Paula 3 Motor Recommendations

<< < (3/3)

Pauli:
Hi Peter,

Due to other things vying for my time I have not yet started building the Paula 3. I have planned a few modification I intend making to the model and have made an inventory of additional items I need to purchase.

To answer your question I plan to use a:

"540 DC Motor (6-12V) NOISE ATTENUATED MFA motor"

and to power this from a 6V 5Ah Sealed lead-acid SLA battery. Both of these are  available from the excellent "componentshop.co.uk".

Unfortunately, I am unable to provide any feedback on this motor/battery choice, but I may do so when the model is completed.

The Paula 3 although a fairly simple design offers a lot of scope for additional features and should be good fun to build.

Good luck if you select this as your next project.  :-))

Kind regards,

Pauli

Hi Pauli,


Thank you for the information. If I do go ahead with a Paula 3 that is the motor I will choose.


I agree that the scope for additional features makes this a very interesting model.


Thanks and regards
Peter
