Vertical Play in 600mx motor - possible problem? Vbar Governor input glitches

Hey.

Glad you got your motor sorted out. I've had to change MX bearings a couple of times now.

One observation, the red JST plug is that for your BEC? If yes I'd advise changing it as the current rating isn't very high on those connectors.

Cheers Ian, Yeah it seems the 600mx bearings do need regular changing as with most motors i suppose...

That red plug is just for the hobbywing rpm sensor not a BEC (I use a direct life pack with ec3 for that).. but thanks anyway =)

A little update, replaced both bearings with new ones from rcbearings (85p each) and after some faffing about managed to get the motor back together. There is almost no play at all now its much better/tighter.
Something worth noting is the tolerance is so small that if a bearing was to fail or even half fail your motor could do some damage to itself so i'd say don't use it with bearings that are failing.. the can only has to move a tiny bit one way and it will catch the stator!
Cheera guys :-)

Awesome mate!
