Beetleweight Brushless Drive Tutorial

Going with a brushless drive system can help reduce the weight and increase your drive power. This tutorial shows you how I did the brushless drive system in my 3lb beetleweight combat robot, Anxiety Attack. By using a few off-the-shelf components, you can put together a powerful drive system for your next beetle! I get my 22mm gearboxes from ServoCity. They come in many different ratios: https://www.servocity.com/motors-actuators/gear-motors/standard-duty-gear-motors/premium-planetary-gear-motors Below are links for a couple calculators that will help you in determining the RPM you need for your gearbox. http://runamok.tech/AskAaron/optimum.html http://runamok.tech/squid/newtorquecalc.htm Be sure to also check out my video on how to reflash your ESCs to support forward/reverse for driving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQQX7IIdAtI Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RobertCowanDIY/ If you'd like to help support my channel, use the following link to shop on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2KG8Z67
