#ALPHABOARD – Attaching The Gear To The Motor

By: Annie Carstater

Today, we are trying to create divots into the motor so that the gear can stay put while the motor is in motion. We used a drill, but that wasn’t effective enough so we switched to a dremel. After using the dremel, we found that it did not work either. We are switching to a different motor that fits, but it still is compatible with our ESC and our battery. But, we took the washers off the mount because it obstructed the gear from fitting properly. Finally, we tested it and it worked! Now, we’re focusing on protection for the ESC and battery.
