I had a "mishap" flying my ELEV-8 hex (modified ELEV-8 V2 with HEX kit for V1 added). The outer section of the motor became detached from the inner section and the top bearing fell out and is now lost. I think a R2 size will fit, but if anyone knows the answer or where to find the answer, I would appreciate the help.

    I don't have an answer for the bearing, but you know you can get a replacement motor for the mean time.

    Always good to have one or two on hand.

    fyi. R2 doesn't fit. OD of bearing is too large. going to try a different size from mcmaster. I am going to assume that the axial load (lift) can be taken by the clip on the shaft and the magnetic force holding the outer section down to the inner section. The bearings are strictly standard ball type not angular contact or taper bearings. Though the axial load may be small enough not to matter.
