Comment on B go beyond – Quadcopter/RC car combo

Comments

What really worries me looking at this design is sand getting into the propeller motors. These need to be open because of cooling requirements (multicopter motors will burn out very quickly if you run them without airflow from the propeller). In this design they are very close to the ground and likely getting sand/earth thrown inside them as it gets kicked up from the ground by tires or as it gets transported upwards by tires and then falls off into the motors.
