Syma X8 Re-imagined as a Fire Wheel 450!

thingiverse

Since the parts for the Syma X8 are plentiful and affordable, I decide to reimagine the Syma X8 as a DJI Fire Wheel 450! As I test-fly this creation, it still requires some work in progress, and this is a remake of many parts sourced from Thingiverse. I have made sure to give credit where it's due by listing all contributors involved in this project. Main Components Used: * Syma X8 Complete Motor Assembly: http://amzn.to/2mT0lVP * Syma X8 Prop Kit: http://amzn.to/2m7Yhtg * Syma X8 2000 mah batteries and charger: http://amzn.to/2mGCJHh * Syma X8 Hover Board Receiver: http://amzn.to/2m7RfEE * Syma X8 Transmitter (hover version): http://amzn.to/2msfBvz * Syma X8 screw set: http://amzn.to/2mGCMCU Important Note: When building this model, be aware that the stock Syma X8 motor shaft housing can be attached to 3D printed adapters using self-tapping screws. However, it's recommended to use a #2 bolt and nut combination or drill out the center opening for added security. This will prevent the risk of separation during flight. Update: On March 12, 2017, I updated this project with a newer motor mount version (v2). You can find more information at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2140188.
