You realize the cheap part of this project is buying the motors. I'd also look around for a better price for a 13b.

Why not buy a blown motor for really cheap, and rebuild it when you get it. You're going to have it open anyway.

Lord, he's trying to do it with two Renesis motors. I don't think that's been done before.

If you can make a 3 rotor renesis I'm sure you can make a 4 rotor one as well.. This thread will be entertaining no matter the outcome..

4 rotors...be sure to have a couple dozen eccentric shafts made. You'll go through them quickly.

The problem is the side ports. The middle rotors will be choked from having their exhaust ports siamesed together.

Yep. I don't pretend to know everything about it, I've just heard that peripheral ports are better for 3+ rotors. Seems to make sense to me, especially since the exhaust ports are almost maxed out on size on the Renesis from the factory. RG was only able to reshape CRH's or else he'd be into the water jacket.
