Motor shaft

[Guest]

I have a pretty decent out runner motor brushless. But the drive shaft is just a bit short. I'm trying to figure out a way of extending it. Any idea's?

Re: Motor shaft

Not much help but... black or red licorice?

Re: Motor shaft

It's got to be black. No sherbet dip either!

Re: Motor shaft

Alright so I melted black and red licorice. I tried them together and separate. I'm now on my 8th motor as the rest have been ruined beyond repair. Licorice was not the answer.

I did use a spare dog bone connector and it seems to work.

Re: Motor shaft

Slip brass tubing over the short shaft, extending it. Slip needed extra shaft length in the projecting tubing, and glue it together with crazy glue.

Re: Motor shaft

You could disassemble the motor, press out the shaft, measure it up and make a new on thats the length you need, and press it back in. or use a longer shaft coupler. how much extra length do you need? If you could post a pic of the setup, ie, motor mounted in place, the shaft it's driving, the hardware you are using may be able to source something.
