The manufacturing process of the carbon parts
often leaves micro-burrs and sharp edges. We
recommend de-burring the edges to minimize
the risks of electrical wire cuts, etc. Very
important in red line zone.

Note 1:

When you tighten the collar (

H0121-S

) on the main
shaft, ensure there is no axial play.
Push down the main shaft while pulling up the
locking collar. Tighten the screw

M4x22

at this time.

Note 2:

The pinion and gear are designed to have zero
backlash. This leads to initial “rough” rotation.
After some run in flights (

3-5 flights

) it will begin to
rotate freely, ensuring perfect contact and the
ability to transmit maximum power.

It is very important to lubricate these two
elements with a lubricant
( Dry Fluids Gear or similar).

Note for 6mm motor shaft

To maximize space for the batteries, it
is advisable to shorten the motor shaft.
Follow the dimensions given in this
drawing. For the cut, you can use an
electric tool like a “Dremel” with a cut­off disc.

Additionally, ensure the motor shaft
has an appropriate 'flat' for one of the
set screws.
