Just checking to see if anybody has successfully replaced the motors on the Dagu Rover 5 Tracked Chassis with something more powerful.
I was happy with the “Lunar Rover” I built on this chassis, but I needed the full clearance for yard navigation and this caused the treads to come off during turns. Replacing the treads with Dagu Wild Thumper Wheels offered far better speed and clearance, but unfortunately the turn radius is slow and pained on hard surfaces and non-existant on grass due to high angular friction on the back wheels during differential steering. My hope is that by replacing the stock 2WD motors with four beefier Pololu wheels I will be able to perform differential turning again.
