you do know that when you measure a inside thread that you will still have to work it out as in m24 x1.5 will measure around 22.5mm roughly depending on the tol for the thread, and also it might be a tapered thread considering its for high pressure it might be npt or bspt but I wouldnt know that for sure

Hey guys i got my dad to make some motor mounts for me out of alu or steel (dont know exactly). Is 10cmx10cmx1cm too big? It looks huge to me. I cant get any thicker or thinner.
The robot is coming along
Im currently learning how to use solidworks and lucky enough... My dad knows a thing or two about it cuz they use in in where he works. _________________ Viggy!

that probly is too big,the bigest thing I found out is try an make everything no bigger then it needs to be. big mounts means big wheels and then epending on the design a bigger chassis,also do u 2 mounts per motor,and It wouldnt be hard to cut the mounts down.

Yea it probably is...
Its 700g each atm Which might be too much. Im actually going to reduce to size of it to 9cmx9cmx1cm so it can fit the wheel with around 3mm ground clearance at the back. And to reduce some weight im going to -like many others have done- drill holes in it. _________________ Viggy!
