Speccing Electrical Components

Relaxing the packaging constraints has made it possible to reduce costs by using standard electrical components. The most significant of these are the motor and the batteries.


The benefits to using these standard components are measured in cost, both in manufacture and in the design phase. It also happens to reduce the number of calculations and ensure that a reliable, fully functioning product comes out the other end.


Both of these components have been sourced from an RC hobbyist website that lists extensive specifications for each component as well as the type of vehicle they would be used on. The information is there for you to make an educated choice as to which would best suit your application, ideal for this project.

Unfortunately it was not possible to calculate the speed of the motor and hence the prop specifications and power consumption without building and testing a fully working model - a process I simply did not have the time or budget to follow through with during this project.
