I am looking for a way to use my 2 channel RC Radio/receiver with Lego Motors

I am building a tank and think it would be much easier to control this way

does anyone know how to control lego motors with a receiver?

I dont want to get into RCS or Mindstorms stuff.

About the only thing I could suggest is buying regular speed
controllers.  You should be able to get some electronic ones that can
plug right into the receiver.

You mean take a regular Electronic Speed control thats usually
powered by a 7.2
Nimh Pack and wire it into the standard Lego Motor? I wonder if it would work
or burn out the motor. those batteries have alot of juice


Yes.  That's what I'm suggesting.  I doubt it would cause any problem
to power the 9v motors with 7.2v batteries.  (but I could be wrong)

Steve

It wouldn't cause any problem. I use 6 AA NiMH batteries to power 9V Lego motors
all the time without any ill effects. This includes the NXT motors, the RC Buggy
motor, and the RC Trains motor. Both through the NXT brick and using a normal
Lego battery box.
