Need help keeping motor from moving...

[What's_nitro?]

Are you using cap-had screws now? Honestly, you are #1 that I have heard of with this problem. Maybe the threads in that particular hole are worn out(?). Try rotating the motor to the next set and see if you still have a problem. I do find it hard to believe threadlock didn't help. Did you let it cure before the run?

Yes I let it cure and I am using cap heads. I bought brand new screws just becuase it was a new build. The problem with the Medusa cans is the holes are closer together if I rotate the can and they will not line up. I could do that with a Neu, but not a Medusa.

I may have to go back to my Neu to see if that does the same thing. I tried this Medusa just to see how it compared to my Neu plus it was more efficient than the 1512/2D I was running.

out of 10 medusas ive seen run, 9 of them had thread problems. the aluminum/taps they use are crap. i usually just tap them to a bigger size right away, i have 6/32's in the motor im running now, and they loosen up after a race, not to bad tho

That's very interesting- that it could be a design flaw with the Medusa motors. If so, I hope it's fixed soon because I have been looking into their motors.

Shark413, I can't see your picture here at work, stupid filters

big greg, I had thought about tapping the hole to a bigger size, but then I would have to modify the RC-M mount. It seems like Mike made the mount for the smaller size and Neu motors, especially since there is a channel for the cap head to sit in and the screw slots are not the right diameter. I'd hate to hack up the mount for one motor. Maybe I will buy another mount to play around with.
