After looking at the option I.rather cast two gears and attach them to servo.horns and.use servos to.drive.the robot. I believe it will also make less noise too. I believe I would do 4wd , one servo for each wheel. Lucky me I can get drive servos later on lol. Tommorow I get to bondo the sides of risers and do some sanding. Well I correct myself , I must drill mounting holes first to ensure everything cannot move then do bondo lol , I've considered using a couple hsr 5995tg servos because those guys are monsters. , or maybe those pololu power gf 240 oz in servos would work fine? I guess due to this being my first robot.I don't.know the torque figure I should shoot for with a 50 pound bot.

Thanks Sam , those are not strong enough

I think you'd be surprised at how strong they are but you could also use two. They are pretty compact.

i thought the gear box would not work,why not the design i use (tracks design) it hold a lot more then 70 lbs with 4 high torque motors

Boy it sucks to run into drive issues this late in the build. I feel your pain. What about using gear motors? They have a gear head attached and are super high torque. Plus you can run them off your motor controller. One motor with gearhead for each drive wheel.

sorry, josh. That is a heartache. But, don't give up. Jarvis will be up and running in now time.

Hang in there.
