Operating Instructions
1. This brushless motor requires a sensorless brushless speed control
(electronic speed control or ESC). Failure to use the correct ESC may result
in damage to the motor and/or speed control. Please refer to your ESC
instructions for correct settings.
2. Where needed, install included 3 bullet connectors (EFLA248) on the output
wires of your ESC using solder and heat shrink insulation (to prevent short
circuiting). The 3 motor wires can be connected in any order to the 3 ESC
output wires or output port on an ESC.
3. Make sure the motor turns in the correct direction for your model.
Change the direction the motor turns by changing the connection
of any 2 motor wires on the ESC.
4. Make sure the motor is mounted on the model to ensure good air circulation
during operation. The motor generates heat when operated at maximum
power. The user is responsible to ensure the motor does not overheat. Over-
heating the motor is not covered under any warranty.
5. Never cut or otherwise change the length or size of motor wires.
Remove connectors by heating and removing solder.
NOTICE: Changing the motor wires is improper modification
of the motor and may cause the motor to fail.
CAUTION: Always keep hands and loose items away from the
propeller when the motor is connected to power. Failure to do so could
result in injury and/or property damage.
Motor Mounting: X-Mount
Illustrations show installation of an X-mount on the motor.
1. Loosen setscrew on X-mount.
2. Put X-mount on motor’s fixed outer main shaft housing.
3. Tighten setscrew to hold the motor in X-mount.
4. Attach X-mount to firewall of your model using 2 included screws (M1.5X8).
5. Attach propellers to the motor shaft with the included O-ring (straight or
twisted in a figure 8 over propeller with loops put over screw heads) and
a propeller size adapter (2 adapters included).
M1.5X8
Changing Shaft Orientation
1. Loosen 2 screws on the front of the motor. Apply heat directly to the head of
a screw to free the screw from threadlock applied in manufacturing.
NOTICE: Applying too much heat or applying heat to the whole motor can
damage the motor.
2. Remove from the shaft the small black E-clip that rests against the bearing.
Wrap the motor with a towel to capture the E-clip when it is removed from
the shaft.
3. Push the shaft through the motor. A small hammer is required to lightly
tap the shaft.
CAUTION: DO NOT bend or damage the motor shaft as injury
or property damage may result.
Replacement motor shafts (EFLM1141) are available for purchase.
4. Keep the shaft in the motor by installing an E-clip in the groove on
the end of the shaft and tightening 2 screws on the front of the motor.
NOTICE: A small amount of threadlock may be used on the screws.
DO NOT use a large amount of threadlock that can get in the motor.
