Question For Power Supply Requirement

Hey guys, I am looking into how to build a bigger servo actuator at the moment... Its nothing like a full blown project at the moment, I am just trying out different methods to drive a bigger sized robot arm!

So one thing I am looking into is using a DC Motor and encoder to get the thing done! So I found out that finding the right Power Supply is not that easy...

So the motor that I want to use is a the following Tarot 4008 MT 330kv TL2955 Brushless Multicopter Motor 6S 85g TL2955, it can be driven by 6 Lipo batteries, but I would rather use a Power Supply... Any recommendations?:)

Wow yeah that’s crazy. Explains why drones batteries get exhausted so quickly. The only brushless motors I’ve played with are the hoverboard wheels. Now mind you they don’t spin that fast! Lol. But they do use a 36 or 48 volt battery and I’m not sure what amps they supply. Enough to move a person 200 pounds a couple miles!

Let us know how your testing goes. Again the thing I like is the ability to have compliant joints..something you don’t get with a gear motor.
