if i get the motors they might work for my quad copter design
looking for low profile motors
#16  
Alright members , its between Omrisaac and robot maker , who should get the wonderful , new , top of the line equipment :). ? ?
#17  
bought some fiber plastic to very light weight,usinfg EZ board ,gyro,and looking at a way to add a altimeter
#18  
I think im going to put a pnumatic suspension system on my bot for adjustable ride height and stiffness. Im thinkg about having four seperate pnumatic cylnders oberating 4 individual suspension arms for the road wheels and of course its all powered by the brushless system running a small compressor to fill an air tank. Alao i might wire the suspension to an accelerometer, gyro, flex, or other type of sensor for active stabilization. Finally later i might think about making it amphibious some how.

Imrisaac you win man the idea to use a motor to turn a compressor was really the most creative and you already started the project.
#20  
@imrisaac great project,you deserve it,it will be awhile before i need the motors ,have a few projects to finish first,plus busy looking for a bigger house for my robots and my girlfriend moving it,looking at a 5 bedroom house ,one room to design and build my robots

You dive alot? Those are high rpm motors they may not work well in that situation , underwater props have a 6 times more aggressive pitch than regular props so they spin low rpm. Those motors are high amp high power but you don't want to put them in a completely sealed container they need air to pass through them , at least a little just to stay cool.
