Hello. I hope this havent been posted here before :)
When 1 XL-motor is not enough, use 2, or 3, or 4 and so on.
I have stopped using XL-motors. They are too slow. I use buggymotors instead or just a 540 size brushed crawler motor.
Axial got 3 types of brushed motors. 20turn, 27turn and 55turn. The price is a lot lower than buying a Lego motor compared to the torque and speed.
I chose to use the 27turn.
The width of the mounting holes for 3mm screws fits perfectly with theese 2 cross blocks 2x1.
The pinion have 12 tooth. With a 36 tooth Lego gear, I get 3:1 ratio
This works great in the right truck. I dont think its very wise to use a lot of u-joints and cv-joints. Theese even break when using xl-motor.
For steering. I use a 9 grams servo hooked up to a PF-switch. Like this pic below.
I hope this can entertain you guys and gurls on the forum.
Let there be questions :D
