Abstract
The present disclosure describes an indirect motor drive train for RC vehicles. Example embodiments include RC vehicles such as helicopters (and more specifically quadcopters) with a housing and housing arms that extend radially from the housing. Protected within each housing arm is a motor and indirect drive train. In operation, the drive train may include a first gear and a second gear with corresponding teeth that mesh together to translate motion from the motor axis to a propeller axis.
