Rewinding back plate style motors, a tutorial.

[Foam Addict]

Have you ever bought a turnigy 2830 motor? If so you are probably very familiar with what happens in your first or second crash with that motor. The wires are chaffed against sharp metal, and quickly break, leaving you with a useless paper weight and several wires that used to be attached to your motor.



Now, if you have some money to spare, this isn't a problem, you can just go buy another motor and wait until it burns or breaks and then repeat the process.

I don't, but I do have some basic tools and a spool of magnet wire. With a little skill, you can have your motor rewound and reassembled in around an hour.

To start, you will need these Items:

Motor
Magnet wire (http://www.gobrushless.com/shop/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=catshow&ref=magnet+wire+newbie gobrushless newbie wire is pretty good)
Soldering iron
Gloves
Vise grip

If you are working with a 22mm stator (28mm motor) you have a choice here. If you were content with the performance of your original motor, then 26g wire works fine and is easy to wind. If you have some winding experience, then 24g wire will significantly boost the efficiency and performance of the motor.
So, if you're ready, let's get started!
