Let The Build Begin!

[Trucker47]

Espeefan - Thanks! Im actually just a gr 12 high school student couting the days until grad Hahaha yes it seems they are the cause of many delays, hahaha

So i just got a big part of my hydraulic system.

For the motor i went with a 740KV Thunder Tiger 36 Series Ripper outrunner.




Then i got a E-Flite 60 Amp Pro Brushless ESC:



I also got the ESC's that I will be using for the axle motors, they are Pololu 18v15 Digital Speed Controllers. Have a max output of 30a, input of 30v and are reasonably priced, plus they are small. I just hope that they hold up under the high draw setup.



Now that I have the motor for the pump I designed a belt reduction system using FingerTech Pulleys that will reduce the RPM -2.8x which will increase torque and keep my system pressure constant under load.

The housing





So If everything comes together like it should I hope to be finished to a point where I can hand it in, then over the summer and however long I have the model I can fix gliches, upgrade parts and put all the details on.

Thanks for reading,
Chris
