ZMR 250 buildlog:
The package:
The frame:
12A small esc:
Really tiny motors, expected them to be small but not so tiny:
Thickness of base plate is around 1.5 mm and the arm is thicker around 3 mm
The arm fits over this:
Checking arms position before assembling:
Top plate:
Bottom most plate:
Mid plate: the arms come between this and the bottom plate:
The PDB with small switches for LED strip in the kit
Rough assembly to test the frame: Top plate and stands:
Top plate and mid plate;
Soldering ESC’s:
Removed the SMD switch because it was too thick to fit between mid and bottom plates:
Sandwiched the PDB between mid and bottom plates , also fixed the pivot of arms with stand:
Removing buttons made it just right thickness to fit between too plates (alternatively could have soldered on same side as the switch but it didn’t solder good on that side)
Thanks to Sooraj for pointing out, forgot to mention, use a insulation tape between PDB and the CF plates due to conductive nature of CF.
Took the exrea wires out from below, put a heat shrink on each of them and used cable tie to hold both esc and the wires below:
This is main part of the build, rest is just fixing motors, checking directions and soldering the esc’s correctly.
