11XX Motor Guards & Soft Mounts

cults3d

After crashing countless times and destroying multiple 1104 motors, I finally decided to create these innovative motor guards. Over the past year, they have been my lifeline, saving both my motors and bank account from further damage! Stop buying bulk motors and let these 11XX Motor Guards take the beating instead! They are incredibly robust and highly effective during testing. Can't afford a 3D printer? No worries! Get the PLA versions of these motor guards on eBay for a affordable solution. For installation instructions, skip to 23:30 in my Aurora 100 Review and Mod video. Note: These motor guards are compatible with most 1103, 1104, 1105, and 1106 motors, though they're optimized for 1104. If you use 1103 motors, you may need to file down the top a bit. Updates: 9/17/2017: Introduced V2 with a .5mm thicker bottom, extra strength chamfer, and an added hole in the center to access the C/E clip. 9/17/2017: Added V3 featuring a chamfer on the inner edge to prevent the guard from getting caught in smaller motor bells if they break. 10/14/17: Introduced V3 TPU with increased wall thickness and smaller diameter screw holes to prevent M2 bolts with small heads from sinking into the guard and causing it to fall off. I highly recommend trying the TPU motor guards for their exceptional performance. 10/14/17: Added V1 NinjaFlex TPU 1106 edition motor guards, specifically designed for printing in NinjaFlex TPU and use with 1106 motors. This flexible material is ideal for soft mounting motors, resulting in silky smooth flight when paired with soft mounting pads. 10/14/17: Introduced 11XX soft mounting pads that get installed under your motor to prevent vibrations from being transferred to the rest of your quad. With limited testing, these give you silky smooth flight. For best results, print in NinjaFlex TPU and pair them with TPU motor guards. 10/30/17: Added specialized NinjaFlex TPU motor guards for 1102, 1103, 1104, and 1105 motors (earlier update included the TPU motor guards for 1106).
