N20 Mount for Fingertech Viper Chassis - NEW 1 Piece Version

thingiverse

This is a new version of the piece I made to convert Fingertech Viper kits to use N20 motors. The new version is all one piece, much easier to work with when installing, and provides a ton more support for the motor/gearbox. It's also the same weight as the old version. The shafts land in the exact same place as stock and can run off the same Fingertech Tiny ESCs included in the kit. It prints with no supports and you can use regular PLA with a very low infill. <b>Using N20s offers a few benefits over Silver Sparks</b> <ul> <li><b>Weight, much lighter.</b> Allows for better armor. <li><b>Size, much smaller. </b> Allows more space in the bot. It enabled me to move my lifter servo back and keep the scoop flush with the front wedge making it much harder to hit. <li><b>Cost, </b>N20s are a fraction of the cost of Silver Sparks <li>I hate the tiny little screw that flush mount the Silver Sparks. I find these much easier to install/service. </ul> You'll have to drill two holes in the chassis and source the proper hardware. Hardware info below. I order mine from Bolt Depot.
