[TANKS] Re: 1:6 all up weight?
Hey Clark... So I don't have to reinforce the floor or the sides of the hull, rust looks good thru paint, and I just have to have five or six 4x8 sheets of 5/32 and about the same of 1/16th.

Thanks Chrys, here is the link. http://banebots.com/pc/MOTOR-BRUSH/M4-R0062-12 I did a modification to these motors as I was planning on running them at 24 volts and these already spin twice as fast as a scooter motor at 12 volts. I opened them up, replaced the 2 bushes with ball bearings and inserted a thin washer to tighten up the assembly a little. I made a face plate to join them with the head of an angle grinder, the end result was a No load Amp rating of about 1.5 with the first stage reduction included so was really happy with that result, the data states 2.7 out of the box. You do need a bigger reduction than normal with these, that's why I had to go to the pain of making a 3 stage transmission. They are similar in size to 100- 125 watt scooter motors George On 22/12/09 4:43 PM, Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos xchr...@otenet.gr wrote: Great tank and great video, George! Congrats!

Re: [TANKS] Re: 1:6 all up weight?
I weighed the KV-2 hull which included the drive train, motors, and front sprockets/shafts yesterday. It weighed in at 75lbs. Add 26lbs. for batteries, 15lbs. for the turret and innards, another 26lbs. for tracks, and like another 15lbs. for wheels/hardware should put it up in the 150lb. range.

Re: [TANKS] Re: 1:6 all up weight?
Since I have PVC left over, I was going to rebuild the hull of my M113 out of PVC. Although the whole thing will probably be 1/2 PVC due to the fact that's all I have left. It will increase the weight somewhat, but the 450W motors are more than up the task to power it. I should get the scale out and see what the KV-2 is weighing at this point. I'm putting the new metal lathe to work turning the sprocket hubs down to decrease weight and add some detail to the face of them.

Nice work as always. Any pics of your camera boom to get such nice shots?

Although the whole thing will probably be 1/2 PVC due to the fact that's all I have left. It will increase the weight somewhat, but the 450W motors are more than up the task to power it. I should get the scale out and see what the KV-2 is weighing at this point. I'm putting the new metal lathe to work turning the sprocket hubs down to decrease weight and add some detail to the face of them.
