I must say that the last month and a half have been very eventful for WheelChair!  For those WheelChair addicts out there, you will want to tune in a little later on.   |

As long as the chair comes to the Comp on Sat, there will be some video of it I am sure. I might have to give my camera to somebody since I am a Judge and can't shoot video myself.

| Updates Soon!
Rockin!  I can not wait to get it!!! Thanks again for getting them to build those beasts JRH! The brushless motors didn't do ANYTHING to my aluminum output gear so I am sure my tranny is up to the task! That last scorpion motor liked to scream high R's so I let her buck @ 14.4v on the steps bouncing all over insano style... It liked it, It was REALLY PISSED OFF and I thought for sure it would break....I was impressed with the power... After 5 mins of full throttle assaults, satisfied that nothing was going to break, I tried to crawl slow. That was the end of the Scorpion. It loved the high speed, but low speed tore it up. The Large Bearing is the Ticket to keep it together The axles... Looking into Titanium CNC axle shafts for the rear cutbrake axle... Might not be able to get my hands on titanium stock though... Most likely the supermaxx 8MM titaniums with the 23mm hubs for the front. Also I will be modifying my front axle to be a high clearance hybrid design. Still tying to find a magic ratio on SuperSteer v4  Currently: Tripple Metal Wormgear Reduction: 121/1 reduction 540 motor/ESC driven One Inch Per Second with unknown amounts of torque!! 1/4" links in rear soon. No more broken jato ends!!! BEEFY METAL DRIVESHAFTS... THAT WON'T BREAK like the revo shafts Its been eatting. By next Fall: Friction Dig: Proportional Drag Brake/Dig Setup. Smooth Operation, Fully Adjustable Shafty Stall. Also Helps with Torque Twist as a bonus!! Next Winter: WheelChair 2.2 Dig, Cut Brake, Winch! Right now we are moving, I don't know when I will have the time to get anything done. Last edited by WheelChair; 05-29-2007 at 02:49 AM. |

Good luck with your move WheelChair and family. Looking forward to seeing a brushless motor the size of a 12oz pop can  Just kidding with ya, I'm curious to see what jrh found for ya. I have the 3013 in my 2.2 and was having serious problems with cogging. But with some radio adjustments and fine tuning on my Mamba it has almost no cogging now. By the way, how much does the Chair weigh? I know it is probably hard for you to find a powerplant that is comparable with other supers because they aren't made to take a hit like the Sherman WheelChair. Power to weight ratio has to be difficult to figure out? Can't wait to see more, when you have the time. Peace, Stew |

The Motor John Rob found for me will be PLENTY of power. Trust me! If I remember right, it is capable of 2.5HP continuous , 3.5HP PeakThats No BS. Capable of 1200 watts. The motor I tested crawled like no other brushless I have seen! Startup is smooth and sweet! When I crack the throttle, everyone is going to know whats up. The Motor Emits a High Pitch Scream that sounds like a super sonic jet or something. Its insane! Sounds like a turbo or something.When I get the motor I will take a video of the sound. Under full load, It sounds like nothing you have ever heard! Spectators might want to bring: Steel toe boots, shin guards, and safety goggles! This thing is going to be ****ing Hostile. Have you ever seen a WheelChair hopped up on Crack? You will soon. On the other side of news, We found a place and it has a nice shop. PatWell Industries?!....... Real World Durability Done Right.

What circuitry did you use to power super steer? From what I can tell you amplified standard servo pwm motor control? Could you explain how you wired it? If you did what Im thinking you did then you could apply the same concept and build a forward/reverse no brake esc capable of being built to power almost any motor with almost any voltage.

It was just a 645 control board running two 645 motors @ 6 volt. It was powerful enough but with plastic gearing it had to be redone. Right now Super Steer is onto version 5, I am waiting on some gearing, but it is run off a forwards/reverse speed control with no brakes. If this version fails there is only one alternative, A Mamba 25 and outrunner from JRH for steering duty with a Lipo pack. Sounds like my brushless motor is STILL a few months out... it will give me time to get other things ready for its power. Out with the revo shafts, in with custom stainless steel slider shafts. The WheelChair is going to be out serving it up soon! | |

I have read through this project with drool at the corner of my mouth! Wheelchair is beastly! I dunno what kind of power you're planning to run through Wheelchair, but take a look a this bad boy. the Cyclon Elite 24 brushless gearhead outrunner. it puts out 1800 watts of power peak and can handle a maximum 80 amp peak current draw. it'll power Wheelchair just fine the Mini Elite Punch (speed 400 equivalent outrunner with a gearhead) could probably throw JIA's Ralph around like a rag doll, and that has the same can size as the outrunner that one might find in a 1:20-1:16 car :blink:

The cyclons dont work for crawling. The low magnet and stator pole count doesnt give them enough torque to start up in a bind.
