How to Open a Pro-Boat 1500Kv Motor

[DBJr]

Hey Ken

I have a Pro Boat 1500kv motor I'd be willing to unload if you need one. I pulled it out of my Shockwave 26. It is used but still in decent condition. PM me if interested.

I'm not sure if you figured this out but it's not terribly difficult to do. 5 things that will be useful:
1 secured bench vice.
2 A nice pair of channel locks.
3 some sort of padding to help reduce/prevent marring.
4&5 two allen keys that fit in the cooling vents of the front end bell without being too loose.
Place the two allen keys (I used short ones that go into a 1/4" driver) in the vice at a spacing equal to the spacing on the front endbell using the motor as a guide, tighten the vice. place the padding or cloth around the end of the motor. Open the channel locks and set them in the appropriate slot. Use your left hand to place the motor on the allen keys secured in the vice and grab as close as possible to the rear of the motor with the channel locks in your right hand, its not necessary to use the entire with of the channel locks. Mine broke free fairly easy with the channel locks, i couldn't manage to do it by hand alone.
