Default Re: First build ,cat D11


Got these motors with a reduction gearbox. These were the alternative to the other bigger higher speed 116rpm motors that would require gearing down. Just got them in mail today and I believe these will be better suited. Will still have to install them off set but direct drive, not having to mess with chain and sprockets.

I pulled the gearboxes apart so I can make new shafts to suit my needs. I'm planning on using a locking pin in the 1/2" shaft with a flange nut on the end to secure the sprocket drive. Bronze bearing in the motor housing but what can I expect for fairly inexpensive motors with gearboxes. The rpm is 23 or 30 I forget without looking but think 23 will be fine. Right??? Not planning on full speed travel often and I always like to keep things like this slow and sturdy.
