Re: Using a 775pro in Dusty Conditions

Thanks for all the advice Eric! Good to know there is precedent for something like this. We'll obviously do some testing before implementing anything.

The 775pro is just such a powerful motor for the weight that I think it's worth the trouble to filter and cool it. Given how fine the BP-1 is, would filtration even be possible? I haven't taken the time to look into that yet.

Also, NASA allows fan cooled motors despite the fact that there is virtually no atmosphere on the Moon/Mars. This is because NASA can afford much nicer motors than us
