OK since we're talking bout motors it looks like in the process of attempting to remove the stator on one of my Roxxy motors it was deformed. Guess I used too much force with the mounting screws. Before I waste a lot of time taking all the original wire off the stator can the stator be straightened in a vise or did I screw the pooch here?
Motor testing and rewinding info

I no-load tested 4 RCTimer 2830/14 motors that are going on my CC quad.
I plugged an amp meter between the battery and the spider harness. Then used the motor test function with the ControlCopter board to run each motor to max throttle without props.
Below are the amps pulled less the .21amp idling current.
Motor 1: .99A
Motor 2: .75A
Motor 3 .87A
Motor 4 .79A
How close should they be? Did they skip some windings?

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
Buzzed,
I'm not an expert but the tolerances in these things are pretty tight. On top of alignment of the shaft through the bearings and case, there is hardly any clearance between the stators and magnets. A very tiny shard of metal got into a motor of mine and jammed it up! I'd suspect it's done unless you can straighten it out and mic it to see how straight it is.
Good luck,
Bart
