How do I install/remove the motor?Updated 2 months ago

 Remove and install the motor only in a clean and dry environment.

Tool & screws needed:

  • Torx Key TX20 
  • 3x M4x10
  • Medium-strength Threadlocker (e.g. Loctite Blue 243)

Steps to remove and install the motor:

  1. Remove the motor bell.
  2. Detach the three screws.
  3. Carefully pull the motor out in a straight line to avoid damaging the connector and to maintain the waterproof seal between the motor and the ESC.
  4. Insert the motor into the ESC connector of the new mast. Press firmly to ensure a secure, watertight connection. Make sure the motor seal is properly aligned when sliding the motor back into the pod!
  5. Apply medium-strength threadlocker to the screws (Loctite Blue 243 or equivalent) to prevent them from loosening during use.
  6. Insert the screws back into place and tighten them securely.
  7. Attach the motor bell back onto the motor. Be careful with your fingers - the magnets are very strong.
