6.1. Adjusting Motor Speed (RPM)

The T238 BL-480 motor features a built-in potentiometer for adjusting the motor's RPM from 50% to 100% of its maximum speed. This allows for fine-tuning performance to match different play styles or gearbox setups.

1. Locate Adjustment Screw: Identify the small adjustment screw on the motor's end cap.
2. Use Appropriate Tool: Use a small, non-metallic adjustment tool (not the hex key) to turn the potentiometer.
3. Adjust RPM: Turn the screw clockwise to increase RPM and counter-clockwise to decrease RPM. Make small adjustments and test the motor's performance.

7. Техникалык тейлөө

One of the primary benefits of a brushless motor is its reduced maintenance requirements compared to brushed motors. The absence of brushes eliminates wear and tear from friction, leading to a longer lifespan and consistent performance.

• Үзгүлтүксүз текшерүү: Periodically inspect the motor for any visible damage, loose connections, or debris.
• Тазалык: Keep the motor free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Pinion Gear: The pinion gear may require occasional inspection for wear. Use the provided 1.3mm hex key for removal if replacement is necessary. Do not attempt to open the motor casing for internal cleaning or lubrication, as this is generally not required for brushless motors and may void any potential warranty.

8. Кыйынчылыктарды

8.1. Жалпы маселелер

• Мотор жооп бербейт:
  • Check battery charge and connection.
  • Бардык зым байланыштары коопсуз жана туура поляризацияланганын текшериңиз.
  • Ensure the motor is properly seated in the gearbox and not binding.
• Reduced Performance/Weak Trigger Response:
  • Check battery health and charge level.
  • Ensure the RPM adjustment is set appropriately (not too low).
  • Inspect gearbox components for excessive friction or damage.
• Unusual Noise (e.g., Ticking):
  • A ticking noise could indicate an issue with internal components, potentially a faulty capacitor. If this occurs, discontinue use and consider professional inspection or contact support.
  • Ensure the motor's pinion gear is correctly meshed with the gearbox bevel gear. Improper shimming can cause grinding noises.
