Noob question about motors
- Thread starter Flyin Hi

The only difference between cw and ccw brushless motors is the threading on the prop shaft. To reverse direction, swap 2 of the 3 power leads and run a standard prop and thrust angle. The only worry is the prop nut loosening, which is solved by using a nylock prop nut.

With my FT Minis I use both ccw and cw props. If you want to run a cw prop you will need to either modify the powerpod for left thrust or fit the original powerpod design INVERTED.
Try to run cw prop on the original powerpod setup and you will have much to repair.
Whilst I aware of the thread issue, (Right /Left hand thread), I have never had an issue because I learned a few decades ago to ensure that everything is tight, (My props are fitted VERY TIGHT)!
Just what works for me!
Have fun!

I knew there was a trick to it. I have so many leftover quad stuff want to make sure I can use it all. So good to know cw motor and prop invert or change angle. Now to finish my builds.
