Post Lower housing cap????
Alright, the other day I was going to remove my prop and I noticed the "lower housing cap" or the piece that screws on to the lower end of the frame covering the lowers seals, was stripped. So bad that it actually fell off. I don't think it can be rethreaded, is there any way to possibly fix this or is this go devil trashed? I put the pic for reference only, I have not taken a pic of my actuall frame yet

Is the housing stripped or is the frame stripped?. The housing can be rethreaded with a thread die and a new housing can be purchased from Go-devil.

I just re read my post. I meant that the frame can be rethreaded with a die, and a new housing can be purchased from Go-devil if you have a frame serial number.

On my old godevil lt it was stripped. I pushed it up on there as far as it would go. Then I drilled it out and threaded the holes with tap. Put a set screw in each side. Held up great and I put that motor through hell.
