Default Home made motor run in tool

Hi all, me again, no come back dont run away

after discovering most people run there motors in (most meaning top boys) i thought id try and buy one from a store, like most do. but after seeing the prices on these (stupidly expensive) i thought id make one my self and share it with you :?

the design is very simple, basically its a box with a heatsink on it, 4 wires, amount of cells you wish to run your motors in with bearing in mind each cell is 1.2 volt i have been told the norm is 5 volt, but a few others think its too high,soon find out?? a pair of croc clips and two corrallys.

basically found the centre of the box, marked it up and drilled two holes for the screws. i tapped the holes out and then screwed on the heatsink

Then added some wireing loom:

two corrallys are used to charge the cells up via charger and two other wires connect to the motor

battery placement:

the heatsink is used to keep the motor in place whilst the motor is spinning, and also acts as a cooler to keep heat and wear away from the motor whilst its being ran in!

simple, and cost bugger all to make cause i had all that in my pitbox!

bored you all enough now i suppose hehe.
