Hi Guys,
i`m currently building a tracked vehicle. I used Aluminium Profiles for the Base und the Lynxmotion Tracks. So far everything works.
Now i want to motorize the vehicle. In general its weight is 5kg. But i calculate with a lot more, just to be flexible with the future. lets say 15kg in total.

In the picture look at the black chain gears. this is where i need the 2 motors. One on each side.

Could you give me a hint which motor has enough torque and speed for the vehicle? It would be great to have an output shaft of 5 or 6mm, to get my lynxmotion couplers.

Thanks in advance, marcel

Hello @nky ,

Welcome to RobotShop community.

You can use this tool to help you determine the characteristics of the motors you would need:

It would be recommended to use a geared motor for higher torque and there are plenty of 6mm shaft gear motors on the website.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Sincerely,
