Is that a good setup? Also, what would be better: choosing to put 1 battery in at a time, or putting the 2 lipo’s in parallel? (I read that it might be dangerous for the battery, is that true?)
I also need to make a motor mount. Since I don’t have much money left, I want something cheap… I saw here on the forum that it is possible with metal L brackets I was also thinking: would it be possible to make it out of wood? Or would it be too weak?
40t wheel pulley on a 65mm wheel will probably be around the same size as the wheel itself.
Propably the best bet would be something like 13-32 or 14-34 thereabouts.
Too little clearance between the wheel pulley and the ground runs a higher risk of damaging the belt/pulley.
You’d most likely end up burning up either the motor or the ESC, or both if you’re unlucky.
With a low gearing ratio the motor will have to draw a lot of current to get you moving.
Put both batteries in parallel to reduce the overall stress on them.
The L-brackets might work, have personally not seen it, so can’t say about the durability.
Don’t think wood will be string enough in the long run.
Do not make a mount of wood, it will snap in half the moment u give it throttle. You also need to think about how u will smooth the throttle… u will be thrown off if there is no throttle smoothing. I would suggest the wiiceiver… I also based my first build off of great Scott. Everything he used was junk and I ended up spending more money than if I had just bought the right stuff from the beginning… False economy, anyway good luck!

(GreatScott’s video linked it)
Would it be better with another gear ratio?
