Technical Performance
The BLH Motor Mount Set represents careful engineering designed to ensure your Blade Fusion 700 helicopter motor operates at peak efficiency. The two precision 8x16x4mm ball bearings are sized to deliver smooth, low-friction rotation whilst supporting the motor's load throughout your flights. The M3 fastening system provides secure, repeatable installation without over-torquing that could damage plastic components or strip threads. The motor mount itself is engineered to maintain precise alignment of the motor shaft with the helicopter's drivetrain, critical for smooth power delivery and minimising vibration during operation. The lower pinion bearing support works in conjunction with the motor mount to create a rigid yet balanced assembly that can handle the rotational forces generated during aggressive flying. The inclusion of frame washers demonstrates Blade's attention to detail, as these distribute mounting loads evenly across the helicopter's frame to prevent stress concentration and potential damage. Built to Blade's recognised standards for RC helicopter components, this set combines durable materials with precision manufacturing to ensure your helicopter performs reliably flight after flight. UK RC helicopter enthusiasts and pilots will appreciate the straightforward approach to maintenance that this complete set represents, eliminating the frustration of sourcing individual components from multiple retailers.
