FYI, TP Motor news......Changes to face plate!

[MarkF]

Here is a TP 5860 650KV in an Insane 45" mono. This motor has the 6 bolt star pattern. This pattern made me have to drill new holes in my motor mount which accommodated a 40 and 50mm bolt 4 star pattern. I hope they go the 4 bolt route on these motors too.

What length stud do you use or does it vary?

What tool do you use to tighten the nut when motor is in tight areas?

This is attractive for a hull I can use for both p-limited and p mono. Just add a tail ring support.

Ray,

Some answers :

#1] Length of stud is determined by Inter-Ocular Trauma Test : I just stare at a 3mm bolt (in the vice) and when an appropriate length hits me between the eyes I grab the Dremel. Gill is correct ; not so long as to short out on stator windings

#2] 'Cause you're on of my fav's, here some top secrets :

Nut tightening / removal essentials :
a. Home made angle un-nutting / re-nutting thingie (handle+old flex shaft with 7/32" socket goobered on)
b.and most important 7/32" (or 5.5mm) mini-wrench

Mini wrench to apply final tightening or break loose already tightened nut:

BUT WAIT !!!! No need to home-make the flex thingie !!

You're Welcome

Funny Tony..lol.....a piece of silicone tube sometimes helps to start screwing the nut in tight places like in my riggers.Gill

Thanks Tony, Merry Christmas.

What a shame, I love 1 piece cans.

Tony I think you need to do a boaters version of the "Turbo Encabulator."

I'll give it some thought - Right now I'm dialing in my Vac-U-Pickle

I completely agree. The one pc is far superior. Seems a lot of these motor companies are going this direction for cost savings.

I see no reason for one piece can being superior. Lehner has been doing it the old way (precisely) for quite some time.

The only advantage to one piece cans is lower production costs. The front bearing on some is a bear to replace. With a removable front plate bearings take no time to replace and the rotor doesn't have to come out chancing damage to it's wrap.

[Shooter]

Only reason I say that is because the 1pc allows the front bearing area to be machined at the same time (better concentricity). Simple and less parts.

Check out post #7. One piece cans are much more expensive to make. Multi-piece types can simply use extruded tubing for the body. End bells are cheap and easy to make in bulk on CNC machinery. This is a more versatile manufacturing method, easier to respond to orders with multiple length cans. Neu started in business with one-piece cans because Steve believed they were better, but they reduced cost and delivery time by stopping the practice.

Of course, both types will work.

What matters is watts and your abilety to use it, (speed)..What matters is weight and your abilety to make it less... To have the speed you want...As long as you want it..

[Fluid]

Not sure how the post above fits in the thread, but I'll bite. What really matters to many is reliability, efficiency, and cost. For top speed, light weight should not be a goal by itself - to balance lift you may need weight and better to have it in essential parts than to have to add lead. For racing, speed is usually secondary to handling and the ability to finish. Unfortunately, many here seem to be unaware of these, or oblivious to them....
