Clamping a 540L motor..
 

Having trouble with the endbell on my 8L falling off - whats the best way to stop this happening? I was thinking some sort of clamp, but the RC-Monster one I think is too big to fit in my RC10T? Anyone measured the thickness of the heatsink bit?

Thanks.

the clamp is really not that big. What part do you need measured
I can measure it for you.

It sticks up about 8mm and 45mm wide across

8mm is going to be way too big I think :( Looks like it'd hit the tranny housing. I have around 4mm to play with on my current setup.

Thanks for your measurements mate, much appreceiated :)

that is only on one side to mate. Do you got a pic of where you trying to put it? It may help out. There was another clamp on the market to that just clamped the motor. I can't remember where i seen it.

I used 2 part 5 minute epoxy to glue mine back into place. Works good. Now I can't get it apart even if I try.

Yeah, the rc10 has got too little space to fit the heatsink/clamp.

Pop Mike an email, perhaps he has got a clamp only.

On the other side of the motor, there's even less space :( The only avilable space is so you can move the motor a bit to change the gearing..

Will shoot Mike an email now and see if he can come up with anything. I've never used epoxy before so a bit hesitant to try it on a motor. Is it like working with fiberglass car stuff?

No, epoxy is fluid, a two component glue/material

Perhaps using the heatsink/clamp, but dremelling away the excess material to provide clearance is the best option. This way, you get some benefits of heat dissipation, as well as a secure endbell.
