RD30 Build - Motor install on Big Geek!

Published: Sat Jun 09 2012


To start I had to drill my own motor mounding holes in the plates

Becuase I chose to wire the motors throught the arms, it was challenging to line up the motors

Using a couple tools from the bench I align the main holes for the arm mount, and at the same time, clear a path through the wires for the bolts.

Checking the motor bell housing clearance

checking again

Super. 

The arm is ready, now to solder up some more motors.

Had to resolder the motors, as they were from a used quad I bought for parts.

4 arms ready to go

Arms in place, to test out how and where the PDB will go.

Thats it for today.
