Weird. Mine are.

Batch 5 drives have this small mistake where those holes aren’t threaded.
I also just noticed the issue with the flipsky motors a couple weeks ago… Could be fixed in CAD but I prefer to keep the slots long as possible in case I decide to make different wheel gears.

I can confirm that the newest batch of drives will have push fit wheel adaptors

So, still curious - what’s the intended use for those threaded holes?

Put a ziptie around the lights itslef. They have a tendency to fall apart

Has anyone installed batch 6 on FS6374 190kv 8mm shaft motors?
Since these have a stepped shaft, there’s a hard stop to how far down you can install the pinion (about 8.5mm min between motor and bottom of pinion). The instructions are 2 batches old at this point, so I’m guessing as to the correct install orientation of these collared/hubbed pinions.
The latest batch (6) came with 20.5mm tall straight cut pinion gears. This includes 16.5mm of teeth and 4mm of collar/hub.
The batch 1-4 instructions have a section which stresses shaft length and assembled distance. This can’t be right for this new style of pinion, as I’ve now discovered.
At my min 8.5mm install height, the pinion ends up outside the case, and therefore blocking the carbon fiber cover plate.
I assume collar down would be the correct pinion orientation, if the motor shaft allowed it.
What are my options here? Seems like I either have to modify the shaft, the pinion, or the carbon fiber plate. Not super excited about any of them.
@moon, got any shorter 10T pinions without this hub/collar?

Looks like you just need to cut most of the round collar off the pinion and it’ll be a perfect fit

Look few posts above. I just installed those motors. Take your pinions to a belt sander and leave 0.5mm of that collar on the pinion.
Also cut the motor shafts down and then loctite the pinions on the motor. Bob’s your uncle.

Apex are now rocking some motors with 8mm shafts stepped right at the base to better suit gear drives

unfortunately not. These flipsky motors… 
Also the correct length so that you don’t have to cut them down
Lol that expression. I have same problem with older torqueboard motors… adaptor plates fixes it right up! Enough space to drop a bearing in for extra support too!

Would love more info on your adapter plate. Custom? Looks like anodized aluminum
