Opening/removing endbell CMS36 motors?

Hey, guys.

I have a CMS5700 that I'd like to inspect internally. The screws seem basically.. not removable. I'm wondering if there are any certain tricks to opening one up.

Thanks!

Those shims are FOR the gears on the inside of the diff. The 4 small gears (spider gears) ride on shafts inside of the diff. Those shims can be put on the outside of the small gears on the shafts to...

Yeah - that motor is going to run hot. There's pretty much nothing you can do about it. I mean - you can drop the timing down on the mamba max, gear down a little (but it seems low enough as it is),...

Nice!

I would start with the 14t pinion. Turn the timing down and punch control up on the ESC just to start off conservatively. If everything works well for the first few runs make whatever tweaks...

For a motor you want to run a max RPM of around 35-40,000 RPM. On 4s (14.8v) that would be 2364kv. Personally I run a Neu 1512/2D which is 2650kv and on 4s is 39,220 RPM. A little on the high side...

Just a tip for whoever...

It's probably much quicker to access the screws by uscrewing the radio/servo tray and flipping it out of the way than removing the center diff. At least that's the case...

You've tried slotting what's left of the screws with a dremmel and using a straight blade screwdriver on them?

Agreed. a 1515 is definitely excessive for a buggy. And 6s 5000mah is going to be super heavy (nearly 1.5 pounds). You'll have the heaviest buggy on earth.

I've been running my original 8ight for about a year and the front end slop is ridiculous. Luckily it's fairly easy to minimize slop. You can shim the hubs and arms with there...

Hey, Jerry!

Yeah I would first try thickening up your center diff fluid. I'd try 10k. Some people go higher. With brushless conversions on heavy accelleration you tend to unload a lot more power...
