a week ago i bought a  xy 500 reptile frame from quadkopters...

great service.

i have a question on motor mounts on the arms of the frame.

i found motor mounting hole to be of different sizes...attaching a pic for the refrence...

not sure about the reason  though

also m not sure how to mount the sunnky sky 2212 980 kv motors???

hello @maddaquif
well the hole size is due to chinese clone its not for any type of motor as per my knowledge correct me if am wrng well reagrding the motor mounting on these arms most of the copters i made were on 2 screws ( was lazy u can say )  well it wont affect till it doesnt generate vibrations ,for mounting motors you can screw them or else you can use motor mounts and ziptie them
all the best

i have purchased multiple items from quadkopters i.e. satya sir....and  every time the products were satisfactory as the products are of fairly good quality..

Only this time i experienced this issue, seems like a quality control glitch or some thing.
i have emailed satya sir with the images....lets see what the expert has to suggest...

@cyberhack...thx for ur reply n pm...
AFAIK ...zip ties will generate vibrations in the longer run...which is highly unacceptable in my case...

A related question..  Is there any provision to fit the standard 60mm camera rails on this frame?

@medicineman....I don't think its possible....

again depends on your power setup and weight of the "standard 60mm camera"

No no..  U misunderstood.  I didnt mean a 60mm camera.  I meant the two 10mm rods that are put under the frame from which the camera gimbal/battery tray hangs.  The distance between those 2 rods is a standard 60mm for most frames.

@medicineman.

can u post a pic of what exactly do u mean?

any suggestions on this motor mount issue.....this  has actually stopped my build

Hi aquif,

Why are you not responding to my question?

Kindly please do so over email.

satya sir thanks for your responses...

I didn't receive your email...coz they landed up in the spam folder for some reason.

just saw your msg on tinygrab and replied on emails as well

No problem

I am always prompt with any question from any customer. So if you dont hear then just send the mail again. I would definitely respond to it. And at the end we can reach a solution which is suitable for you and me (both)

no wonder QK is the best

I wish other LHS follow this legacy.

So i went ahead and tried to send in replacement for the arms. But i came to know that all the arms have some holes. I did sent the question to supplier and they said "Thats how it is and every frame that has that arm would have same kind of holes. There would not be any problem in mounting screws and it would hold the motors perfectly"

I was out yesterday whole days so i could not get to test, but i will test with couple of motors with regular M3 size screws and update if there is any issues with mounting motors over it.

I personally have tested the arms and found that it's causing no problem in using the arms while mounting the motors. And there was no problem at all, the screws where fit and tight. You can use some washers if you want but does not seems to have any problem in using them
