a thread in my brand new CC2200 malformed?
 

one of the threads in my brand new CC2200kv motor stripped when installing it into my new lx-1e.

i have had at least a dozen motors and i know how much force it takes to strip a m3 mounted motor. i didn't even put any real force on the screw at all before it stripped.

btw, ofna uses those retarded 2.87m screws for their motor mount. i tossed them aside as soon as i took them out of the package. i used genuine, high quality m3 screws; the same ones i use for all my vehicles and motors.
i can still use the motor, but it doesn't sit right in my buggy now because i had to rotate the motor on the mount.

is there any way i can get the front endbell for the motor without ordering the whole repair kit?

Well yes there is. :yes:

You could rotate the motor 120 degrees just by removing the endbell and rotating it instead.

Its just $25!! lol Everyone needs spare bearings in their tool box.

true. you can never have too many spare bearings

i'll just rotate the endbell like sike suggested and if i strip another thread, i'll go ahead and order the repair kit. i don't think i'll ever need the rotor though. the motor rarely hits 130F. that is the best price for a full repair kit i've ever seen, and that is including standard, 540 sized motors.
