another one my dumbass ideas on fixing something that isn’t broke but I fear with the way I ride it could break pretty quickly

I want to Drill out the m4 threads in my hobbywing motors and drill / tap to m5 Which is going to end horribly or great Ill let you guys know

going to have to file out the screw channels to accept m5 screws or just design the mounts ground up. (or mill them out like a normal person)

which would give me an opportunity to design completely new motor mounts in a way that the motors sit higher and not risk the lower one popping off from terrain change etc

this is heavily debatable & probably a bad idea, I could risk destroying these motors.
either I take a chance with Depth control which might be my only option or I see if there a safe way to disassemble motor to drill & tap all the way through & reassemble

that makes me a bit nervous but I think I could maybe do it right…?

from the looks of it… it looks doable with some steady hands.
Ive taken out runners apart before but idk if I should risk it or not

Ahaha I lied never mind I totally can get away with not designing that wedge.


As for the signal harness I’m still kinda iffy if I should give it more room and have the Vesc hang off the tail a little to give the harness leeway or just completely deny it it’s necessary space & bend the hell out the harness as soon as it comes out of that port.


Yeah, that’s a tough decision. Not saying I made the right choice, but I chose to face signal harness outwards because I didn’t want it wildly kinked by that support bar. Tucker designed a custom backshell…

Probably the smarter move

But I ain’t gonna listen or follow suit :grinning_cat:
