Brushless RC Motor Bearing Replacement - Spektrum 3200kv (spmxsm2000 - Armma Granite 3S)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- After spending more time than I want to admit, I finally figured out how to remove, correctly size for purchase, and re-install the bearing and parts of a brushless rc motor from my Granite 3S V3. It is a non-sensored, 4-pole, brushless motor from Spektrum labeled as spmxsm2000 and has a can size of 3660. The entire process can be done in as little as 15 minutes, or less, depending on how much difficulty you have removing the worn bearing. If you have any issues or questions, feel free to ask below in the comment section and I will do my best to respond quickly.

You guys are awesome thank you
Thank you
Okay well when I tried to put the 5*16*5 in it was bigger
@@carolynhitt1916 V3 has the big and small bearing....V1 and V2 have two of the smaller bearings.
@@rcleesd okay so I must have a piece of bearing stuck in the end of the motor how do I get it out
Thank you! I almost never like videos but your's deserves it. Only place to find this info!
Thank you so much! That is the main reason I made this video was because I couldn't find any information out there on it anywhere. Thank you so much for the like and comment, it means a lot to me.
Nothing online...you ain't joking. I plugged the p/n into ARRMA and got no listing for this motor. Thanks for the research and the video.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it and glad if it helped in any way!
YOU EXPLAIN THINGS EXTRAORDINARY WELL and I don’t care about my caps I want everyone to see this comment!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
I have the same V3 Granite and never thought about doing that. Great job on your research. I'm definitely subscribing. 👍
Thank you!!
@rclee6 You're welcome sir.
Love the details. Thanks for taking the time ✌
You are absolutely welcome!!
Helpful video.. rc shop was pushing new motor but all I needed was a new shaft side bearing
Awesome! Glad it helped!!
I replaced the front bearing using your guide. I bought the bearings that you linked to. Guess what happened. The new bearings broke within 30 seconds of driving. 😮 I bought a new motor, hopefully that one lasts longer.
What a bummer! These rcs tend to get a lot of dirt and sand in them quickly. Can I ask what you were running on? Clay, grass, asphalt, dirt, sand?
Man your video helped me avoid such a headache! You explained everything in perfect detail! Thank you!!
I'm so glad that it helped, thank you for watching!
Huge help in replacing my motor bearings! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
You have given me information on everything I cant find and delivered it in the most helpful manner! Much obliged partner!
I'm glad I could help!
Great video mate, saved me the time looking for bearing sizes and part numbers etc props👌
Thank you for watching!
Awesome video, just what I was looking for!
Awesome video bud. This is great info to have when the time comes. Definitely saving this one.
For sure!
My Big Rock stopped moving yesterday and I thought I was going to have to replace the motor but after watching your video I was able to determine my bearings are shot. You just saved me from having to buy a new motor. Thank you and just clicked that sub button.
Awesome!! If you ever lose steering, check the plug from the radio to the esc...I had that come loose one day and it was an easy fix, but almost overlooked it! Also, if you ever lose throttle after big jumps, check the 3 motor wires at the bullet connection, those sometimes come loose. Thanks for watching!
@@rcleesd Great information! I love how fun this hobby is, and I love the willingness of the community to help others. Wish I would of gotten into this sport years ago.
@@corymra Me too. It really has been an awesome way to connect to others in thee hobby during this virus stuff.

An excellent and informative video! Thank you!!
Thank you!! I appreciate it 👍
Great video! I do repairs for a local hobby shop and ran into this bearing issue with one of the repairs. You saved me doing a lot of research. Thanks!
Glad it helped!!
You did great explaining everything, my new bearings from trb rc just came in, so I'm about to tackle the rebuild
Awesome! Good luck!!
@@rcleesd turned out flawless, much quieter and probably 10% faster
@@phillipgardner5836 Glad to hear it!
Awesome video. My motor seized up. The pulled the rotor out and all the bearings just fell out. Now the hard part is taking out the outer ring of the bearing. Thanks for the video.
Good luck with that outer ring of the bearing. Try to heat up the casing (it's aluminum so should change shape quickly) by either leaving it in the sun for a while or a blow dryer. Then, try to cool only the bearing (ice, frozen nail/screwdriver) by touching it with the cold item. Let me know how it goes!!
Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try and let you know.
I got it out. It was pretty simple. I used a 1/2-13 flat bottom tap. Screw in the tap like I was going to thread a hole. Made sure it bottom out. Flipped the motor 180 and hit it out with a punch. I'm not a guy who likes making videos but might try to post something up to help others too.
@@xiong2moua Awesome!!

