My first beetle weight, just some questions

[harry hills]

Link to each part, then we can all make sure that you're not going to make any mistakes etc. Don't forget to include postage and customs etc

£150-170 is probably a more accurate figure.

have the hubs

ignoring the rx and tx, have i missed anything?

Battery charger? Also if I was you I'd get a high power servo from hobbyking in case you want to add a lifter as the postage will probably be more than the cost of the servo if you order it separately- but that's your choice.
If you don't already have them you need a connector for your battery and a removable link/ switch or something (I'm not sure on the beetleweight rules for this).
Other than that it looks like you've got everything.

ok how many mha should i aim for?

and what thread are the mounting bolts on the front of those motors?

also it doesn't say on the botbitz website if they have a BEC for the Rx?

will these do for the battery and the charger?

What is the best way of mounting those motors? I was thinking a hope mounting hole and some kind of clamp or just making a plate to mount he front of the motor to, will that be strong enough?

Is how I made mine

i just used a bit of 2mm aluminium u channel to mount my 4 motors but you can buy ready made brackets off ebay and amazon

I think I'm going to make one out if the 10mm hdpe sheet I have orders, to mount things to the top and bottom, can I thread it or will it be too soft, or are there wallplug type things I can get I can get?
