1/4 scale Leopard tank
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2024 9:04 pm
Juts looking for some input or advice on this new build. I have a urge to build something bigger than 1/6 scale so going to try a Leopard or Type 10 1/4 scale. In terms of drive I was going to use two 500w wheel chair motors which could give me about 8mph through their gear boxes and massess of torque. If I wanted more speed what would be the best way to go?
1. Motors in board and drive through a chain to the drive sprockets.What size motors would I need?
2. Run the 24v wheelchair motors at 36v?
3 Another idea.
I dont want lots of speed 10-15mph but want to keep the torque.
What do others use in terms of drive to larger 1/4 scale?
Thanks Mark
