Bez's MGM Powered 5ive

I'm assuming they have a large cost associated with them?

 

 

Not if you find a good used servo and build the mount yourself 

[Tug]

I'm not gonna go searching, I'm gonna ask for the specs on that servo so that the hundreds of people reading this thread can drool over the numbers right here.

So, what are the specs on that servo? (Including price from new!)

Have started trying to choose a more efficient motor for it yet?

[Rover Man]

 10.5 N?m(107.7kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 8.4V

  9.6 N?m(92.4kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 7.2V

  7.5 N?m(77.0kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 6.0V

  6.0 N?m(61.6kg-cm) in stall torque at Input Voltage 4.8V

 

 

Price wise the servo can be found for around

[Tug]

Those numbers are bonkers! They're seriously close to "careful, it will break your arm!" territory!

The price wouldn't bother me, for years I've appreciated that decent servos cost decent money. Buy expensive, buy once.

Cheers, RM.

They are very good. the one Bez as is 8 years old and i got it second hand lol. Rebuilds are easy as Ian Oddie still services them and can make them faster at the cost of a bit less torque .

 

You only ever buy one tonnie   but i have 2

OK, I've got to ask, why's it called "The Tonnie"? Because of the 100kg?

I knew I'd seen one recently! Couldn't remember where.

There's now a waterproof version, I believe.

Yea I see that WP one the other day, not like I'm planning to get a

[froggy8]

wow, 300 quid for a servo! that is mad!

Not really when you have a

im used to little brushless and nitro cars lol

Right, back on topic.

Bez, plans for keeping dust and grass blades from the expensive leccy bits? Hemistorm Penta shell? Carrier bag?

i have to disagree its certainly not cheap!! a lot of stuff in this hobby is grossly overpriced, but if you can afford it you bite the bullet and pull the trigger!

if i think about my investments i shudder, but im happy so i carry on and bulid more shelves!!!

[-BEZ-]

Could always be worse sean, It could be robotics lol .......... reminds me of another project I want to get my teeth into lol

 

The longer you are into this hobby you learn the lesson of buy cheap buy twice (or at least twice lol). 

 

Tug: So far I've had no problem with debris near the open parts on the motor, MGM said its fine as long as you don't run on sand. At this moment in time I'm going to leave it will have a rummage about and see if I have any old outerwears material that I can use and perhaps cnc/print some kind of clamp to hold it in place

[Tug]

Sand is a killer, but so much fun to drive on. Challenger 2 struggled, but rubber skirts solved that!

That servos insane. At the end of the video it looks like the tyres have chewed the carpet up!

[.AJ.]

It left behind some rubber behind, but the carpet survived
