50s work pretty well for the most part but for a heavy person it will over heat quickly even on the flats.
My 6355s barely get warm even after 20 miles of riding.
Raptor 2 could cook an egg after only a few minutes of riding and I’m not exaggerating at all I’ve burned my self too many times to count by touching the rear truck.
I’ve wondered this before as well, but not tried it.
They don’t have that range. The manufacturer lies.
it should help if the surface of the mount is rough, for me the mount and truck are almost at the same temperature as the motor, when using the 5055 I could easily burn my hand by lifting the board by the rear truck
No.
Anything that is a good absorber of heat (matte black) is also what’s called a “black body radiator” and is very efficient at emitting heat too.
31 miles at an avg speed of 5mph XD
on perfectly flat ground, like a river road, with a tailwind
I know that. That’s why I said advertised. BUT I have ridden with their ambassador who gets great range…I always wonder if he just puts in a new pack each time and then installs it into new boards shipping out afterwards 
Maybe not 31 but trusted people on Youtube usually get around 20, no? To me that is pretty good coming from my lipo packs.
Maybe on the gtr’s. Yet to be really understood whether those things actually work long term but the original evolve gt batteries will give you range because after 10 minutes of hard riding they go into eco mode and hover boards make you their bitch.
Mm true that. But with better batteries the 50’s still seem to pump mad watts
And get hot and bothered. Even Evolve have realised this and will shortly be giving you the option for 63mm motors.
I’m a big lump and I just can’t see the benefit of small motors. Bigger the better. Better cooling better longevity. Its a no brainer. If we are talking the benefits between can lengths then let the games begin but 50 to 63 there really is no comparison.
Fair enough, I guess the only benefit falls to smaller low powered builds then huh
They are lighter too
6355 for the win in smaller builds.
Kinda late to the party, but yes thermal paste certainly does help with temperatures. I have tested this before.
Anodizing is a porous layer where air can get trapped. Even if the plate is not anodized, thermal paste will bridge all the micro imperfections on the motor surface to plate surface.
Lightweight and small sized? Cheap?
Use short fat ones then. Skinny is never the answer. We need booty.
Not just size motor. Type magnet (round/bar) as winding copper make important. Can have big motor bad magnet or small motor good magnet. Make difference.
Team work with byd for making motor in car and bus. Is lot thing that make good motor from not size.
My buddies do get 30ish miles range on their old Evolves but they all have 30q batteries and they are light guys.
I start with 6374, and now use 6374 130kv from yrs, as 6380 150kv and 6384 80kv more recently.
Expect power, they are good to me.
Lighter, smaller, so more compact, as in their amps asked ^^ cool for elec. and small batt … imo
YEs if you want to stress them they get hot but … they’re like 35/40€ / motor !
