Flipping the shaft of outrunner motors.

We used a 300 series outrunner for the photos. But the same method is used for most outrunners.

Notice the allen screw in that picture (click it for a bigger picture)? Loosen the allen screw.

Pull on the bell and it will come off leaving the shaft in the housing.

Simply pull the shaft out from the front/flat side. Leaving you with the bell, the housing, and a shaft.

From here Move the location of the C-clip to the end of the shaft.

Assemble the motor with the C-clip resting on the housing/flat end of the motor not the bell and tighten the allen screw. You have just flipped the shaft and you are ready to go.

For those who are using the motors for direct drive you may find the 3mm shaft a little different. The 3mm shaft has two different c-clip locations.

Outrunner Operation

Before connecting your motor to the battery please read the following instructions to ensure a smooth operation of your motor.

1. The motors are brushless type. They require a specific electronic speed controller (ESC) to control its operation. Please do not use the one you used for a brushed motor.

2. Connecting the motor to the ESC.

Connect the 3 wires from motor to the ESC. There is no specific match of the 3-wires., it takes experiment to decide if the connection meets your requirement. If the propeller does not turn in the correct rotation direction, reverse or switch any two wires between ESC and motor.

3. Use only the recommended number of battery cells and propeller size. Over-size propeller and battery cells will deteriorate its performance or even damage the motor.

4. The Type A motor can be switched from a puller style to a pusher style motor. On the case you will find 2 allen screws. Simply loosen the allen screws and pull the shaft out. Flip the shaft over, tighten the screws and you have switched from a pusher to a puller.

5. These are strong efficient motors. To maximize the life of your motor keep the amp draw under control. The cooler you keep any motor the longer life it will have. Also check the sight often as some of the Amp ratings will be going up.
