I have a novak 13.5 brushless motor that the rotor seperated and slid off the end of the shaft. (it's in one piece, like a drum) I was wondering how they are bonded together? Or do I need to buy a new rotor? Motor temp is only 95 degrees after a 6 minute race. So I know it's not getting too hot. Can I use jb weld to put it back together?
thanks

I never heard of that happening. And lately Novak hasn't been to concerned with customer service.

I'm pretty sure that rotor is shot.

had the same problem tonight hahahahah







first time it has happened and it was a low time motor as well all i done was cleat up the mating surfaces and used ultra thin ca and slid them back together and ran the ca down between them ran for a short time i no i got it hot cause it thermalled and it is fine no problems yet

hope that helps

Yeah, i think THIN CA can fix it. put plenty on, and slide the magnet on. let it cure for plenty of time, and dont use accelerant, it wont make as strong a bond.

it should hold, just try to ease into the throttle smoothly rather than slamming. it probably came off from rapid acceleration.


hope it helps! Cheers!

yep! tunes had the same thing. I felt the rotor and it feels like epoxy or somethong like it was used. As for getting on the throtal easy,,,,not going to happin... I race on a small tight blue grouve track. I need the punch. I'm going to try JB Weld. It's used for high heat applications. I'm ordering a new rotor but I'm going to see how this works. Thanks for the help guys.
