Glue that holds in motor

JCarter · 03-09-2012, 11:46 PM

I'm replacing my frame this weekend and just curious what the black glue is that eflite uses to hold in the motor. If nobody knows or has any suggestions for what they have used as a substitute that works, please let me know. Thanks

a little dab of hot melt glue works and its easy to remove for motor replacement

I just use Elmer's White Glue. This is what was recommended on the included DVD. It holds just fine, but comes off cleanly when it's time to change the motor.

I use liquid electrical tape and it works well on other stuff

A sudden stop like in a high speed crash can put alot of force on the motor, It would take some thing more permanent like an epoxy to keep the motor from moving but that would make changing it or the frame a problem.

Mine moved after a heavy landing.I tried ordinary silicone and it just melted with the heat.Then I remembered I had a tube of Shoe Goo and tried that.Just a small amount applied down the joint between motor and frame with a small flat bladed screwdriver does the trick,and it doesn't look unsightly.

The motor stays put now,and it will remove easily when required.

The liquid electrical tape works and holds up pretty well to the heat.
