Beetleweight Brushless Drive Kit

(1 customer review)

From £159.00

Everything electronically and mechanically you need to get a beetle driving – but with a more premium powerful brushless system – BBB brushless ESCs, Repeat motors & hubs, FingerTech wheels and our full beetle safety kit & BEC. Optional receiver, transmitter and wiring loom. Just add a lipo – we recommend a 3S or 4S 500-850mAh Lipo.

24mm brushless gearmotors are geared for power, particularly at 4S – this drive setup was on Joe’s Grab Crab at Rapture 2024 with great success! All metal geared 24mm planetary gearbox, beefy hardened steel 6mm shaft – extra length for bearing support or use rotary tool to cut off excess to save weight.

We recommend you build a chassis from 8-10mm HDPE for the walls and 4-5mm 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.

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.
Add a Receiver
The Flysky receiver is intended for the Flysky FS-i6 and other AFHDS 2A transmitters, please check your transmitter supports this before purchasing.

We recommend using blue (medium strength) threadlocker on mounting screws when mounting your motors to your chassis. Each time you removed the screws this will need to be cleaned off and reapplied.

  1. Paul Vitolins (verified owner) –

    Joe and the Bristol Bot Builders know just what it takes to support builders around the globe. I’ve just competed in my first tournament at NHRL this past September, and this kit performed very well. My chassis and armor? Not so much.

    If you’ve ever wanted to get started building and aren’t sure where to start, OR are looking to effortlessly upgrade to a powerful, nimble and compact drive train…this is the one.

    Thanks for the great parts, and the detailed guides to build my confidence in the sport.
