Battle hardening motors

no… with a FocBox, and VESC™
� Tool… I could also check amps with a quad flight controller, but they’re never calibrated…
and I don’t have access to a fluke during quarantine…

or a laser

Surely a laser is findable. Amazon or the hardware store.

fukkit static spin balance will be good enuff… if it proves unacceptable I’ll chase down a laser or other acceptable method of balancing

Average rating:3out of5stars, based onreviews

Not for anything that has any weight to it.

This was affordable, but it doesn’t really hold all that well. For tiny plastics I am sure it is just fine. Anything more than that I wouldn’t really waste my time with. It might just be for small plastic items, but it doesn’t say that in it’s description.

OMG :rofl: :rofl: I’m sure it works just as fine as any other cheap epoxy

I’d actually be curious if anyone’s got a good c-clip remover recommendation. That I skimped out on and am regretting it.

I see 72 reviews and 4.5 stars.

I see no specifications for heat tolerance

I dunno… I copied and pasted the review from the link he posted… :man_shrugging:t4: :man_shrugging:t4:

Maybe a putty would be easier.

I figure a couple of days to get set-up, and a couple of days to cure and set up, and a day to assemble and test… maybe a week

top flite, great planes, they supply hobbyists who work with foam and balsa wings. i’m not sure it’s the best fit for motor rotors

Not yet brother
