I use one of the these and it works great. Let me find the size. Genius. Can’t find rn but they usually come in sets and are as cheap as @Zach 's cologne.

Remove the adapter and use a 17 or 19mm wrench. Then it’s basically loose, might need a rubber hammer to force it out.

Not based on me though, I’m still figuring it out.
I now have four working 56kv motors which is cool in case of failure.

Let’s see if we can get a left handed thread on the right axle.

Will still loosen on hard braking, no?
NO… ONE motor one part… properly fixed I’ve had zero probs…

probably not… all the motors presently are the same, and all failures I’ve tracked are from the right-hand side motor can…

I didn’t have any motor can unscrewing problem cus I’ve always had the original factory Drives. The loose cans are clones. The only problem that I had with lofty was the right drive will unscrew the nut holding it against the hanger making it have free room to rotates a tiny bit every time I hard break. By turning the thread on that axles nut to a left harder screw, hard breaking will tighten the nut keeping the drive on instead.
Seems like most ppl on this thread has already gotten their lofty Drives / clones. Can I get a head counts on ppl who are interested in getting rkp or dkp original factory Lofty Directdrive? It will probably be around $200-250 for a set landed in the US. Honestly I think these will be great for a 4WD setup with lower spec VESCs too.

True about the can, but I found my left adaptator’s screws (and pins) loose after a while!

Got my drives in today, they seem quite well made. Its the clean cans, however it seems like they put screws in the threads.
I know i know the board is backwards and the wheels arent on there correctly, was just a quick setup on how it looks.

Might be bad photo angle, but the can on the right has a gap between end cap and the can. Before mine unscrewed, that gap did not exist. My replacements have no gap either.

The cap came unbolted, so i just loosely put it on, you have a sharp eye 
I will also take a look at the inner cap tomorrow if thats what you meant actually, good find too but i suspect its the set screw that forced it backwards or something(i hope).

I’d be in on that deal ($2-$250 for the set).
Congrats! Check the bolts on the wheel adapter…mine came barely hand tight and others received them with Loctite already in place.

That a good way for customers to stay alert
In the end it’s not a bad thing for DIY

I’m not a fan of 25mph surprises, so I have learned not to assume things were done right from the factory.
