Hey,
I did a quick search and didn’t find a thread on this topic. I found this video about battle hardening motors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MFjzSP5Oiw
Is this a good method for e-skate as well? Anyone has a better way of doing it?
PS: A long time ago when I first saw this youtube channel I thought this guy was @mmaner
Yes, you should battle harden the motors. The method shown is a good method.
You can also tape the magnets and/or 3d print an insert that covers the bearings and allows for epoxy into the gaps of the magnets.
I feel attacked, I’m much better looking and my southern accent is far more attractive.
That’s a very well put together video! Makes it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!
Why the f… nobody read my threads

Do you do all that to your motors already??
That’s exactly what happened to one of my TB 6354 motors. Sensor stopped working and I wondered if battle hardening could help with that. I guess you answered that question.
I’m having a bit of trouble visualizing this (the 3d printed piece that would help). Would the epoxy have to be in an almost liquid state for this to work?
I really like the way @DerelictRobot showed me by taking the can off and attaching it to and drill so that you can spin the can as you drip in ______ (no idea what he used lol jb weld? J/k)
Not at all. If you put the right thoughts in it a 3D printed spacer would be a pretty good idea.
The problem is that the loctite spin idea only works if there is way too less epoxy between the magnets and the loctite can run under the magnets.
The board you riding in the videos, how heavy is it? I can barely get the nose up from my board if i try to turn from a standstill. I rarely do it because getting off,picking it up and adjusting it is far more efficient compared to me trying to jump and turn the nose.
Yeah
I haven’t tried it but @anon54720240 has got a point. Didn’t think about that 
Worth a shot though for science.
Back to gluesticks and toothpicks
The white one? 15-17kg depends on which battery is mounted
What’s an alternative for Glass Microspheres? Amazon Canada doesn’t have that. Maybe just epoxy with nothing in it?
This is true. Ultimately I only ended up doing this on motors that were lacking a thick line of epoxy, just to gap fill. I’ve found that ultimately nothing works better than a precise epoxy solid fill between the magnets.
sweet i hear about this motor treatment the first time,
for the purpose of esk8, is it important to also do the stator side ?
Why not? I‘m really curious. Never used some, but also don’t get why not.
No, not 6374…
6384… and i don’t mind a bit of epoxy on the magnets. It’s a 2min job to remove after the epoxy is fully hardened. As min with the one I use.
@akhlut did the most beautiful job I have seen so far and that without need to use any tape or stuff.
But really, with battle harden it’s just what works for you. There are a lot of ways to do it and even if it takes one hour…it still save you lot of troubles later.
