I just got my Neu 1521's the other day and the shafts are about a inch and a 1/2 long, this is rather awkward for my boat, what do i have to be aware of when i cut them? heat build up ruining the bearings? anything else? i know i cant let any of the shavings get inside the motor so it will be taped up, could cutting the shafts cause it to be thrown out of balance?
Cutting the shafts...

Cutting the shaft won't throw it out of balance unless if you force the cutting tool while cutting. Use a cutting disc with some cutting oil. Don't let the shaft heat up too much while cutting or it will change the temper. Better yet, find a machine shop with a lathe and get them to grind a flat spot for you too!HPR115 x2 ,Dark Horse Shovel, Delta Force CyberStorm, Delta Force Sniper 23-RTR: -

i have access to a machining shop but i dont understand how you would machine the shaft that way? put the motor in the machines chuck and use the tools on the shaft? just use a parting tool ? wasnt planning on a thrust bearing tbh there isnt any play in the motorsHpr 06 / 09 / 150 /185, Mhz Skater H45 hydro.

V, I believe you buddy! No need for a pic. I just had not seen a shaft that long. I have seen lots of crazy things happen during manufacturing processes in the last couple years. You would think that there would be some kind of QA inspection on these motors before they are sent out the door.Comment

When I got my 1521 I couldn't believe how long the shaft was either. I decided to cut it down because the coupler would have looked lonely way out there on the end. Dremel cutoff wheel worked great and also Dremel to grind a flat spot on the shaft.Comment
