Howto: Make your NEU dual-front bearing :)

[micke_b]

I've reasently had problem with the front bearing of my NEU 1515 2.5D, after just 2-3 h divetime it was done and I had to replace it. But I found a good way of preventing this from happening again.

I use a rc-monster frontplate but I make the hole a little bigger so it accept a 13x5x4 bearing, I also have a 1mm shim between the bearings to get the motor bearing sitting right. Then this bearing will protect the motor bearing taking all the dirt, simple and works good to. And simple to replace this beaing instead of the motor one.

On motor:



In car with some "spacers" to hold the dearing in possition:



Have tested it and it seems to work good. No dirt is finding my motor bearing again. ;)

Maybe Mike should make these plates with a 13mm hole standard. ;)
