I have to pull the head off my Losi M26SS motor and was wondering if there are any torque specs
for the head screws or if you just take them down till tight.

I''m sure there is some sort of technical specs on it, but all I do is just tighten them down as tight as I can get it with out stripping or breaking the tool, in the star pattern and I have not had a problem..

Alright, I guess that''s what I''ll do as well then.

You mean..ENGINE? Motor is electric, Engine is fuel powered..no need to get mad if you didnt know the difference

lol no need to be picky irock. i allways try to tighten mine in an x pattern so it seals good

rcnitrohead

He wasnt mad Irock, star pattern works great on all mounts. There are no specific specs necessary, tighten until snug

I will just get it tightened down in a x pattern then. Sorry I called it a motor instead of a engine.
Thanks for the info.

No big deal at all man, many people mix it up and it's not like someone will die if you confuse them once in a while[8D]

polaris472

That's true and thanks for the info.[8D]

yea i always hear kids at my school calling an engine when they mean motor...when all cars are solar and electric battery powered you can say it all you want and not be wrong!!!

I'm not trying to start a war, please keep your heads on, but it right both ways, boats use fuel and it's called a motor.

If you want to get technical... Motor : A device that converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially an internal-combustion engine or an arrangement of coils and magnets that converts electric current into mechanical power.

Wow, some people here really surprise me... Thats just sad, he made an error and someone told him, just shut it already...

Jeez, good thing the OP's question was answered, because it's so easy to start an argument. Please keep the tone civil.
