Which drive motors?
I am in the initial stages of the build of my first bot. Planning on sportsman class, probably open due to my planned weapon speed.
Reading back through the forums, it seems Kmart cordless drills are, or were, the best for drive motors. Is this still the case? There seems to be a much greater availability of 18V drills than 12V. Is the 12 V more preferable, or can you get 18V RC battery packs? If I go 18V, then it will have to be 3, one for weapon drive.
Price wise between the 3 brands I have found in town seems fairly compatable, around the $35 to $39 each, for Kmart, Ozito, or another brand from Bunnings, something like 101. Yet to check places like Supercheap. Also the local tip shop isn't much use. I also have to go the whole hog with all the RC gear.
Bot is based on a push hand mower, rotating drum, 2 wheel drive, bearing castors, will run max weight, so hopefully some decent armour.
Cheers for the advice and help.
