Battle hardening motors

Fosterqc · May 11, 2021, 2:36pm

I am curious how this glue was applied in such a precisely small amount right in the corner, on these older BH TB 6355.

Now the motors come like this so it doesn’t matter but I am interested.

Has anyone managed to break one of the newer FS BH motors?

I’ve never had a return

With a long stick.

Isn’t that more or less what @b264 does?

Yes

I rotate the rotor at 1rpm the entire time it’s curing, and use a canola oil coated smooth nylon plug that I turn a degree or two every 30 minutes for the first 4 hours.

I reckon that device deserves its own build thread.

does any one know some good stores to buy motors in the EU?

Komamtb · May 18, 2021, 10:38am

Alien, eu eskating, bioboards

Algaliarept · May 18, 2021, 10:39am

isn’t alien in the UK?

Thank’s
But the nexus boards is in the UK and I live in portugal, anything over 22€ gets stuck in customs…

xsynatic · May 18, 2021, 10:46am

That shouldn’t be a problem. I ordered from ben countless times and never had to pay anything extra.

We also have the 22€ mark.

@Anubis Shouldn’t be a problem?

Last month, I ordered something from the UK that cost 10€ and it got stuck in customs… I had to send the proof of purchase saying the I paid 10€ so that I didn’t have to pay customs
Ever since the UK oficialy left the EU here in Portugal the customs are all over anything that comes from the UK

I’m looking for some 70mm or 80mm motors
I have a EMTB and I want some big motors for it, the one that I have now are 6355

Anubis · May 18, 2021, 12:32pm

I actually ship out a 20 euro “drone brushless motor” so you should be okay

Shawnl55 · May 18, 2021, 10:59pm

Yes, it got smashed into a bump/micro hill on a unpaved road if that counts. Maybe 15mph.

I like your perspective on things!

Would really love pics as it is the first I have heard of!

I am curious:
Has anyone tried using UV Resin for battle hardening?

And: how do you balance the motors after battle hardening? (this is what lead to the idea of uv resin, as I would like to spin the rotor as the resin, which would need to be rather liquid, cures)
