Motor screws

[Krea]

So I used the screws from the kit but noticed the motor came with screws too. The kit screws are a little long and are visible in the motor but don't touch anything. Is it okay to use the kit screws or do I need to pull it apart and switch screws.

Also, the bearings on the TT that is in the front are stuck and not fully on, any ideas now that they are stuck?

I always recommend people to read forums like this to avoid problems that others have experienced. It was mentioned in another post that the screws in the motor kit were too long but the proper screws were in another bag. Definitely do not use the longer screws or you can ruin your motor.

I don't know anything about your kit but if the only stick through the aluminum but are clear of all motor parts you are fine ... I actually like a bit of meat hanging out ... but if there is a better length in your kit I would use it ...

3 of the 4 holes in the motor have plenty of clearance. And the one where the winding leads enter is really close and can be hit. I didn't notice that when I rebuilt this last time after a crash and hit the winding. It seemed to spool up just fine so I did my maiden flight. Got up about 50 feet and heard the ESC shutting down the motor. I managed to get it back down on the ground and heard 3 beeps coming from the ESC - Motor Anomaly. Pulled the motor and found some burnt windings. I checked the screw holes and saw the one which the leads enter hit by the screw. It wasn't much.

Thank you for bumping this thread as I am the new owner of the OP's helicopter.

It looks to me like the long screws are still in there and that they clear all the motor windings. That said, they do use up about 3/4 of the room that would be clearance if the shorter screws were used. Looks like a quick job to change to the shorter screws.
