Team Kaizen Build Diary

[Ocracoke]

Jibril
For the current 1.6 version, I've ordered some 10mm thick Grade 5 titanium and some shaft collars. It is only meant to be a stopgap as this version is only fettled until the MW championship and EXR Cheltenham. The 2.0 version build had stalled somewhat in the midst of all the projects going on at home but once the MW championships are out of the way, then I can do the big transplant. I've also been practising my CAD skills with regards to the Scythe gearbox carrier. Hoping to get that cut out fairly soon.

Azriel
So I tried the brushless conversion and it seems the power being delivered to the motors isn't enough. It needs more refinement but I am still convinced this has mileage. The inrunners might need to be swapped though for a outrunner for the extra torque but we'll see.The trouble is, I can't work on Azriel until after Jibril is done at EXR Cheltenham because I need the axe motor from that for this one. I've CADed up a new axe for Azriel which I plan to debut at either the FW show at Manchester or RoboDojo.
