Outrunners supported/held by the shaft?

Yeah the shaft is moveable to allow you to drive from either the static end or the rotor end. Another tip I learned, when putting the rotor back over the stator, don't allow the field to 'snap' the rotor back on. The impact can take out the front bearing, which really sucks if you just changed it.

Okay, so when the shaft has been taken out, can the stator and rotor still spin, and/or is it supported by something else as well? The project I'm doing does not require the shaft, instead will use something else (a shaft of sorts.... shut up Linc ), I will just have to do it a little differently than I was originally, no big deal. I can't believe no one has tried this yet! (it's a little complicated, but still) Sorry, can't tell you what I'm doing!
