Screws for Align 430L brushless

Doubledog · Apr 17, 2012, 02:21 PM

I snagged a deal a few years ago on an Align 430L 3350kv and have now decided to build up one of my kits. Problem is I don't have any screws that will fit it. First thoughts were its a 3mm but nah, not it. Tried several other SAE screws etc and can't figure it out.

Anyone have a few laying around (and just possibly making a trip past the post office) that you could drop off for me?

I'll buy ya a six pack of Coke, Bud, Dr Pepper,....

Thanks,
Jr.

It's always good to stack things up and take calipers and measure the length-though-bore of any motor mounting.

Of course you always want good thread engagement, but too long a screw can protrude down into the copper motor coils...which then consider your motor ruined.

Thats what it is..... 2.5mm diameter. Dang, I've got a ton of 2 - 6mm stuff but not in half sizes.

Thanks for the input as I can get those locally-!
