Ironman Motorised Faceplate Idea

[zabana]

I´m working on a new helmet, better and more accurate, and want to do it "full" so if people want to can buy it, but it needs time yet

Have you tried any of these ?
They are power full enough to break themselfs loose form a Carbon fiber chassi.

As I told before and always said, problem is torque, small servos aren´t powerfull enough. As a rc plane flyer I know perfectly servos and their capabilities.

If you can find a micro servo with 3 or 4 real kilos of torque show me. Anyway servos I´m using are not a lot of bigger than Hitecs 1.8 or 2 kilos, so I prefer 10kilos of torque

And an arduino as controller is cheaper than a transmitter and receiver.

Anyway, this kind of job is always trial and error...

I dont know what you flying ppl use in park flyers.
But we in RC car industry like to have lots of torque. Regular servo size in have like 5+ kilos as long as you get the MG version.
Micro sized you get about 2-3 Kilos again stick to MG version Metal Gear.

Battery wise u will need 6v or u can use a 7.4 volt with a BEC converter.

And yes i am fully aware of servos, these are the ones i am looking at that we comonly use in Car RCs

I already knew these servos too, but they usually are about 30x16x30 and a maximum of about 3 or 4kg. So I do prefer my servo , because is 41x20x43 and 10kg torque. I used firstly futaba´s one, they are only 3 kilos and they were in the limit...

Also I want to tell I´m not a kind of Master or such, I only said what it´s better IMHO, if anyone could do with smaller servos would great and love to see, but to expend a lot of money in pieces is not something I can afford so the stronger the better

As battery I´m using LiPo´s 11.1V and 2100mAh, with a 5v 3A bec, so it´s small and powerfull enough to feed all the system

And finally I fly planes and helis, not drive RC cars, so servos needed for cars are a lot of different than the planes ones, weight matters a lot in flying things.

ok im new to this all and i have 2 weeks into my build of iron man helmet and im looking into lots of things hinging it being first and i read ALL of the pages and i am REALLY confused i dont know what to do and how all of these things work any help PLZ
