After reading most of the book, you did a great job sharing and explaining the ways environmental factors affect the timings and the DIY photogate is a very interesting thing, I didn't know that an audio jack can be used for so much more (very interesting paper!). Before reading, I never even thought about the temperatures affecting and different designs out of Lego to compensate for that. Thanks for letting us view it for free too! For the PDF version (not sure if it's only me) I can't seem to be able to click the links in Adobe Acrobat reader. Aside from that the book is amazing!

Awesomee! Will be reading it thanks! :D

adorable! what are the 2 spare wheels for?

impressive project! so far ive just 3d printed a little box to house my electronic bits and solder some wires to act as "ports" that I can connect to when making servo stuff or left it in the open held by rubberbands lol this will be quite an interesting project! (currently I use a radiomaster pocket controller)

Impressive! Good job :D defo going to build something similar very unique idea

Woah! Your progress is pretty amazing and just with your mouth you can fit pins together, I even struggle using my hands 🤣great work and I hope to see your next post soon! your posts are pretty funny too :D

ah alright, im not going to have any gearing though so that might affect some things, wheel diameter will probably range from 5 to 10cm

I mean I have been searching for a brushless motor to mount to a car with sufficient torque to drive a 3-4kg build above 40 km/H but can't find any. i also tried searching for ones with gearbox, so far this is the only one I found that seems tested and decent. if you have any links, could you send them to me?

Do you happen to have some outrunner motor links on Aliexpress or Amazon? I have been searching but only found drones :/

the holes on the gearbox has two pins I think sooo the plan would be to use their wheel hubs instead?

i meant gear reduction on zene motors yes, their gearbox on the end of the motors connects to Lego pins I think was more talking about the shaft output on the gearbox there will be wishbone suspension with toggleable pendulum suspension that I will be designing the motors would be unsprung weight and directly connected to the gearbox/gear reduction which would connect directly to the wheel and not have to deal with cv joints or friction problems, not sure how big a wheel I need for 3-4kg

Soo about 7.5k rpm? thats pretty decent A gyro would be used and a lidar would be for autonomous racing and controlled by a Raspberry Pi. Yes main idea is getting rid of the drivetrains, my idea is mounting the wheels directly to the gearbox, do you think a 1/8 or 1/10 scale car using 4 of those motors can reach above 40km/h? How much is each wheel with a gearbox And how much is each esc (I only need to control 1 motor per esc) Also, can a wheel be mounted on the motor/gearbox? directly on the shaft so there's no need for bearings, I will be using metal Lego parts for the bottom chassis for weight and strength and normal plastic for the body. Do you have a measurement of the output shaft, I might be able to find a non-lego wheel that directly connects to it. Also for the price of the brushless motors with gearbox, how much would getting four of the motors with gearbox cost and how much would adding ESc's to control the motors cost?

ah interesting, my plan is to get four of them and have one motor per wheel to have independent control of each wheel speed

how much is motor with gearbox? and whats the output torque? (and rpm)

Is there a price for one motor? and how much would it cost to get four motors (no ESC no battery, just the motors), also can they drive 3kg of load at least 40km/h?
