1717 6mm shaft question - RC-Monster Forums

Hello Patrick,

Was wondering if you had any sort of trade in program for those of us who got the 1717 motors with the 6mm shaft? I did "turn" mine down to 5mm but would prefer something factory done...

I remember this being mentioned a while back but I cannot find it.

Big thanks to the CC team!!

What is the bolt pattern on these motors?

Pretty sure its standard 25mm spacing, also pretty sure it uses M4 bolts for mounting.

I wouldnt worry about the home-brew 6mm > 5mm shaft, so long as there is no slop in the pinion on the shaft, and the shaft is uniformly 5mm ( not shaped little skittle at a bowling alley )...

Yeah, 25mm spacing, but not sure on the bolt sizes, might be m3 as I did not have to buy the m4 thread size for my tdr lst motor mount.

Yeah, mine is not quite perfect, and I would like a 5mm shaft as that is what they were "originally" spec-ed for when AI bought it. The grinding was just a quick fix so I could use it.
