Default RE: A metal part came out of my Hacker A60-7XS motor - advice.

Hi,

OK guys, I have zoomed in to the pictures that Andrew took of inside his A60-6XS and I think I have found the metal part and where it is mounted.

It seems to be the clip that is on the outside of bearing on the part that carry the windings (the stator), see my zommed in picture below.
Notice the rounded end of the clip, just like on my clip.

So what is the purpose of that clip?

Can I safely run the motor without the clip, at least for maybe 10 more flights?

That clip is obviously not safe, at least not in my motor since it came loose by itself.
A clip like that that come loose can damage the windings for sure.
