I recently received quadcopter motor thread caps for a product review. Although these are listed for the P3, I used them for my Xiro Xplorer V.
These thread caps are designed to cover the motor threads when you have the propellers removed. If you transport your quadcopter in a backpack or case, the caps can prevent damage to the inside of the case.
Bare motor (no propeller / thread caps) |
Thread cap installed |
From what I can tell, they seem to be 3D printed material and feel pretty light but not cheap or fragile. The caps were very easy to install, just a simple twist (in the correct direction depending on the motor rotation). Once installed they fully cover the threads, but they don’t add too much material to the end so it shouldn’t cause a problem unless your case/backpack is a very tight fit with no room at all.
Thread caps all around |
Bottom line: Simple to use caps to protect your quadcopter motor threads.
