WPL full brushless outrunner upgrade

thingiverse

+++ 08.01.2019 Update +++ I did the following changes to the ELO base: -Removed the holder for the ESC power cap -enlarged the hole for the servo arm -removed parts from the front to have a better access to the servo horn screw. Enjoy ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I never saw a WPL to brushless outrunner conversion. I did it, and I’m very happy. I’m using: - Ezrun 18A ESC - Jamara AL1022 - Flysky RX - HK15148B - HXT500 - 2S Lipo - Full metal driveshaft - Modified 2 speed GBX - 3D printed ELO base, wheel extension, shock mounts,… check out my profile - Modified stock shocks - Wheels filled with lead - …. I used a „tuning“ brushed motor, but wanted all the advantages of a brushless motor and the complex configuration option in BL ESC’s (like initial/auto brake, start up modes, voltage control,….). I designed a motor adapter to fit the AL1022, reduced the shaft diameter to fit the stock pinion and designed a perfect ELO base to fit and place all mentioned components. Check out the pictured and videos. The low speed capabilities and maximum torque is stunning. The clicking noise on one video was the balance plug touching the motor. Videos is showing action in the first gear. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gxntdh72xTA" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> These things are designed for the mentioned parts. But it is easy to use any outrunner with the same dimensions and 800-1200rpm/V with the custom motor adapter. If you like my design, feel free to offer me a paypal tip ;-)
