I’m looking at pulleys for the motor. I realize the Turnigy 6354 260kv motor doesn’t have any notches for the screws of the pulley. What do you guys usually do?
cover the motor first. I put it in a plastic bag and tape it up. then file or grind with a dremel alum oxide tip works great! or a cutting wheel if you’re careful.
thanks i’m pretty sure someone else here gave me the idea! lol
but yea a ziplock, and cut the corner off very small! so the shaft can just fit.
then tape like crazy!
don’t want steel jamming up bearings or shorting out coils!
I tried just tightening the screws really tight or even using glue, the pulley still slipped. I’d recommend filing a flat spot like others have said, it has yet to fail me after 9 months.
It was made using a lathe and a drill press. No CNC involved, just drilled the holes using a 3mm bit and then turned down on the lathe. Although i probably could have bought the pinion gear and just made a conical hole in it.