Thanks for the video! Just had the motor completely lock up on my big rock from what I assume was heat or dirt. One new ceramic bearing and we’re back in business.
Good to hear you got it back up and running! Thanks for watching!
Exactly what I needed help with, you Legend

Thank you so much!!
thank you for this video. it's very helpful.
You are very welcome, glad it helped!
very well done !
Thank you!
Thank you. I never knew about the beveled side of the spacer. I recently checked my motor and the spacer was slightly chipped. I think it's because it was backwards. Replaced it the correct way with a spacer from another motor.
Awesome, glad it helped!!
Thank you you were a lot of help once again thank you
No problem, glad it helped!
Great Content🤛🏾
Thank you!!
@@rcleesd I Opened My Motor And The Bearings Was Good But The Rotor Was Busted So I Just Ordered A New Motor Cause I Couldn't Find That Part To Fit
@@jackofallmasterofone8940 thanks for the update, hope it's going well!
Thanks for the video man! The same thing happened to my big rock v3 on the 4th run. Unfortunately half of the bearing is still in the motor and I can’t get it out but luckily horizon is sending me a new motor when they get off of back order 👍
Nice!! They just sent me the V2 motor made by Arrma and said they might not be able to get that spektrum one anymore (probably because the bearings keep failing would be my guess).
@@rcleesd yeah they might send me one as well because it’s been a month since it’s happened
Great!!! Thank you so much !!
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful thank you.
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Thanks. I appreciate this vid. I’m going to subscribe
Thanks for watching and substring!
I appreciate this. My Typhon 3S V3 quit on me after a couple weeks with a failed bearing in the motor just as you have shown and replaced. I will be ordering these bearings as well for my new motor when it finally arrives. The original motor was so locked up, I couldn't remove the failed bearing. It was in shards.
Man, that's a bummer! I'm glad you found my video...keep an eye on that exposed bearing and replace when it gets worn and your new motor will last forever! Thanks for watching.
Same thing happened to my big rock!
Thanks so much, I was going to buy a new engine. Thanks
I'm glad you found the video!
I bought a v3 big rock as soon as they came out and a week later the bearing ( large side ) exploded and locked the motor up. At the time I didnt know what the issue was. Arrma sent me a new motor same spec so I installed that and the old motor is sitting in my parts box. I did and would reccomend putting a small o ring on the shaft behind the pinion gear. It will keep dirt out. Just dont put more than one as it will cause the motor to drag against the end cap and will eventually burn up. I did this with the new motor and it has been perfect since. Thanks for the video! Great info.
Thats a great idea about the o ring! Thanks for commenting and sharing.
head on crash for the second time on my typhon and just found that rattle in the motor shaft, motor doesn't sound smooth and quite anymore, thanks for the video now i gotta wait for the bearings!
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful. Thank you!! 🧟
Thanks for watching, glad it helped!
No worries thank you so much. Got a question too ask? Where do you get those shims on back of the motor. You know the sad face things. I have another motor I'm fixing and now know why it broke on me. Thanks to your video. But I must have lost those when I took the motor apart a year ago. If could tell me what or part number would be great. Thank you!! ☠️💯🥃
@@skeletorrc2583 Honestly, I don't know where to buy them. My best guess would be to try to source something similar to those at a hobby shop or Home Depot. I doubt that Amazon would carry them, but possibly on Ebay. Maybe you could try to contact Spektrum directly, but I think you have to go through Horizon. Their solution would be to send a new motor though. Good luck and let me know if you find a solution!
I have found some on Amazon that come in a kit. 200+ different sizes. From 3mm too 30mm so we will see. Thank you for responding if they are it I will gladly sure the info with you. ☠️🧟
Cheers mate!
Thanks for watching!!

