Thanks Tim 👍 i enjoy your videos and have learned a lot!!! I have 2 bricks and 2 motors out of the UMX beast and I'm currently building a micro P-51 and your tips have gotten me through 90% of the build👍 thank you much👍 P.S. i finally remembered to hit subscribe 🤦🤣
The prop shaft on that motor is reversible. You can loosen the set screws that holds the motor can to the prop shaft and slide the prop shaft to the opposite position. Not sure why it is not described in the manual, but the old Eflite 250 clipped wing cub ARF required reversing the shaft.
I don't like "prop saver" propeller mounts as on some small brushless motors. When used in the "tractor" mode, rubber o-ring can break or come off and propeller can fly off in your face or forward. Motors with common X-mount and screws, plus collet-type prop adapters are safer to use, propellers are fairly cheap. Motors with "bolt-on" prop adapters are even safer, don't depend on collet or set screw to hold prop and adapter to motor shaft. Downside with X-mounts is need to make a box or use standoffs to locate motor in a cowl. Innov8tive Designs sells plastic mounts of various sizes and lengths to help mount motors with X-mounts in cowls.
