Thanks guys for helping out, here's the first prototype: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3dJZ5m
Probably going to change quite a few things for v2 (adding a reduction gear is definitely on the list!)
Oh ignore that grey box at the end of the motor, it's just there to represent the volume that these connectors take up.
I was just thinking of squeezing the motor inbetween a couple bits of plastic, tightened with screws, and maybe wrapped with some insulation tape for better grip. But if that...
Yeah thought about that, but running out of space already. The center "trench" is going to be filled with batteries and electronics. + it already has "axels" running through it. Technically I could mount the engine much higher, but I want to print a body for it later, and that might cause...
Ah I guess that might work. Combined with a smaller pinion and a proper mount.
As for battery voltage. I really don't trust myself not to burn / destroy something. So probably gonna leave that alone.
Thanks! a couple of people pointed out a smaller pinion, so will definitely give that a go.
I've got this transmitter with a receiver that it came with. Not sure if it's possible to cap throttle with it, but will google around...
I have no idea about the ESC settings, I got this one. Doesn't really look like it could have any type of tweakability, certainly no way to connect it to a PC.
I'll check out the 380 size motors though, thanks :)
