~1/4 Scale ACA Banshee 115 Siren

(Adding this as of right now. Ruthex (the brand that makes the threaded inserts apparently decided to either like discontinue a bunch of their sizes or they're literally just out of stock on EVERYTHING. Amazon will re-direct the link to some random size if it's out of stock/gone so if it does, just try to find an alternative brand but no guarantees they will work. It's not my fault, blame ruthex's dumbass

Since these motors are extremely cheap and you can buy like 10 in bulk, I'd recommend purchasing a lot since my future revamped mini sirens, (defender, STH-10, STL-10, etc.) All use these motors

ALAN WRENCH:

Any LONG 1.5mm alan wrench will work but the ones that come with the coupler are not long enough. Here's one you can use although feel free to search for another one or style you prefer!

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

I'd start with printing the core (rotor, stator) first. The motor fits into the bottom of the stator and is secured in place by two short M3 bolts. The motor cover is then installed through the bottom of the stator (just like the motor) but with 2 M3 inserts that should be in the bottom of the motor cover piece itself. The top of the motor cover secures with four M2 inserts. For the rotor, take a shaft coupler and press it gently into the hole (so it stays upright) You need to make sure that the holes for the setscrews on the coupler are facing exactly towards where the holes come out of the side of the rotor. Making a sharpie mark can help you line it up! Then, take a hammer and tap your coupler STRAIGHT down into the rotor. Then, you can put your setscrews through with the 1.5 alan wrench through the side of the rotor and stator to secure the rotor to the motor.

Next, print the bottom louver and mount piece. These should attach to the bottom of the stator with the M3 bolts from the hardware kit. (you're smart enough to figure out the best bolt sizes) The louver is directly on the stator and the mount piece sits right below it. They're all sandwich bolted together.

The next step is printing the Hat Mount . This piece goes directly on the bottom of the stator (where the motor is located) and is welded on. Make sure you know which rotation will allow the hole for the wire (coming out of the top hat) to line up with the hole on the bottom louver. Once you orient the piece correctly, you can super glue it on and then weld it in place with a soldering iron. The holes on each block on top are for M3 threaded inserts. Use a soldering iron to push in the inserts. 

Print the hat and solder some nice long wires to the motor then, push the wires through the little hole in the bottom of the "sticking out" portion of the hat. Then continue to thread the wires through the hole in the bottom louver. Then you can place the top hat on and secure it in place with four M3 bolts. You can also try buying M3 eyebolts for some of the holes. A nice finishing touch is wrapping the wires in heat shrink tube to make everything look clean and uniform

Your Banshee is now complete!!!
