And just to be clear.
I mean putting the MBS writing part facing the inside instead of the outside.
Ah ok, yeah that does seem odd. My apex air adapters also only have three holes, whereas my M1S adapters have more angle adjustments. Don’t know if this will be a big issue for me but I have some m4 taps I’m prepared to use

I determined that its actually the motor gear. The gear mesh gets tight at one side of the motor gear’s revolution and loose 180* away from that side. I also remember that that motor gear slid onto the motor shaft way too easily and i was having issues with it wanting to slide off by itself while i was waiting for the loctite to cure. The oversized hole is allowing the gear to sit off-center on the motor shaft. The opposite gear drive’s motor gear had to be press fit, which is how it should be.

Yeah the three holes seems to be a cost saving exercise. I haven’t used those particular adapters but i did need to advise a customer to try flipping the hanger to make it work. It worked

It’s a starter motor, I think it’s set up where the pinion is splined or keyed but not locked so if the motor is faster than the engine the pinion is pulled out and engages, if the engine is faster the pinion is pushed out and disengages

bit of an odd question but has anyone put a grease nipple into the housing so it doesn’t have to be opened to top up the grease?

if i were to upgrade motors from my BN 6384 170kv to reachers or BN 190kv, the only thing I need to ensure is 8mm shaft correct? looks like 26.5mm length is the standard but i assume it’s easy enough to cut shafts to the needed length
saw some reachers for sale on here but they’re 10mm shaft. no way that can work, right?
any advice is appreciated

Would need to bore the gear pulley out. Could pay a machine shop to do that.

Yeah go for 8mm motor shafts if you want to use the M1-AT drives. Also 44mm bolt pattern (standard).
