    Hello there,

    After some time researching and compiling information, I would now like to get started.

    My material that I will use:
    H-Bridge (Can´t Add links yet)
    Sensors (Can´t Add links yet)

    Material I will most likely use:
    Power supply (Can´t Add links yet)

    I found these motors, (not ordered yet) unfortunately i can't find the power in watts, does anyone have experience with these motors?
    What current do they need? Unfortunately I can't find anything.

    Motor picture:

    Many thanks in advance.

    If a search fails to find the specifications you may need to try emailing the manufacturer.

    The motors should be powerful enough for a range of rig designs, it really depends on how easy the brakes are disabled.

    Thank you very much.

    Most of the used motors here are between 250-350W or?

    That range should suit most sensible designs.

    Now that I'm allowed to post links, here's my list of components:
    - 2x motors (left and right)
    - 2x H-bridge 100A
    - 1x H-bridge 43A
    - 3x Hall sensor

    A "Eurobox" is to serve as the control cabinet.
    Here is my plan, sorry it is in German.

    Since the motor needs less power for the yaw movements, which one can you recommend? A cordless screwdriver motor? Or something more powerful?

    Thank you
