As known, broke my mounts in my last crash :'(
So as other members said that mounting the motor directly to the frame with zip-ties is fine. I tried doing that.
new motor and LiPo recently bought from a fellow member here.
See attached pics and let me know if it 's fine so I can mount the other 3 too the same way.
And yes, they seem pretty fixed. I tried moving them and still didnt move.
I haven't tried this before but I guess it should work. Maybe a bit of foam between the motor and the boom would help to dampen vibrations. I wanted to mention that this a great coincidence. Soon after your motor mount broke, quadkopters started stocking spare mounts: http://www.quadkopters.com/product/rtf-kit-and-frames/x525-spare-motor-mounts-4pcs/ (http://www.quadkopters.com/product/rtf-kit-and-frames/x525-spare-motor-mounts-4pcs/) Soon after quadkopters started stocking spare 450 arms, one of my quad arms broke :banghead:
haha :D
yea a good coincidence :D
but i had a chat with satya sir and he did mention that he would be making the mounts himself as spares . original are to costly..
They work fine.Make sure that motors are not loose.Else vibrations starts occuring.
no, they arent loose. Tha was the first thing i checked .
Use some doubleside tape b/w motor and Al. boom , Also just 2 strong Zip ties will be enough - see the last posts here : www.rcindia.org/multirotors/custom-fpv-quadcopter-build/ (//http://)
i just flew the quad a bit for any issues. NONE :D
Works just perfect :)
If I open the Zip Ties next time, will add some cushioning below it.
That helps remove any kind of vibrations - and yes also it is like a cushion - makes the motors tight fit :)
yea, kept it for the next time :)
