Installation of Pinion Gear
It will be necessary to install the pinion on the
motor shaft.
Wheninstallingmotorsintoyourvehicle,itisvery
important that the gear mesh is correct and the
gear’s mesh is smooth with no binding. The vehicle
motor mounts usually feature adjustable slotted
mounting holes so that you can ensure the gear
meshiscorrect.Remember,ifthemeshistooloose
ortootight,itmaystripthegears.Onesuggestion
may be to insert the polybag included with the
motor or a small piece of paper in between the
pinion and spur gear as you are installing them.
Tighten and secure the screws to the motor mount.
Always make sure the screws are long enough so
they have properly seated into the motor. You can
easily remove the polybag or paper by rotating the
shaft until it comes out. Be certain to check the mesh
at multiple points on the spur gear before finalizing
the motor mounting position.
Operating Instructions
1. This brushless motor requires the use of a
sensorless brushless speed control. Failure to use
the correct speed control may result in damage to
the motor and/or speed control.
2.Whenmountingthemotor,besurethecorrect
screw length is used so no damage is done to
theinsideofthemotor.Wesuggestyouusethe
mounting hardware included with your original
motor. The use of long screws will damage the
motor and void any warranty.
3. You may connect the three motor wires directly
to the controller with solder or use gold-plated
bullet connectors supplied with each motor. The
three motor wires can be connected in any order
to the three output wires or output port on a
sensorless brushless speed control. Be sure to use
heat shrink tubing to properly insulate the wires
so the wires will not short. Shorting may damage
the motor and speed control.
4. If you use the supplied connectors and you no
longerwishtousethem,nevercutthemotor
wires. Remove them by properly desoldering
them. Shortening the motor wires is considered
an improper modification of the motor and may
cause the motor to fail.
5.WhenyouconnectthemotortotheESC,check
the rotation direction of the motor. If you find the
rotationisreversed,switchinganytwomotor
wires will reverse the direction so the motor
rotates properly. Consult the instructions included
with your sensorless electronic speed control for
proper adjustments and timing.
6.Propercoolingofthemotorisveryimportant
during operation. New technology has brought
much higher capacity batteries with higher
dischargerates,whichcancauseextreme
motor temperatures during operation. It
is the responsibility of the user to monitor
the temperature and prevent overheating.
Overheatingofthemotorisnotcoveredunder
any warranty. Never let the motor get above
180 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cannot touch the
motorfor2seconds,itistoohot.
7.Oncethebatteryisconnectedtothemotor,
please use extreme caution. Stay clear of the
rotating shaft and pinion gear. This spinning
shaft can be very dangerous as the motor
produces high amounts of torque.
8. Never disassemble the motor. This will void any
warranty.
