Getting intimate with the Feigao 580L (and MetalMan's hands)

[MetalMan]

Nobody here seems to have purchased one of these, I've only seen speculation
So I bought one because my XLB killed the KB-45 10XL that was in there (shredded the windings, the rotor was still intact). The Feigao 580L I ordered is the 12L, with a kv of 1051. Now for the good stuff!









Looks like it has a 8mm shaft where the rotor mounts, which is turned down to 6mm for the bearings (beefy bearings!), and then the output shaft is 5mm with a nice flat spot. The windings on this motor seem to be a lot neater than on the Feigao 540 motors, which is nice. Also, it's hard to see in the pics but there is a steel cylinder between the windings and the can. This steel ring is what's causing the rotor to stick to my fingers in the second to last pic, that's pure magnetic strength!

I was a bit disappointed with the lack of 30mm spacing and 4mm thread mounting holes, so I made an adapter plate to do this. If the endbell on the motor weren't so retarded I would have put the bolt pattern on that instead.
