Question Regarding 50:1 Motors

Hi All,
I've got two 50:1 motors for my antweight and some Lego wheels to accompany them, the inner diameter of these wheels is too wide to fit snugly onto the axles of each motor.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to give the wheels a tighter fit?
Thanks.

Re: Das Mikro - £12 dual channel speed controller with mixing

To clarify, on one of the two "3 pin plugs" which connect from motors to ESC to receiver, do I need to cut the negative wire?
Please can you explain this in layman's terms?
Which wires need cutting from the two which connect the receive to esc and motors?

Re: Das Mikro - £12 dual channel speed controller with mixing

Hi Mike The extra wire with socket is superfluous. Probably there in case you need a feed wire from battery, etc. A couple of notes .. I think they are capacitors rather than resistors. I suggest that you remove/eliminate the brown and red wires from ONE OF the plugs going to the receiver, as they ...

There appears to be three variations of this ESC, which would you reccommend and which resistors do you think would work best?
Thanks.

Opinions on the DasMikro 2S6A ESC

Hi Roboteers!
What is your opinion on this ESC and does have a built in BEC or a way of stepping down the voltage from my 7.4V LiPo?
Thanks.

Re: "Sioc" Build Diary

Do you have an ESC connected to the motors or is it plugged directly into the receiver?

Re: Seismic Robot Build Diary [First Time Builder]

As Gary says M2 and M2.5 are the most common sizes of machine screw I use but recently I have obtained some small self tappers. Machine screws sizes are easy M2 screws are 2mm dia thread etc but I wasn't aware of the size of the self tappers. In the picture you can see machine screws M1.6, M2 and M...

Re: Seismic Robot Build Diary [First Time Builder]

You could use 3mm polycarbonate for the base, but it will almost certainly be too heavy if you make the entire robot from 3mm. Most people tend to use 1mm or 1.5mm as it is fairly easy to bend and a reasonable compromise between weight and strength. Most people use Pololu (or equivalent) 10mm gear ...

I have created a pusher/flipper design in Google Sketchup and transferred it over to Pepakura Designer 3 to print of templates, here is w...
