For my Highschool physics class we are building battlebots using mostly RC car parts. My teams plan calls for a bot that pushes other bots like a bulldozer and for this we need to optimize our torque and not our speed from our electric motors. How should I go about doing this? Any advice is welcomed.

Thank you

Look into a titan 550, the stock e-maxx motor, it should deliver the torque you need. It can be found [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXXF54&P=ML]here[/link]. Dual motor setups really deliver alot of torque, but this would be pretty good for a single motor setup as well.

I would use 2 f those, even if you dont you can still get alot of torque by gearing it to create massiveamounts of torque.

To get more torque would you therefore under or overgear?

undergear

Okay, that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Overgearing would allow faster top end at the expense of torque, right?

ye i think it would


you need some BIG CHUNKY tyres with lots of grip too
