you could also lay your extension wire against the motor wire, then wrap a few individual strands of conductor around the two wires tightly, then hot glue, and heatshrink over all that

Got my ant motors today. they look great. Basically a mini beetleweight gearmotor we all know of.
Hoo very nice! Where'd you find those? _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam

Rofl cute, what was the total lead time in the end?
@Jaemus there's a link page or so back, same guy who sells the bigger 1000rpm motors, just search 6v 1000rpm on his page. They have 500rpm too. _________________ ( •_•)

The dissection!
Intricate little buggers. The outer cover is just that, a microscopically thin tube of steel that i guess you could remove. but it weighs so little why bother.
Similar in construction to the polous with the little brass stand offs and clamped construction, but the use of proper bolts instead of those CRAP countersunk ones is a big bonus. Plus the gears seem rather stout compared.
Excuse the filthy nails lol, can you tell ive been building?
Im pretty impressed, they weigh 20 grams a pop which is quite heavy, but it looks like there is some scope for lightening if you want to go that extreme _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

interesting. I just ordered some of the 12v 1200 rpm motors that the same mob has, to experiment with. They look to be a similar style to the one you're holding, and apparently 27g and 16x42mm - so a shitload lighter and smaller than the 1000 rpm ones we're used to

It will be interesting to hear how they go once you have them in an ant. Do you know when you will be using them? _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
Got that kit a few years back, it's the right size but sadly stick mount, so really limits how you can use it because it's so darn high. Pretty convinced on the motors jaemus was using hmm they're way tiny flat but still have a 3mm shaft! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=12681 _________________ ( •_•)
yeah the 3mm shaft was what sold me one of them came with a full kit of screws, adaptors, spec sheet and bullet connectors too, tho for some reason the other one didnt
kit is interesting, i'd go a low KV setup for instant spin up and not- too insanely high top speed with my poorly balanced weapons _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam

yeah, not a bad point, provided the gauge of the supplied wire was suitable - tho you could just buy the wire alone from somewhere _________________ <Patrician|Away> what does your robot do, sam
