New drills
Dick Smiths are selling a new 18v drill and I love the thing lol
900rpm for a start
To do this it is differnt gears, the gear on the end of the motor is much bigger than on a normal so the motor won't fit past gearboxs
Also all the gears are metal! its true
Same ends as a normal and I fited a blue wheel onto it no problem
Any way it's $30 I'm planning on trying this thing out on 24v in KO wish me luck lol _________________ Team KO

yeah i noticed them a while back. They r same price as ones i have but sounds better, feel better and all round seem to perform far better and far better quality.
If i have weight/money i may get some in orbit for the metal gears/extra speed and shizzle.\
ut yeah if u want 18 volt drills there def top choice. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Er. . . . Dewalt have been owned by Black and Decker for quite a while.

1960 - Alonzo G. Decker, Jr., son of the co-founder and a Black & Decker employee since 1930, succeeded Robert D. Black as president. Mr. Black continued as chairman of the board and chief executive officer. Black & Decker acquired DeWalt, Inc. of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a manufacturer of radial arm saws and other stationary woodworking equipment in the U.S. and Canada.

I just remember someone telling me that the new line of Dewalt was shit because they had been bought out by B&D... Guess that was just the blind leading the blind _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

they are capacitors, used to filter out RF noise from the brushes.
Usually people have to add those to get better radio control performance _________________ The Engine Whisperer

They would have to be supression capacitors if they are wired across the terminals. It's rare to find them on drills and I would leave them on to reduce radio interference. Does this mean there is a new bot coming from Team Funnelweb?
