Just dismantled a childrens electric scooter made by Famosa. I've recovered the drive motor and battery.
The Motor is marked up as RS-550SF-6035 and I've looked this up on a site selling Mabuchi dc motors and it's listed as having:
Rated Voltage 12, Voltage range 6-18, Current 6.49(A), Speed 14200 (RPM), Torque 450 (g-cm), Power 57.76 (W). It has a shft diameter of 3.17mm. and has a drive cog attached (I've also kept the somewhat large set of plastic gears in their casing also)
The battery is branded with the Famosa logo and is marked up 6-12 (6Volt 12Ah).
My question to you mayhemers is: What size model could I use this motor / battery in and what speed controller should I use. I'm interested in building a springer tug as a first scratch build. Would this motor be too powerfull or should I just scale up the plan and use a larger prop ????
(You're right, I havent a clue what I'm doingbut I have the above an supply of building materials)
