 10 of them welded. I have also bought 
and received the motors for the project.  I went with the ATV starter 
motors (thanks Mike Mangus for the idea) that i saw used on the S-tank 
T-081. I plan to use the same type of linear actuator to raise and lower 
the articulated turret (crazy French). The suspension will use the same 
type as T-044. I found some heavy duty lock collars that fit a 1/4 bolt 
through the side (lock). I also think I have figured out the potential 
paintball feed issues with the articulated turret, more on that once mocked 
up.
