[modeleng] Re: Motor requirements

Hi Tony,

Just for starters how about Chain drive? this does not need rocket science 
to line up and allows for the wheels to float up and down with suspension. 
Speed control should be electronic as this does not waste energy and it 
could be radio controlled. There used to be several circuits around or you 
could use the type used in Radio Contolled boats. A wiper motor should be 
about the right power although a look around on the internet might find you 
a motor with a built in right angle drive which would then enable you to 
install the motor longitudinally with the drive coming out suitable for 
connecting to a axle by the chain drive. Another motor could be a car Heater 
motor but not a Vauxhall one as they are not reversable. Any motor used 
should be a permanent magnet type.

Regards

Clif
