Re: Banebots 545 outer sleeve ?
The "sleeve" is called a "flux ring" and is intended to provide a magnetic path to keep the flux closer around the armature and improve the interaction between the field of the windings and the fixed magnets in the motor. If you remove it, it will reduce the power of the motor. By the way, if there is a gap in the ring, it is better to position it over one of the places on the motor where the magnets are located.