Thank. You!
You are very welcome!
thanjks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
It drives me crazy that they don’t give basic information like that, knowing we’re going to need it at some point. How hard is it for company’s to let us know the bearing sizes? I’ve spent hours looking up basic, easy for manufactures to let us know, information. Especially, new people like myself that know how to fix thing, just need a stupid size. Thank you for going through all that to save me and all of us time. Btw I hear lots of bad reviews because of the bearing issue on that motor, that’s why I looked before it happened. Super super appreciated!!!!
I felt the exact same way and was the main reason I decided to make the video as I couldn't find much on it, even here on TH-cam. Thank you so much for watching and commenting...I'm glad it helped!!
I made them send me another motor for free they got a 2 year warranty..I'm fixing to see if new bearings fixes the original motor
Nice vid due...helpful👌👌👌
You're welcome!
Great vid... after reading some comments on FB groups saying that this bearing change was difficult and then seeing this vid has me feeling great on how easy it is..
Great job man
Thank you!
Awesome!
👍
Thanks for the info mine just went out and I also couldn't find anything on the motor .
No problem, hope this helped!
I am waiting on my replacement bearings. I had to make a Hook from a Small blade Screw Driver as a tool to remove the Rear Bearing.. Used a propane torch to heat the rear cap held by the Pliers.. Then I slowly pride the bearing out.. It was not easy..
I would love to see Bread Crumbs remove Yours...😂
I personally don't believe that at All..
I definitely didn't do the bread crumb method, haha.
Thanks super helpful even tho horizon sending over a new one
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thank man!!
You're very welcome!
@RC Lee hey thanx for the link to bearings. My bearings were so bad well just the one in the nose that i couldn't get any numbers off of it , i got the number from the rear bearing and it ended up being to small when i took the race out and matched it up im in the process of repairing my motor only after about 9 or 10 runs and the bearing is blown out
No problem! Bummer it went out after only 10 runs. Thanks for watching!
Good video, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful post. My typhon motor froze up and horizon is shipping a replacement but I took my old motor apart And the same bearing was obliterated. Just balls and shards of metal...and grease of course 🙄. Can't get the race of the dead bearing to budge though.
It is very difficult. I believe the housing and cap are aluminum, so maybe try to heat it up and the steel bearing shouldn't expand as much as the aluminum, and you might be able to get the rest out. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Just did mine in a new typhon v3 as a preventative measure as there are lots of reports of them disintegrating pretty fast although I suspect a tight mesh from factory is contributing a lot.
Mine had a black rubber seal on and seemed perfect but hey ho it's done now, I put an SKF one in so hopefully that'll last a good while.
TOP TIP- to get the old bearing out easily use the t bar from the wheel wrench and tap it down while holding the motor, comes out easy.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip to get the old bearing out!
I have 3 arrma 3s motors with the bearings locked up. I'm waiting for my new bearings from Ebay. I paid 20$ for 4 bearings! Wish I saw your video sooner. Can't imagine how many people bought a new motor because of a 2$ bearing!
Those dang motors! That's why I decided to make this video, it seems to be a very common issue!
You can use a thick grease also instead of bread crumbs. It's an old trick for removing pilot bearings from a crank shaft. Thanks for the good vid!
Good idea! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. My brand new Vorteks burned out the bearing after 4full 3s packs.
That's a bummer, glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!
Great info... subscribed now
Awesome!
Thanks you nice video
Thank you!!
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your discoveries! and explaining it so clearly and with such detail. A lot of videos are a "hey, look I did something amazing" and doesn't really cover how to do it yourself, so thanks for taking the time to explain it so other people can do it too. Guess who has a new subscriber?
Who's the idiot who disliked this? Gosh, such disrespect for your hard work.
Thank you so much! After not finding any information about it here on TH-cam, I figured it would be worth the time to share the info. I am humbled and appreciate you taking the time to thank me for it. Thanks for watching!
@@rcleesd totally. Good info and well put together. Audio was good too. No complaints. Gotta give credit where its due.
Great video and very well narrated. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. It is really helpful as I'm in the process of rebuilding a motor and wasn't aware of the order and orientation of the rear washers.👍👍
