Re: Wheel Designs

Depends on the wheels you're using. If you're using solid wheels, drilling holes in accordance to the bolt pattern of a specific kind of sprocket would be your best bet, with some polycarbonate, wood, carbon fiber, or any other material spacer to fit. Then, just bolt the sprocket on to your wheel, and that's one half of the equation.

For the other side, the BaneBots GP-56012 (The 56mm, 12:1 Planetary single motor gearbox that comes with the kit) has a nifty 1/2in wide, 4in long driveshaft with a nice little notch in the shaft that is .125in deep. That notch, which runs down the length of the shaft, can be used to hold a sproket with one of those small hex bolts in it.

Hope this helps.
