Wild Thumper 6Wd

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hi,

What motor controller should I use with the 6WD Wild Thumper platform?

I bought the 2.5 amp H-bridge board but obviously that's is not going to cut it!

There is a dedicated controller board (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11057) but not sure how one would connect it to ez-robot board?

Has anyone else connect one of these to the ez-robot platform?

Thanks

I also had a question re: the 6WD Wild Thumper. What is the gear ratio on the ones in the store? I know they sell 34:1 and 75:1 and I'm wondering which these are.

75 to 1 , it gives them a higher payload capacity. Its still a quick when you give them some juice. Many use a 7 volt lipo battery but personally I would use a 3s 11.1v lipo because it has a great deal more power. You still control speed with pwm but with the 11.1v 3s lipo you have a lot more acceleration and torque available. ;)

Awesome, thanks. That is what I was hoping for. To my way of thinking, any serious robotic platform should have more load carying capacity as opposed to speed.

mine came in and it is the 34:1 ratio! Just FYI
