I am getting to the point of finishing the electric fuse for my take-a-part Barnstormer. I decided that I would use a rear mount for the BadAss 2320 860Kv motor. All fits fine but the BadAss motor has a shaft sticking out the end when rear mounting (it was set up from the factory as a front/rear mount). This would be fine except it extends into the fairly short battery (tank) area on the nose of the Barnstomer and hits the battery if a TP4S 2200mah pack is used. I may need this size pack for the larger ship as I don't think the HobbyShack 5S 1600mah will have enough reserve compared to the smaller Ringmaster that I have been using it in for the OTS pattern.

Question is what have others done with this motor shaft? I guess it could be cut but not sure if you need to remove it from the can to do that?

Best, DennisT

With AXI motors I have cut off the excess. Put the motor in a plastic bag, with just the shaft sticking out, and use a Dremel cut-off wheel.
I would do the same with a BadAss if required.
With rear mount be sure to put the included wheel collar on the shaft, don't rely on just the little circlip/e-clip to retain it.

Pat,
Thanks for the baggie idea, I think that will protect the motor. Will do the cut after the collar.

Best, DennisT
