manco electric conversion

wouldnt really know unless I had two setups and did each one differently...
It seems to be working fine for me...
Its definitely not as good as individually doing it... but im not being that critical... I dont think Ill damage anything, just might not be fully optimized... but its much faster...

FYI, if you want some quick disconnects, I highly recommend these guys, its what I used before adding the 100A pins

McMasterCarr pn 8026K9
good for 45A and stackable/color coded... very handy for quickly disconnecting and connecting

Could you share some more details on the sprocket for your motor? I am planning on using a very similar motor for my project, but can't find much for specs on the shaft size to know what will fit.

A link to the exact one you have would be great

I used this one:

The I.D. was too small so I bored it out with a stepper bit until it fit onto the motor shaft. The sprocket set screws (w/ loctite) and the shaft nut has secured the sprocket without issue so far.

At least your wiring skills are better than the guys who maintain the quad I hired for an hour in Tunisia!

Wow, I just saw this picture. Looks scary!!

Ha, I did the opposite on mine, I turned on the motor on a bench and grinded the shaft down with sandpaper till it fit the sprocket
