Radio Control Highway 61 1/16 Ford V3000s

[FV432]

found this from techno-bots online http://www.technobotsonline.com/tamiya- ... arbox.html

i do like the 12 speed one though http://proto-pic.co.uk/mini-motor-multi ... iya-70190/

The twelve speed is a very small gear box I am using it for a RC conversion of a 1/15 Motor cycle and sidecar

Very nicely done there Gizmo! How's the performance with that Mabuchi FA-130 motor, being that it's rated at 1.5-3 Volts and you seem to what appears to have it hooked up to a 6 pack of "C" batteries?

Any in-line suppression to the motor to help it last longer and not to SCREAM the bearings and brushes right out of the can?


Are there anymore pics of it? You got my curiosity going seeing since I will not be building the truck I was planning on, but maybe one of these?

The motor is the same size as those on tamiya recoil units etc I put a metre across those and found they were running at close to 7.v volt. I had some spare motors so I changed the 3 v motor for a tamiya one.
I have only run it on flat ground, but I selected a slower speed from the gearbox ratios it seems to have sufficient torque.

I have got more photo's but they are on my computer in the Uk and I am not home there for another two weeks

Aaaah, so it's not the stock motor that comes with the gearbox. I didn't think it was. Good thing for others that I pointed that out.
