Think I made 2 assumptions that were wrong. The incorrect spelling in the link.
The other was royzo's location, hence my recommending Australian supplier.
I later checked royzo's profile, no location listed.
Today I notice a new featherweight entry.
Dar
Team
Everest
(Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal
So I am probably wrong again but if not I am happy to help.
Just wondering what motors your looking for? _________________ Satisfaction is proportional to effort and results.

Royzo is building a 30Kg Indian equivalent to a lightweight. I get the impression he wants to one-up Rust In Peace, a legendary Indian bot

The big problem for all Indian builders is the exchange rate, making internationally sourced parts hugely expensive. The other problem is that none of them trust cheap Chinese sites like Aliexpress - I didn't either until recently _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

An Indian Minotaur lightweight . No problem looks like the shops open. _________________ Satisfaction is proportional to effort and results.

Good find, but the mark-up is huge . The F30-400 motor that Royzo wants to use on the weapon is $415 USD on that site and only $259 USD from the RMP. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Well shipping/import/handling that isn't that unreasonable. Air freight on 4kg for one of those motors would be almost $100USD. _________________ Steven Martin

Can we use e-bike motor controllers for combat robotics because it has built in brake mode.

Most (probably all) robot controllers have braking. An e-bike ESC would be OK but only if it has reverse and can switch from forward to reverse without a delay. The reason we don't often use R/C car ESCs is that they are not really designed to drive backwards and I imagine that e-bike controllers are the same. I would definitely read the manual very carefully before buying one. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion
