Custom Tank Powertrain help?

hybrid · 07-08-2005

Hello All,

I am looking into building a custom electric powertrain for a tank I am building from scratch. Due to the large size of the model, I will be using 12VDC 1A motors, but I'd like to leverage existing control systems. Can any of you recommend a system that could accomodate such a powertrain?

Thanks in advance!

Hi hybrid welcome to the forum, there are various ways of doing this.electronically or mechanically .

firstly have a look here ..... http://www.huntersystems.co.uk/ for electronic mixers and speed controls
there`s also http://www.astecmodels.co.uk/price_list.php

and www.electronize.co.uk for some more.

tgank control should be relatively easy with teh use of a mixer and speed controls.
