Wire getting shredded by motor.

How can you stop the wiring coming into contact with the motor and gears inside the gearbox. Just getting in new wires soon and don't want them being ripped open!

Thanks!

put them inside thier designed channels to protect them from contacting the moving parts...

I'm well aware of that and have slotted them into the channels and they still hit the top of the motor. It only occurs where the motor enters the gearbox, also the wires are towered the stock.

Dboys M4 cqb/r, type 2 gearbox I'm pretty sure.

There is no reason for the wires to be caught into the motor in a standard M4 V2 gearbox. If you ensure the wires are in their correct channels it's not exactly possible for them to get snagged by the motor.

When you're slotting the motor into the pistol grip, keep a hold of the wires so that the motor is not pushing them into its path, and that should solve your problem

In a V2 gearbox one of the wires has to cross over from one side of the gearbox to the other side and this is where it can come in to contact with the pinion on the front of the motor shaft
This wire is a BLACK wire in a front wired gearbox and it is a RED wire in a rear wired gearbox
In the channel that it shares it needs to be the lower wire in the channel so as to as close to the gearbox shell as possible and to be as far away from the pinion as it can get
