2023 Competition, Hanky Planky motor solution

Ron Gray has resolved the motor issue.

The recommendation is to use an Overlander Tornado Thumper 2830-1300, for which the manufacturer suggests a 20A ESC.

Ron is sourcing these motors from Kings Lynn Models, so let him know your requirements. Ron’s email address is on the Members Only page (password required).

There are 3 other options and a rider that says any other make of motor that matches one of the required specs is OK. For details of these, the full build spec and Ron’s offer to source some parts for your build, visit the Hanky Planky – 2023 Competition Steed page.

You may not have a copy of the plan. I suggest that if you are not a subscriber to RCM&E, the best approach is to buy a back copy of November 2022’s edition (link opens in a new tab) from the publisher. This will also give you a build article, although Ron’s photo report should guide you through.
