Beetleweight Drive Kit

(2 customer reviews)

From £63.00

19th July: We’ve secured a new manufacturer for drive motors and they are being manufactured as we speak, due towards the end of August. Thank you for your understanding 🙂
Everything electronically and mechanically you need to get a beetle driving – BBB motors, mounts & speed controllers, FingerTech hubs & wheels and the full beetle safety kit. Optional BEC and receiver. Just add a lipo and transmitter!  We recommend a 3S 700mAh Lipo and a FlySky i6 Transmitter.

We recommend you build a chassis from 10mm HDPE for the walls and 5mm HDPE for lid/base, we have a full beetle build guide here. Any issues or questions during the build, you can email us at bristolbotbuilders@gmail.com or message us on facebook, we’ll be happy to help.

To smoothly twist on the twist hubs! We made this out of laser cut nylon. Needle nose pliers are another (more scrapey) option.

You will need a BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) to lower the voltage of your lipo (12V or 16V) down to a safe value for your receiver (5V) and possibly a weapon servo.

    Great kit, simple enough to be able to get my head around for a first build!

  2. Jimmi Cottam (verified owner) –

    Super convenient and super affordable. Definitely grab a set or two as they’re handy to have, especially when you need spares. Quick delivery too!
