A protective cover designed for the 60AIM40F motor. Recommended for use with a heatsink attached to the back of the motor, where it gets the hottest during operation.

## Compatibility

This cover connects to @thearmpit's experimental 60AIM40F motor ring. To use it, you need to replace the nuts in the motor ring with M5x20 coupling nuts, then screw the cover onto the motor.

<Note>
  You must replace the standard nuts in the motor ring with M5x20 coupling nuts before attaching this cover.
