Wow, a 2650 in a CRT.5! The motor must weight more than the vehicle.

Hello,

I swapped out all the bearings in my 2650 and 2200 for ceramics from Boca. The rear cover does come off, but when I did the epoxy pulled off some electrical tape that is wrapped around the wires coming out of the motor. I easily added some new insluation (shoe goo) and off I went.


Motor is very smooth, and very cool.

I used these from boca.

I will post pics tonight

I was also curious, what sized bearing do we need to replace the Tork Flux motor ones?

It will be the same. The Tork motor is a CC2200 with a different can.

5x16x5

5mm - inside diameter
16mm - outside diameter
5mm - thickness

I know this for sure as I have replaced my castle-neus bearings. The front and rear are the same size.
