Alternative motor???

Looks nice!
How come it's black anodized? Are the endbells pressed or are they held by screws?

How much play does the shaft have? The ones I have here with the 1/8" shaft have a lot of play and that's not good. I guess the place you bought it from knows what they're doing and sent you the correct motor. The factory just started out bad in my case . I'm waiting for the correct 5mm shafted motors to come in and I'll definitely pair the controller with them. The black motor looks nice, I'll ask the factory if they can make them blue for me .

The play is about 1-1.5mm....

I emailed them about the shaft diameter even before they could send it to me...luckily you mentioned it on this thread

I will try and take photo of the endbells...I must say this is something new to me...I've re-wound brushed motors and break them to their guts but i have never opened a brushless motor....Im just hesitant to break it even before i could test it....

I should be able to run some test maybe Wednesday or so...

You will need to make sure the front end is tight or else the moment you apply the throttle, your motor can will spin and that might cause some damages. My 15XL that I got from Hobbycity had that problem and I had to epoxy the fron end before going out to run it. The 45mm motors I got, the front end can be unscrewed very easily and one had about 3mm of play and the other almost 5mm of play. Good thing I have spare spacers.

The front end is screwed on and the ones I have will need to be glued as well so it doesn't come unscrewed. The rear is held by 3 screws and it seems to be glued as well.
