It's here. The Repeat Robotics 16mm planetary brushed drive motor. Possibly my favorite upgrade for ant drive.
They have an ultra strong gearbox and drop in to any industry standard 16mm drive setup such as Viper kits, Fingertech flat mounts etc. They're even compatible with the MiniQD connectors on tinyESCs so they can drop into a Viper with zero soldering!! See specs below.
We prefer them over brushless options in this class for their better price, high durability and seamless install. They can run off tinyESCs or Scorpion Nanos flawlessly.
Features:
- Custom wound 030 brushed motor
- 2s-4s rated voltage
- 16mm, 22.6:1 all metal planetary gearbox
- 3mm “D” extra long output shaft (cut to length)
- 27g weight
- If installing in a Viper or using the Flat Motor Mounts M2x4mm screws are ideal for mounting.
- Comes ready for combat, just solder the motor leads to an esc and you’re on your way.
Performance:
- 12V input (3S)
- 1220rpm free speed
- 2A stall current
- 544 g.cm stall torque
- 1.7W maximum power output
- 7.4V input (2S)
- 14.8v input (4S)
