Should I reglue my magnets on my SK3?

stgdz · Feb 11, 2012, 07:12 PM

Got this 35-42 800kv in my edge EXP. After reading some of Dr Kiwi's stuff on the SK3 I am now doubting my decision and I pulled the bell. I am running a 50amp esc with ubec on a 12x6 Xoar. I pull about 550watts at 39amps. Anyways, I have attached some pictures. The adhesive looks like it is in place but I was curious if anyone this I should re-apply it. I am kinda on the fence since I don't want to throw the balance on the bell.

Also one of the windings was loose, does it matter or should I put a drop of med CA on it?

Hey! the motor bell has locating tabs for the Mags.. What's the perceived problem?
And the windings, while still fairly crappy are not nearly as 'Bowl of Spaghetti' typical of the Chinese motors..

The sk series was notorious for throwing magnets, in Dr kiwis review of the sk3 in appeared turnigy used some of the building materials.

Like I said I haven't found an issue with the magnets but. I don't want to find one in the air.

I don't think wicking thin CA around the magnets is going to affect the motor balance. Should provide a little piece of mind with no ill effects.
