AWESOME MAN!! I always wanted to build a ring spinner!! And you have inspired me!

I'll definitely build one when I have the money and time, and maybe i will make it a hobbyweight 4wd.

Do you think that 4 Banebots P60 (I don't know the ratio yet) with 4 rs395 is a good choice? I'm also thinking about building a simple system to decrease impacts and to distribute it to all the robot. If I really build it I'll post a build report here, but it will probably take me 4~5 years to start it hahahhah I have my reasons hahaha Very Happy

Best regards from Brazil,

Yuri Mafra

Nice one Jake, well done getting it ready in advance Smile I wouldn't use the Banebots 3-9A ESC's, I'm ditching them for all future beetles as they just keep freezing and resetting even with my radio limits set up to stay under 100%.

The BotBitz 10A are pretty successful, over 400+ units out in the wild in various classes.
We have had less then 5 units reported with failures Smile

They look bigger than the fingertechs though. Its actually pretty space constrained in there. (like putting the lid on compresses the electronics just a touch)

You could always try a Pololu B328, they have similar specs to the Finger techs.

I can one in Scarlet as it was the most compact solution I could get.

So the new friction drive tyre was made

https://youtu.be/rlhpt7-TeVk

It's great, much lower rolling resistance, higher friction, waterproof etc

It needed a bit of trimming to get it to size

https://youtu.be/Y8Krfkxfrz0

But the final spin up is pretty good

https://youtu.be/0zW2G-psFWY

It's probably about 1200rpm the tacho wasn't reading that well.
It read around 2400 but we figured hitting 2 teeth we should divide that by 2.

Going to see about remaking the teeth out of some biz500 that was generously donated

yeah the camera was the deciding factor in getting this over the nexus ;->
1080p @ 60fps, the 60FPS just makes everything look the seks.
It'll do 4K as well (@30fps), but nobody has a screen that high res so meh lol.
