LRP 6.5 Screws Threaded

[col300]

Hi,

I have aquired a used LRP 6.5 brushless motor, however the three long screws that hold it together are completley threaded. I've tried threadlock but it hasn't worked and it just keeps coming loose.




Does anyone have any idea's on how i can repair it?

thanks in advance.

sounds to me like somone had stripped the threads, so you looking at a new end for the motor which i doubt is an option or spare part

i did that the other day to my motor, i think what Mark says is pretty much right

A friend of mine had the same thing happen, so he glued in M2 threaded rods and filed the front end of the can so that it would accept nuts.

It works and doesn't even look dodgy

Hi I think he considered my solution for this problem.All you have to do is to glue M2 threaded rods in the motor and mill the frontplate a little so the nuts will not be in the way when mounting the motor in your car.
