Zero turn r/c weedeater

[lincpimp]

Rethinking the drive system. I still like the 2 5:1 reduction earsets, for a total of 25:1 at the wheel. But I think 4s will suit the MM better and provide more torque when coupled to an outrunner. Plus outrunners have more torque.

Heres what I found at HC:http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...less_Outrunner

Around 50 bucks for both motors, I cannot go wrong. So I am looking at 100 bucks or so for the 3 motors, and about 100 bucks for the gears and shafts necessary to make the gear reduction units. Not sure what the bearing supported cutting blade thingy will cost to make, need some sort of good bearings that can handle forces up/down and side/side.

I will try to get something mocked up so that you guys can see what is in my head.
