e-E-Flite Blade CP CX 400-3D > Motor problems

I am using the 3D motor with the 3D kit and 1350 Lipos but my main motor got increasingly noisey...Now on a full charge I am getting no head spead...Not enough to lift off even

I guess the motor is toast or can it be cleaned or what?
Is there a better replacement brushed motor so i can just swap it out or should I just get another horizon Blade motor...It'd be nice not to have to replace the main motor every 10 packs....

Any help or advice welcome

Thanks

Could be, but also check to make sure the shear pin has not sheared. Hold the main gear and see if you can turn the rotorhead assy. If so, replace the pin!

If not, new motor?

Thanks!!!!

It was the shear pin!....NOW
How do I get the sheared pin out of there?

I read on here that some people use paper clips for a pin?

Thanks

They are nasty to get out of the main shaft hehe. I think it took me an hour when I broke mine. I ended up using a sewing needle and a tack hammer, lined it up just right and gave it a wack and it moved in enough for me to push it out to grab with pliers. As for using a paper clip, alot of people claim to be using them, but I couldn't find the right size one myself. I ended up just buying a pack of 6 new pins for like $2 from horizon when I ordered some other parts. For that kind of price why not just use the real part instead of cobbing something in. I tried using a sewing pin the first time and bent my main shaft because it was too stiff.

Pin stuck

Did you take the main shaft out to do that?
i can't get the sheared piece out...I tried to take the head apart and being a newb i couldn't even get the flybar paddles off..I took off the srew up top and the linkages but it still wouldn't come off the shaft?

Pin is still in there...heli in pieces and I'd have to say I'm a bit frustrated

I couldn't remove the shaft untill I got the pin out myself. I popped the ball links off from the swashplate and then lifted the entire head assembly off the main shaft. Then all I had was the helicopter with the main shaft with the broken pin inside the shaft. I tilted the helicopter on its side off the side of a table. Laid the main shaft flat on the table and lined up a pin with the broken piece in the shaft and tapped it with a tack hammer till it came out. It was a pain to get out but after you remove the head assembly you have a little more room to work with. You could pop the swashplate right off from the servo arms and get that out of the way also.

motor problems

If the pin shears with a bit of pin sticking out of the shaft, it will score a groove inside the plastic piece and be a bear to get off.

Pull like heck, make a coupole more grooves up the plastic piece is the only option.

Often, the shaft gets some burrs on the drive side of the hole too. A small file will be required to remove them. The bearing won't come off over the raised metal and the origibal shaft will be hard to get back down too.

The tail motor bushing problem can be solved with a really thin piece of aluminum placed between the motor end bell and the housing. It will be sandwiched in and keep the bearing from popping out as the armature slams the end bell during a crash.
