Re: *gear reduction unit
I use the Integy 4:1 and it requires no modification. It is about $40.

Donny,
Go w/ a GD-600 if your looking to control cost. http://cgi.ebay.com/Great-Planes-Ele...#ht_1245wt_741 Mount it to your motor, and and file the shaft down to accept a gear and you're set. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...l/gd600006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...l/gd600005.jpg |
Re: *gear reduction unit
You can also go with a 55 turn motor and a 6 tooth pnion for less money it comes out to be the same rpm's at the out put on the tranny in 1st gear as any 4 to 1 with a stock 550 can motor. Also RC4WD makes a 2 to 1 up to a 5 to 1 for the clodbuster I have taken this and mounted the motor backwards in my black tri axle they are all alum and cheep. With the GD600 you can also mount it on the out put of the tranny Idid that on my Hay Hauler this takes the stress of the load off the tranny by mounting it on the output.

Re: *gear reduction unit
One thing not mentioned with the GD600 is that you have to either raise the tranny up by about .125" or lower your steering and shifting servos that amount or any combination of that. I have used both the GD600 and the Integy GRU. I like the metal case of the Integy but not the "noise" from it. Also the Integy is easier to mount than the GD600. Kind of a toss up as to which one is the best to me.

Re: *gear reduction unit

Re: *gear reduction unit
Unless you are set on having more than a single speed, I use gearmotors like this one.
In my Wedico http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...rombottom1.jpg And one in my Tamiya http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...Picture395.jpg Extremely small, powerful, and quiet. And cheap !! |

I suppose you could figure it out mathematically to see what works best for you. I can't do it like that. I'm one of those "feel good" guys. If it feels good, go for it!! Trial and error is my best friend |
Re: *gear reduction unit
Thanks rick , yea I'll sit and do the math or do t&e depends on who of the 2 of me wakes up in the morn :p .

I find my trks have a good combo of both power & speed with dual Beuhlers, tam trans in 2nd and I have an additional 6.2 reduction within the twin motor coupler & tam transfer case. I forget exactly what the stock reduction is in 2nd with drive axles (17:1?)... total reduction is approx 105:1 with motors running around 5000rpm. What rpm is the 55 turn 12v Novak motor? |
Re: *gear reduction unit
Joe we put 5 55turn motors on my dyno and they ranged from 4800-5900 rpm. Instead of running the dyno with a 12 power supply and regulating the dyno to 7.2v we ran the dyno with 2 of my good NiMH 7.2v batteries which give a better reading. We ran all 5 motors on one battery and then did it again with the other battery. The 12v power supply is fine to break in a motor but using a battery pack will give you a better reading of the motor this is how we used to do it for our race cars.

Re: *gear reduction unit
The big grippers I'm running are a bit taller than the stock tams of 83mm and I use the 12 tooth plastic pinion, that comes with wdc motors, on the output shaft from the twin motor coupler into the tam trans... the final drive output is somewheres around 50 rpm at the drive axle... and you're talking having ten times that with your wdc? That seems pretty quick for a heavy haul tractor.
The white tractor in my vids is usually running around in 2nd. I rarely ever use 1st. And flip into 3rd running empty, which is a bit faster than walking. |
