Ben Meissner I’m using a roboclaw 2x30a motor controller. Two 180 rpm 12v worm gear motors (the kind of motors for power seats in cars) and I’m using the Flysky FS-I6s controller. I should mention that I can use smaller motors like the ones I’m using because my build is a lot lighter than other Wall-E build. Mine doesn’t have a steel drive system. It also has a styrene body. So depending on yours and what it’s made out of. This setup might not be strong enough. I have 2 other videos detailing my entire build. You should watch them to see more.
I'm getting started on my Wall-E build and have decided I want to use your track drive system. Can you let me know where is the best place to get started? Interested mostly in the tracks themselves and the inner wheel gear.
The track is a conveyor track that I got on eBay. I can’t send a link because I got it over 3 years ago and eBay only lets me see purchases from 3 years ago and more recent. But search “conveyor track” on the Wall-E Facebook page to maybe see some links others have used. The sprocket for that conveyor system is on the forum site in the files site. I will say though, I’ve moved on from this drive system. It had a lot of limitations, mostly with power and torque. Would stall out if there was too much amp draw when it met resistance. Like spinning or turning on carpet or rough floors, etc…
I am working on my own Wall-E but I'm having a hard time figuring out some of the electronics... What receiver, esc, and motors are you using?
