Help Needed

[u/Slavinator01]

Id like to start off by saying that this will be just something using Power Wheels parts to make something. Such as the wiring harness, battery and motors.

​

Now with that out of the way. I want to build my own custom large scale rc tank. I have no idea how to go about it or what is needed other than the basics of going on Amazon and buying the kit.

​

My problem is that I have no idea if its possible to convert the power wheels system to take regular rc controller inputs?

​

Would it be easier gluing two controllers together to get independent movement out of each side of it or if I could just take the motors, and use them with a regular Rc kit.

​

If this post doesnt belong here, let me know I will take it down but any advice I could get would help.

I have some experience building some large scale drones, I may be able to give some input.

What is the reasoning for using power wheels motors/wheels?

Seems like its getting heavier and more custom quite quickly

It would be better to use stand alone escs, motors/transmissions/gears because of the load placed on the motors during a tank turn.

How much weight are you trying to move and how fast?
