Source for Wild Thumper Motors, Parts and Top Plate

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a source for the individual components used in the “Wild Thumper” 6wd chassis? I would like to acquire another top plate and possibly some of the other aluminum chassis parts.

Another question that I have is about the Motors with built-in shaft encoders for the Wild Thumper-- are these available in the 75:1 gear ratio? Will they fit the Wild Thumper chassis? I don’t mind if I have to make something electronically to interface them, but will they fit mechanically? Is there a source for them?

Thanks

John

Cool, but what about the Motors?

Cool, thanks OddBot! That was an incredibly fast response! But what about the 75:1 gear Motors with the built-in Shaft Encoders, will they work with the Wild Thumper chassis? If so, can the motors be retrofitted or do I need to purchase new motors with the encoders already assembled?

Contacted Lois at Dagu - No Reply

Hi Oddbot,

Do you have any idea how long it takes Lois from Dagu to respond to email inquiries? It’s been a couple of days now and I haven’t heard anything back from her…

T’Rex Robot Controller Discontinued ???
Hi Oddbot,

Has this board been discontinued? I can’t seem to find it in stock anywhere. Everybody has it listed as “Unavailable, Unknown Restock Date”. If so, why has it been discontinued? And is there another board that is coming out to replace it?

Thanks John
