a lot of money and custom build Hello, i have a lot of free money and i could start a project which is a few years old just in my head hah.... :twisted::ror: So.... what do you think about 4 wheels independent drive truck for crawling? I had a LEGO when i was a kid and i build a monster truck with 4 attached motors directly to the wheels. Should it work with 1:8 scales? Just imagine - 4 motors attached directly with some reductors to the 4 wheels. Just don`t know will it be OK with the steering cause the steering will be like the rest trucks. Just wanted to know what do you think and should i try it? |

Though I would say a project like this would likely be pretty time consuming and difficult proposition, I could imagine it taking years to fine tune. Have a look at this creation, not a monster truck but the same concept of individual motors. You can also see how challenging this kind of project is. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/super...ea-design.html Most of its pictures aren't displaying right now but the last page has some video. I was imagining something like this the other day with a setting for skid steering so you could just pivot in place. |
Re: a lot of money and custom build OP, What you're describing sounds a lot like a Traxxas Summit, except that doesn't have motors at the wheels. Maybe it could be a starting point? |
Re: a lot of money and custom build Well, i have a very good 3d printer, and a good solid-works friend, who`s gonna draw with motion my project. On the other hand - i am good with the drawnings on graph paper. The whole thing is in my head, just wanted to know if there will be any problem with the steering - i mean, you know, front wheels will spin with the same amount of power.:shock: |
Re: a lot of money and custom build You should take a look at this. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/unlim...ml#post5836332 I know the guy who built it. Cool idea. |
Re: a lot of money and custom build Since it will be like crawler, i think it`s better to put brushed motors. What do you think? I will need sometimes low speed so maybe a brushed 21t motor or bigger T, just dont want to overheat it. |
Re: a lot of money and custom build To figure that out you'll need to figure out your transmissions first. |
Re: a lot of money and custom build No trans, just gear reducer head attached by link to the wheels |

Same difference, its gearing down but how much is the question. |
