spacer for coreless motor for PROPEL

thingiverse

I've managed to track down replacement motors for my Propel X-Wing and Propel TieFighter model, but these motors are too small to fit snugly into the housing of the RC models. As a result, I decided to design a spacer that the motor can fit into comfortably. In total, it cost me around 5 euros per motor/model. I've also added cutouts to ensure that heat can escape from the plastic (be sure to assemble them correctly). The propeller doesn't fit onto the shaft of the smaller motor, but a small plastic tube - removed from the electronic cables of the previous/damaged motor - worked perfectly. I've updated my CAD model so that the spacer slides smoothly into the rails of the motor housing and I've also added a small cutout for the O-ring (version 6). The old v2 should no longer be used, but I'm keeping it here for download in case it comes in handy when working on the speederbike. I'm really hoping you're just as thrilled as I am that the X-Wing is airborne again.
