6384 12s1P assist with battery and vesc integrated in the motor pod

Sharing my own design:

  • all components integrated in the motor pod
  • 2 6s1p off the shelf 21700 battery packs
  • Daly 40amp bms
  • 75100 vesc
  • 6384 motor
  • prop guard
  • gong V3 19mm mast
  • I filled all electronics with two-parts silicon resin
  • vx3 remote
  • antenna runs up inside the mast
  • spanmaxiing propeller from rctestflight YouTube channel

Vesc configured at max 28 battery amp
I could fly, barely. (I weight 95kg)
Next step, I will be testing some RC plane propellers to try improving efficiency.

What motor? I doubt that spanmaxing prop is suitable even though its a efficient prop at the application he tested. The guard also kills power. Take it off and see if that helps.

I am using a 6384 motor. I wanted to keep the prop guard for safety.
I will test a more traditional prop, thanks for the tip!

When I see an all-in-one device, I have these associations.

:rofl: fair!
At low speed I think it is not that impactful. The frontal cross section is very similar to the one of the motor.
Hard to test the difference compared to the motor pod alone. Would be interesting to run the numbers on drag differences between a long pod and a short one.
Maybe a better an engineer than me :wink:
