- Dear Netters:
-
- I am trying to drive a basic rc electric motor,
- Kyosho 24 degree timing, 27 turn motor.
-
- First of all:
-
- Is this some kind of stepper motor?
-
- How much countinous current can this motor take (aprox.)?
-
- What is the 24 degree timing specification?
-
- Do I have to be concerned with timing when designing
- a speed controller?
-
- I want to make someting SIMPLE, can I just use a variable
- resistor for a speed controller? Note, effeciancy is NOT
- important.
-
- Why are some speed controllers rated at 100+ amps continous?
- I can't imagine an 8.4V Nicad package delivering this kind
- of power. I can see that 100+ amps can be present when the
- motor is turned on and off. What am I overlooking?
-
- What does freq. have to do with speed controllers? Do they
- convert the 8.4vdc to xxx volt ac? Therefore, can I drive
- this motor with a direct dc source or must I convert?
-
-
- Thanks for any help you can provide. I am in a strange
- university contest and am supplied with this motor.
