Nice build entjoles

I found the same problem with the gearing when using brake disks. You can only get the motor so close before it rubs the disk. With a standard 36mm can like a Feigao XL or Lehner I can get a 16/46 to work (but its VERY close). The only solution I found was to run a low KV motor and then use the taller gearing to get the speed. If your using a 9xl you may need to go to a 10 or 11 xl to get the right speeds with the gearing that will fit for you.

Another thought that I had, but hadn't tried it yet was to get a couple of Mikes motor front plates he makes for the Lehners and Neus and stack them up so it pushes the motor back from the actual motor mount and then you could cut a flat off on the side of the adapter plates to let the disk go in and the disk would actually kinda be between the motor and the motor mouunt plate. That woul let yu get the mtoor in closer with the brake disk.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
