You can use Koford 2mm axels to replace the shafts or get 2mm rods from Amazon. The Amazon product will need to be put in a dremel tool and buffed down with sand paper to fit into the bearings in the stator. It makes a tight fit if you don’t buff the whole length leaving a little to push back into the rotor. Then the new shaft can also be pushed in from the top of the rotor, locktight on the end going in the top. The motor will depend on the type of chassis and track you are running. The EMAX eco 1106 4500kv worked for testing in most applications we put it in. Gotta start somewhere, then test test test! Thank you for your interest.
@@brushlessslotcarracing Thank you! A few more questions if I can. Most of these smaller motors are rated for 2-3s lipo which is 8.4-12.6v. Most tracks I know of run at least 16v. Do you, or should you run a voltage regulator on your controller to limit line track power to 8.4-12.6v depending on the motor you are running? Or does the ESC have a regulator built into it?
@@johnshaffer82 I take it you are going to drag race ? Drag strips have 16.4 vdc for power( mine does that’s the “standard “ voltage) across the country. No there is not anything on the esc that will drop down the voltage. You should use motors that are rated for the vdc that you are going to run on. Motors that are higher in S ratings are bigger in overall size and will also fit into slot chassis’s with a little bit of dremel work to the mounting holes. I would recommend using motors rated at 3-4s minimum for 16v or more.
Removing the shaft using a vice, sure beats the hell out of using a hammer ☺ Easy-peasy!!
👍 Glad to help!
Nice bro and thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Where do you get the replacement 2mm shafts? Also any recommendations on motors?
