Well I'd use red-loctite... but what about like just putting tape over them? Like electrical tape, or something more sticky like gorilla tape?

aluminum HVAC tape works great! It's sticky as can be, very thin and it's aluminum so it will not hold any excess heat in

Hence the loctite :mdr: You could use electric tape also. I did it last year on my Flux but it looks really tacky.....

Hmm actually red loctite isn't a bad idea considering the heat and vibration that motor is gonna put out. I actually just checked my blue loctited screws and they wern't very attached at all, which surprised me.

I'm gonna put on some red loctite and see if they stay on tight and let you know what I find.

Hey FREEZE glad to see your back at it!
What about just using a little high temp. black silicone?
The red thread lock is apita to get back apart if you ever decide to use that motor in another build or decide to sell it.

I suppose you could do that also, it's just gonna look crappy IMO. My Tork motor isn't going to be going anywhere either

Silver Aluminum tape saves the day again, IMO.
I do like the grub screw idea but for reasons mentioned I wouldn't be able to get the possibility of them creeping inside out of mind.

Well Sweet Dreams then Bondo. LOL

Red Loctite is Permanent, and only softens when heated in excess of 500 degrees.

I would think Blue Loctite would work well for this.

If you want the "middle of the road" between Blue and Red, Green is the middle choice.

Welcome Back Mr. Freeze. :yes:

if i were you freeze, i would get those set screws out immediately. you will not be able to get them out once it hardens. trust me, blue is enough. if you want to use this motor for anything else or sell it, you're screwed.

You could replace the endbell with the Castle repair kit in the event the screws can't be removed.

Glad you are continuing your thread here on RCM.

1. Likes the set screw idea ... going to put tape op my motor tomorrow, never thought of it tbh.

2. Greased Lightning :D ... it works awesome, have to find that around here to, I hate purple.

3. Servo spring saver, will upgrade it as well. I don't want my precious DS1015 to get harmed.

4. Steering ball bearings .. will look into that as well. Think I will tear apart my Savy and give it a good cleaning and check up. I hardly even check anything because this monster never stops running.

Like Bondo said, ++ on your pics!

(aka : Good Luck and Have Fun)

Already tried blue and it didnt' hold worth crap.

Looking into it I realized that I would only really need to plug one or two of the extra mounting wholes on my castle motors. Mikes mounts cover most of them, that and the traxxas mount covers all of them on the 4x4. The ten t has the best coverage with the newer style motor mount. The Raze-E has one obviously exposed, but it is in a place where I can just stick a short button head screw in it and probably call it a day.

Which in you case Freeze seeing as HPI uses the floating mount you could have probably just used short button head screws instead of the grubs. That way you can stick with the blue loctite and not have to lose the mounting holes if you plan to use the motor in another application.

I won't be using/transfering the motor to anything else so im not concerned with that.

True if you could find the right size hex head screws that arn't very long, that would work also.

Shortest I could find, I am sure they make a 3x3 though.
