Default Re: First build ,cat D11

happy, happy, joy, joy!!! Got motors, sprockets, and chain today!!! These will definitely be strong enough, I think!?! The motors @ 12volts spin 116rpm, I'm planning on gearing down to 40rpm, at least that's where I'm going to be with the sprockets I got. I may change gearing to try and get down to 30rpm. I can also limit with radio too. It would have been nice to just have direct drive to the drive sprocket but running motors at that lower input voltage would be hard on em. Haven't found the best fit, configuration, of motors but just sitting there I may stager them like in the pic. I think I still will have enough room above them for hydraulics , battery (lipo) and controller (thinking saber tooth ) under the hood and drivers area. As I wasn't planning on detailed cab but lightly smoked glass so all that space can be utilized for electronics ect.
