Kraton esc mount on my kraton

[IdanKraton]

so after my thread about my kraton that caught on fire i ordered the hobbywing that some of you suggested, and now i have a few questions, i realize that one metal pin on my motor is missing (i include picture), can it be the reason it caught on fire?, and can i keep using it again on 3S only? (as i did until the day i tried 6s), and my esc won't fit to the plastic mount..how can i mount it? the 3M didn't hold at all.. and one last thing, my typhon screws (on the motor mount ) are really tight and i cant get them to unscrew i think the seller locked em with really strong locktite, what can i do? (i don't have heat gun)

That motor connection won't hold. Simple as that. You could band aid it temporarily but I wouldn't. It needs repairing/replacing. Have the quick runs got the mounting holes underneath like the ezruns have?. If so trace it, pick the holes up and screw it onto the plate. Threads on here about doing it. Motor mount pins will need heat or you may ruin it by snapping the pins etc have you a soldering iron? In a pinch sit a candle under it for a while just to free it off. Good luck

high quality 3m tape should hold, did you clean both surfaces with alcohol first (rubbing alcoho) not Bacardi you can always try to screw-in or put a zip tie around it as a backup.
I would replace that motor terminal.

You can cut the plastic ridge off the mounting plate to give you more room to mount the ESC. Clean the surfaces well and put a ziptie around the ESC/mount.

That very well could be a reason for the explanation to the fire.

For the bullet question: (Heres' a guide.. I would recommend a 888D, Metcal, or Thermaltronics soldering gun)

For the seized bolts, I would recommend SeaFoam Deep Creep. Best to spray it on the seized bolt, wait 2 hours or so. And try to remove. If that doesn't work.. you can try Vampliers or Engineer PZ-58. The nuclear option would be to clamp your beloved RC car to a bench/floor standing drill, and drill the screws out. Kinda dangerous, you'd probably have to buy a new engine mount. Edit: Do you mean the pinion set screw.. ? Cause there's some other methods to try to get that off..

Like others mentioned, replace that messed up bullet. I personally use Shoe goo to glue down my ESCS (hobby shop gave me that idea). I have yet to have an ESC come loose using that method. Even during bad crashes and jumps

That ESC has 4 holes under it for screws. Trace them out and drill in the ESC plate.

Just need to solder on a replacement 4mm bullet. I agree just grind off the lip on the esc plate. I used hefty servo tape for my Max6. You can also zip tie or mount with the holes as mentioned above.

i use my dremel to cut a slit on the top of stripped screws so i can use a flat head on them. ive done this on almost every screw on my kraton at this point and replaced with stainless steel machine screws.

Need a new motor connector. No fixing that. Why fool around. Cheap enough to do it right.
User error got the best of that motor bullet connector some how. IMHO.
