DougM's latest build - Sand Runner

Quick update. I planned to have a rolling chassis by the end of the weekend, I had all the parts for all 4 wheel assemblies

But fate is a cruel mistress and had other plans for me. Ok, a bit overdramatic. I had a flat tire.

I tried patching it but my patches are shite, so I ordered some new tubes.

So instead I’ll be working on the electronics housing.

Also, I made a kind of a stupid mistake,

I was going to use the screw mounts to mount the housings around the outrunners to keep the sand out, but as you can see I perfectly aligned the wires with one of the screws. So I’ll either need to design the housing to not use that screw (easy and will probably work fine) or, well, I don’t have any other option.

Though I was reading another build and the builder (@glyphiks) mentioned that he had bought some sealed Maytech 6374’s so I pinged him to see if he thought they really are sealed.

Edit: @glyphiks got back to me, the motors are not sealed.
