Thats whats so great about this hobby and having access to your own printer, if it doesn't work, redesign and reprint, learn from mistakes and improve

Those bearings are for the motor stator (inside shell) to run on the shaft, they will fit on the shaft on the motor, but you would need something that fits around the shaft of the threaded section. Usually 4mm or 5mm. I would look at something like a MR104 BEARING FOR A 4MM shaft (something like htt...

I didnt think to see on here any posts on the TCT show, I went there too, could have arranged a meet, would have been good to meet you Peter, Face to names.... Oh well :) Was an excellent show, i got lots of samples and also enquired about becomming a reseller for Esun again back when they first sta...

I had bought 2 of these boards as they looked interesting and the manufacturers are also making (copies?) the small Deltang RX modules i use too - hence why i saw them, but saw this page had been linked to on Facebook Ant pages. mine should arrive in the next day or so, looking forward to it, althou...

That's looking really good! With the motor controller, you can remove the aluminium plate off the backs the heat generated from the use in antweights is minimal, meaning you can have more weight free. Anyone second this to confirm?

If it's the small chargers I'm thinking of it should be fine, The 0.8 is output charging rate, so it chargers a 0.8amp battery in an hour https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=esky+lipo+charger&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwidrt_ugojPAh...

I have used something at my workplace which would be fantastic to use as a lowering arena pit, perhaps if you have some dimensions of the size of pit, i can mock something up here and make some? could have an automatic pit release firing it off too... This can also be scaled to antweight size... wil...

If you have the weight allowance, i would have some bolts bolting the perforation to the angle in case it is hit by a spinner and knocks the lid off
Or tape around it!

Sounds like a good idea, Having common parts that could be used for legal battles would be beneficial, such as the motor controller, RX, commonly used motors would inspire attendees to continue in the competition fields. Using servos as drive controllers would be ok, perhaps a load of 9g servos, abo...
