How do you use TP motors?

[dure16]

It seems like most 40 series TP Power motors have M3 bolt holes but I see them used a lot on 1/8 scale cars that only take M4 bolt holes.

How do you make it work? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here

Different motor plates. Or just buy a scorched motor mount or pps .. problem solved.

Most of the longer cans come with m4 holes or you get an option when you order it. Like all the 4070's from tp website will come with m4 holes, sometimes they have the wrong info listed and it will say m3 but it's really m4. You can also leave a note when you order to make sure they add the one you want.

What do you mean?

Check out the v2 limitless. They offer a 56mm plate to swap out. The standard plate doesn't fit a 56mm

The cap on the shaft side of the motor is removeable and replaceable. They have caps with m3 holes and caps with m4 holes. It's also how you change the front motor bearing.

3mm screws,,,,,,,,,,,I have motors with 3m an 4m holes..here's a tp3650 with 3mm holes

If you order from TP Power USA, on many motors you get the option to choose the mounting holes (M3/M4) and pattern. Otherwise you can always custom order one the way you want.

That’s a pretty big hole, son….

On a stock motor mount? Any chance you have the part number for the motor mount plate with M3 holes?

Thanks. I see they make a 56mm motor mount plate as well as the standard 40mm plate. But neither one works with M3 screws as far as I can tell.

That's good to know. I'd be looking at a 4060 and the versions I want all say M3 screws.

3mm screws,,,,,,,,,,,I have motors with 3m an 4m holes..here's a tp3650 with 3mm holes

Alright that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Doesn't that motor mount plate have 4mm holes? How did you make the 3mm motor work with it?

Yes works fine in stock mount or pps.ive Ren leopard motors this way also since they are m3 only....

Worst come to worst they have a spot where you can leave a note on your order which will allow you to specify that you want m4. If for some reason they can't do it they will email you before processing the order and confirm with you.

iirc you can leave the note at the 3rd stage of the checkout process.
