If I was to pair this motor with the solink helical gear set, should I use thread locker on the pinion grub screw? And if so, which one do you recommend?
I have swapped the pinion on most of my brushless, (including option n1 with O type) without disassembling them and never had issue. There is far more risk removing the board. For the Solink with large bearing at the end plate and D type, there is absolutely no need to disassemble it. Just make sure to press instead of hammer
Press fitting might work, I'd have to run some test. I found Solink to be quite tight compared to other motors, which is good. I did already damage one Solink motor bearing where I was lightly tapping to get the gear to fit. I'd be interested to see how well press fitting stacks up. I think some users might not even know the motor is damaged, I only noticed the damage as I was conducting heat tests between Warhead, T238 and Solink and I noticed a spike in the running temp after 40 secs noload. Otherwise I don't think I would have found the problem.
Nope, never press fit a pinion with a brushless motor. If yours is still working you’ve been lucky. I smashed the sensors and esc on my opt.1 that was probably one of the first in eu like 4 years ago. Definitely do not attempt to press fit a pinion without removing the esc and supporting the rotor on the other side.
@@giuroy agreed. My guess is some of the brushless manufacturers are looking into the issue on how to make pinion fitting easier, will be a unique selling point. Either QD controllers or a structure inside that braces the shaft.
Can u disassemble the v5? Id like to see more about the unidirectional bearing
I will when I get one
@@xtairsoft thanks I have several but I’ve never taken the time to really disassemble it and review each individual component.

Yes, I use Loctite 648 but really any decent strong one will work

Why not just Cool the shaft and heat the pinion?
@@needmoreboost6369 it will reduce the friction but can't guarantee that pressure needed is low enough to not damage support bearing and ESC.
