Hi all! I’ve been working on a Thor and have a question about the way ;Art56GearPlate attaches to the motor ring. There is an M5 bolt that attaches to a nut in the motor ring. A bearing is supposed to allow the gear plate to rotate while the bolt stays fixed but when rotating in the right direction it unscrews the bolt attaching the gear plate to the motor ring. How do you keep this bolt from coming unscrewed from the nut

Hi Scott!

You are right! And it’s my fault, I didn’t specified that the M5 nut used there is a Self-locking Nut (like this one). I’ll change it at Component list.
Using this kind of Nut the bold won’t be unscrewed by itself!

Best regards!
