The washers will help increase the longevity and efficiency of the motor. Even though it is not immediately necessary, the difference will add up if multiple motors don’t have washers. Good luck! Garry
Hi, does it make a huge difference if you put in the motor insert on the motor or not? And are the bearing flats necessary to put on, since when I use them, there is a huge increase in friction.
Hi! The difference is not huge but small differences add up. Bearing flats are very important for keeping driveshafts centred in the square holes. If it causes friction, double check that the bearing posts (the tiny bits of plastic beside the holes) are actually inserted into the square holes of the metal. Also check that your driveshafts are not bent, and that everything is aligned precisely. Good luck! Garry.
Is it necessary to have the washer? Our team doesn't have them currently and we're hoping to keep moving forward with our testing.

@@CreatorAcademyAustraliathe motor should by default keep the axle aligned on its side of the drive channel
Nice video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Garry
