Covering up 2200kv Tork breath holes?

def mounting holes. you can see the threads in em.


neu motors have huge openings on the ends of the can and most here cover them both up. as long as you gear correctly and monitor temps the first few runs, you will be fine

So are they dedicated breathing holes or are they just left over mounting spots that air/dirt/dust can get in?

They are just mounting holes -- they are there for non-HPI installations. (HPI sells the torque motor separately.)

Thank you Pat, so i'm not slowly destroying my Tork by leaving them open to the air to suck in dust? Their covered up behind by the endbell cover? Sorry, I just don't wanna screw this up, I just want to prolong the life of my Tork motor either way.

It should be fine. We haven't seen a single Torque motor damaged by intake of dust, etc. There is a piece of FR-4 on the backside of the mounting holes which covers the back of the holes (it was originally placed there to prevent people from damaging the windings with long screws.

I like this feature, even though I always visually check screw length you can never be too careful!

Brillaint idea, IMO. I killed a Tekno Neu by not double checking my mounting screws. $105 mistake, that was

Well, I went ahead and put some small electrical tape pieces to cover them up and well see how it goes.
