4pole output shaft?

[im2tall]

Does anybody know the diameter of the output shaft on the Castle 4pole motor?Im not sure if it's 3mm,or 5mm?

the castle 36mm (540 sized) can motors are all 3mm so far

Thanks Will,I wasn't totally certain if it was a 540,or 550 size being it's a 4pole!!A few other manufacturers use 550 cans with 4pole and 5mm shafts!!I wanted to make sure I didn't need a new batch of pinions!Thanks again.

I do know that in some cases they are actually both 3mm and 5mm...Case in point....Castle 1410 (3800kv, 4 pole)

3mm...typically sold with the Castle SCT Sidewinder combo

5mm....typically sold with the Castle SCT Mamba Max Pro combo
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBKDW&P=7

I know this because I wanted to toss a 1410 in my Savage XS...they only run 32 pitch....so I need the 3mm shaft...

Hope this helps....Bart

you can get 32 pitch gears in 5mm shaft size.
I didn't realize castle had some 3800's in 5mm. Good to know.

Novak makes some from 12 to over 20 teeth
There are some others too, but Novak's are easy to find tower and most any hobby shop can get them.

Just re-read my post....I am such a dolt....

What I meant to say was the Flux XS only will take a 48 pitch pinion....I was having troubles finding a 5mm/48P pnions....

When I saw your post I was all excited....until I realized I goofed.

Kershaw will custom machine parts too so if you ever need anything they are another option besides Mike Hesse. I tend to ask Mike first, but that's because he's been so good to work with over the years.
