help!what motor screws for 9xl?

[cornolio]

i purchased a feigao 9xl months ago but when i tried it on my emaxx ,the 3mm motor screws were loose.i tried a couple of hobby shops but they couldnt provide me with one that fits.i talked to a guy there who tried 9xl before and told me that he used 3mm screws .where can i get screws for it?

Any hardware store should sell a good range of metric & imperial screws- take the motor along with you to check they fit. Just make sure when you mount the motor, the screws dont go in too deep and touch the windings- trim screws or use washers as needed.

thanks.i also have mod 1 pinions for my 9xl.but forgot what spur/clutch im supposed to use for my emaxx.what spur /clutch system do u use?btw its 3906

The stock spurs on the emaxx are 32p, so unless you switch to an aftermarket slipper assembly with MOD1 spurs, those MOD1 pinions will be useless...

i brought my 9xl motor to a couple of hobby shops and number of hardware stores but unfortunately i still cant find the right screws for it.3mm is very sloppy and 3.5mm wont fit

"fastner" is just a generic term that is used for screws and bolts..you might be able to find some at Homedepot or Leows, you could bring the motor into the store and size it up there, I have done this before with other projects I have had

ill try that tomorow,thanks

Honestly it sounds like the feigao motor's hole's are stripped or starting to strip. I say this as because I just drilled & tapped new holes in my feigao 7XL the holes are 3mm x .5 thread. So ya your titan motor screws should fit, I suggest going out and buying a cheap drill & tap metric set they come in handy big time with rc stuff, not just for aluminum they work on plastic too.

If you want to stay with mod1, use a monster gt spur - they are direct fit and are mod1. Tower says they are 32pitch but this is incorrect info, it is mod1.

just wondering, did you buy this motor new or used??

someone may have sold you a motor with stripped screw holes, if so are the other 2 screw holes stripped as well, you will have to retap some new threads in the end bell
