Using a 775pro in Dusty Conditions
Since the 775pro is a fan cooled motor, is it possible to run it in very dusty conditions? For reference it would be used on a mining robot built for NASA's Robotic Mining Competition. The mining material is called regolith (not the horrible FRC kind) and it is made up of very small particles of volcanic ash called BP-1.
We are thinking about using a system of fans and filters to keep the motors cool and sealed. The logic behind using a 775pro or just a fan cooled motor in general is the weight savings vs. a cim motor for example.
So can a 775pro survive these conditions? Is this a stupid idea? Does anybody have any motor recommendations that would be better suited than the 775pro?
