The Scorpion 22mm series of motors are built with 3mm hardened steel shafts that will last through countless hours of flying fun, but occasionally, on a "Less than Perfect" landing, you may bend or break one. For these occasions, Scorpion offers factory replacement shafts for all the 22mm Scorpion Motors. Motor Shaft Kits include an original equipment factory shaft with the setscrew keyways already cut, a new shaft retaining collar, and a replacement setscrew for the retaining collar.
The shaft for the 2208 series motors measures 3mm in diameter, and is 43.3mm in length. The shaft kit will also fit other brushless motors that require a 3mm shaft of this length. The shafts can be cut shorter with a Dremel tool and a cut-off wheel if necessary to fit other motors.
Note: The shafts in the Scorpion motors are a slight press fit into the aluminum front housing. The shafts will not just slide out when the setscrews are removed. They need to be pressed out in a bearing press, or in a drill press, with the front housing of the motor supported in a block of wood to prevent warping the front housing.
