Re: [4334] Research Project

Alright. Everyone has had a few minutes to begin their research, so I’m going to help out anybody who is struggling. Here are the options I would suggest researching for each topic (if you already have something you like, feel free to use that instead):

• Speed controllers:
o Talon, Jaguar, Victor 884, Victor 888

• Chain vs Belt
o Chain, Belt (Easy, no?)

• Gearboxes
o Banebot Planetary, Andymark standard (Spur), Andymark Shifting (Spur + shifting)

• Structural Materials
o 80/20, Aluminum tubing, sheet metal

• Wheels
o Kit wheel, Plaction tires, Colson wheels + WCP hubs, Pnuematic tires

That’s all for now. Keep on researching!
- Alex
