Hello,
I recently had a motor burn out (smoked) from a bad esc. I replaced the esc with a spare, however the only spare motor I have is for the opposite direction that I need (shaft thread direction). Since I'll be waiting a while for the replacement to arrive, I was wondering your thoughts on swapping out the bell housing from the burnt motor to the new motor? My thought is that while the windings/insulation on the burnt motor are definitely unusable, the housing/shaft/magnets from it might still be good? That way I could get by with the correct thread direction til the replacement arrives. Thoughts? Bad idea? I thought about just using the opposite hand motor and wrenching down real hard on the prop bolt but I wonder if it will hold. If it matters, these are armattan oomph velvet motors
