Sorry, I wasn't sure if you were planning to try staying plastic track, or prototype a few then send it off later to be printed in metal.

Can't wait to see this one come together
Did some research and found out the motors are permanent magnet motors 31ZY, might be 4000 rpm, 3mm motor shafts with screw gear installed, 12v at 65 rpm output on the gearbox shaft ... I used 2s lipo batts at first but the 7.2 volts seem to be underpowered, i changed to 3s and they seem to work well at 11.1 volts since the motors are rated at 12 volts. Im tempted to try a 4s pack but im afraid it might burn the motor out.
