    It has a keyway, so you could use that and a set screw.

    Not sure I would manage drilling and taping a thread in that motor shaft, I dont think pressure enough against it would suffice the forces

    Maybe start a build thread ? then list links and everything....you found a good deal on the motor from the looks of the price.

    Very well, I was torn between keeping this a dump all opensimwheel or a new build thread. I know this isnt specific to simtools...yet.....but it is sim-related and going on my simtools simulator

    Hi @bberger and thanks for the update. I built my OSW with VSD xe and i use the MMos firmware 98.1 . I tried to download the 0.99 but i am not able .
    could you give us access to this firmware.

    thanks
    Eric

    The mige does have a threaded end so with h or l type bushing i believe i can use the lesser expensive option. Unfortunately i ordered a 19mm and need a 22mm.

    For everyones reference....I used the following coupling and it fits super snug on the motor shaft and only cost me 13$....I used a dumbbell in my office to punch it dsown on the shaft. I will attach a round pice of steel that will then attach to my quick-release.

    Here is the shaft coupling.


    Here is the quick release I am using.
