powerbrutes steering question
 

hi guys, i am into making micro rc planes with microsizers and clones and had a few questions about powerbrutes. they are 3 channel so they would be great for planes. How big it the pcb compared to a regular car pcb, perhaps a picture? hopefully its not too much bigger. weight is bad for micro planes. also, on the powerbrutes website, it says that the powerbrutes have 2 motors, one for the action claw and one for driving the wheels. does this mean that it has magnet steering, or are there 2 drive motors and it steers like a tank? it doesnt look like the front wheels steer but i could be wrong, in fact i hope i am wrong because the magnet steering would be better for planes. any help would be greatly appriciated. vinny

i don't know about the pc board but you could probably find a picture if you searched

the steering is one motor to drive the back wheels, and the other motor to drive the claw or scoop (depending on which truck you get.) it doesn't have magnets to steer. it turns by turning one wheels faster than the other. hope this helps

Using magnets to move the gears!

thanks. racer9, are you saying that it does sort of have magnet steering? It doesn't matter how it is used in the truck, I just need to have it. that's great. Ill probably buy one soon.

it in no way has magnet steering...i don't know what racer( is talking about. maybe the motor? who knows

It uses magnets to move gears inside to change the ratio and therefore the speed of each wheel.

You can check!

If I am wrong how do they steer?

Both of my Wild's have magnets and 2 coils like a bit, they move the gears to change the speed of either wheel.

Thank you!
