2. Here's the chassis partially assembled. The screws for the
motor mounts are loose so they can be adjusted when you
slide the motors in. The front and rear chassis panels are
also loose so the motors can be slid into the holes milled
out to fit them specifically.
3. Here, we have our wires soldered onto the motors.
Matt — being a heavy user of D2s at his store —
recommends wrapping the soldered end of the wire
in heat shrink as an extra precaution.
4. With the motors soldered
together, you can now put
them in the chassis and secure
it nice and tight. The motors
are friction-fit into the holes,
and will not move — no matter
how hard of an impact your
kit/bot takes.
5. Solder the wires of the
motors to another small
section of wire. The
Scorpion Mini has only
two 'slots' for wires to be
soldered — one for the
red and black of each
motor — so you're going
to want to trim them to
smaller sections.
6. While not a necessity, sticking some
Velcro™to the Scorpion Mini in order to
secure it to the baseplate is highly
recommended.
