This is a bit off topic, but how do the lacroix motors compare to the flipsky 6384s? Are they battle hardened? The price difference is not all that big.
Oh good, my TB6374s were getting uncomfortably toasty
I think LaCroix might use Maytech “sealed” motors. The only issues I’ve had with those are the cans slipping on the shafts.
IMHO they are much better than freerchobby motors, but not as good as Boardnamics/Flipsky/Apex motors.
I don’t know if they’re battle hardened.
The 63 series was by maytech yes. But they only have a few 190kv left. After that it’s a full transfer to 65110
Got 200 miles out of ones on a pneumatic build. Little longer on a thane build. All 60ish amps which was too much. They’re junk.
I’d say it’s hit or miss. My 130kv run 90a per motor and they’re still running strong after 840km
haven’t had any real issues with mine on my 20S bro build… yet. But there are better options for sure. Just not cheap ones. I’d prob pick up some of those BH flipshits if I was rebuilt to be honest though.
TBF I don’t ride nearly as hard or as much as I used to
i guess you guys are not selling 12s boards anymore? Does the flipsky 63100 fit on the falcon GD?
i didnt know there were multiples of me
why not?
no idea. if they’re truly 63mm then probably
All hail the Freer Chobby.
From the thread title I kept reading “french hobby”
we’ve gone over this mannnnn
its free rc hobby
Freerch Obby
This is what I’ve experienced multiple times
A retaining ring in one of mine came loose and scared the shit out of me. I preemptively bought a new motor but that wasn’t nessesary. Oof
@Avi just avoid them, they aren’t good the cans like to come free from the shaft, the windings are kinda crap, then there is also the size of the can. From personal experience sealed or non sealed doesn’t really matter, but u want a thick can for the stator. this keeps the motor relatively cool and the cooler the motor that you have the better, since your motors run more efficient and regen braking is much smoother (tldr cooler motors with good windings have nice braking), if u really need cheapness and okish motor just buy non sensored motors off ebay, also @NMSkate has some 6374 motors SK3s. these are ok motors not the best by any means, but far better than most motors. and they r getting rid of inventory $65 a piece + shipping
yeh especially if u buy them on banggood u save like $40-60 usd on shipping
500km with my 63100 Freerchobby and 0 problem…
What area/climate do you live in?
Do you use it as a tool (like commuting to work, for example) or just a toy (group rides for example) ?
Did you oil anything?
Do you live near snow or ocean?
I’m in France in Lyon (no ocean nor snow), normal climate (cold in winter, hot in summer), I use it mainly for group ride but I used it as a tool sometimes.
I even rode my board in the snow at Chamonix one time.
I just put loctite on the shaft’s grub screw and that’s it…
