Floater Motor Mount Fix

by Zatoichi | June 22, 2013 | (9) Posted in Tips

Well it looks like my motor mount has come loose. This is not the first time I've had this happen.  

It seems like the glue that they choose to use is not quite strong enough for this particular application. 

 If you get yourself an AXN,just go ahead and pop this motor mount off and glue that sucker back! You will be glad you did. Pry off any old glue from China. It will help keep your thrust angle the same.There are four holes in the foam to hold glue pre drilled. Pull glue outa here too. 

I like epoxy.It holds stuff together.=)

Squeze...

Mix like crazy...Use enough glue.     Try and keep glue off of the motor wires as you will want to be able to change them out from time to time..(also CA glue will make the silicon wires crumble)

Fit the motor mount in place.             Wipe up any extra glue.

We use painters tape and rubberbands to hold everything in place.

Better than new!
