5095 Motors Thread

[murdomeek]

One major advantage is that this motor has a support bearing. That means the can is supported on both ends. Regular 6355 (and 5055, 5065, and 6374 except the SK3 and SK8) motors have cans that are supported only by the shaft on the butt end - and thus they’re much more susceptible to being damaged by impact or heavy vibration due to the leverage applied to that single connection point.

do the popular sealed maytech motors have dual bearings as well?

[MysticalDork]

No, they don’t to my knowledge. Very few motors do (I only know of three off the top of my head: SK3, SK8, and this 5095). There’s quite a bit of extra complexity and space involved in fitting the extra bearing, and for airplanes (That’s what these motors evolved from) you don’t really need it because airplanes don’t generally spend much time rolling down bumpy roads.

[whaddys]

It’s also smaller in diameter which can allow it to be tucked away into smaller spaces closer to the wheel/truck than a 63xx motor, allowing more stealthy or compact drivetrains, and/or smaller wheels/pulleys/gears.

aren’t you also trading off though for a wider wheelbase because these motors are longer?

[MysticalDork]

Yeah, that’s true too.

Only if you put two on each truck. I have more skates with 1 motor per truck, or 1 motor period.

[whaddys]

good point, forgot about that =/

[Sn4Pz]

I’m just waiting to see how @deckoz mounts his and I’m gonna copy it

I have no shame. I want a good setup, and I know I’ll get one if I copy him

[Tamatoa]

Do you mean dual diagonal? I’d be interested to see a build thread on that if you don’t mind.

or this

[whaddys]

say goodbye to your kicktail tho

[ducktaperules]

also may-tech 6880

[moon]

I did tell you!

[wafflejock]

You know what they say about a motor with long wires… They have a longer shaft (queue the porn music)

[moon]

at least they didn’t cheap out on that department

[wafflejock]

Yah better long than short really adding little extensions is kind of lame IMO

[ducktaperules]

How much did 4 set you back?

[Brenternet]

Rather long than short!

Battle hardening them? Give us the internal rundown?

[BigBen]

With shipping for 4 shipped they are 87 each to the states.(72 *4 +60 ship)

Pretty good for this size stator in my option.

Further up

[moon]

Yeah open them please @deckoz

[torqueboards]

What moon said.
