Infraction CHECK YOUR TP ENDCAP SCREWS

[K-BASH]

Pay close attention to your TP endcap screws.if they back out motor will run super hot an burn if not caught in time..since I've been running high kv motors it seems to be worse. I just ended up super gluing mine since I don't plan on ever taking them apart..I've noticed all them are loose an think 1 of my motors was perminity damaged from this...motor was smoking hot an now doesn't perform as well as it once did

I've had this happen twice now but no damage. Definitely a good tip

Good tip. I Loctite all of mine prior to installing the motor in the car. Most were barely hand tight.

some of them come barely finger tight. I Remember when I first noticed it and just loc tite everyone That comes without thinking now. Opens tp box, loc tite screws, solder bullets
