Really? At high rpms?
I haven’t done bell yet cause I’m worried about vibrations…

There are so many ways to do this…
And they really, truly, all suck fucking dick.
Completely impregnating windings takes some fuckin work. Make your epoxy slightly thicker than usual? Even fuckin harder. That’s only to be attributed to the current state of my little bitch arms, but still…
Does impregnating the entirety of the windings with my thick white spooge all the way to their core matter? I dun fucken know. I do know I’ve seen burnt/snapped/loose windings tho, and that can’t happen this way…
I’m going to post some pics of my latest work whenever I wake up along with a services interest check. Hopefully it comes back to be financially retarded so I don’t have to think about Butter’s creamy goo ever again.

I can’t quite tell what you are eluding to, could you be more specific?

My true secret to battle hardening…

would it be possible to vacuum bag the stator with epoxy, after removing the thrust tube (or whatever that thingy is called)?
Someone very experienced with battle hardening motors on the efoil.builders forum used to dip the stator into a jam jar full of epoxy and then vacuum the glass to force the epoxy into the windings. When it starts to gel, he took out the stator and let the excess drip off.
But I guess you will pay the outstanding robustness with some increase in temperature.

Working on my first set ever
Made me a nice scraper and finished it with a wire brush. Works like a charm

Oh yeah. Not to mention. Use stainless steel to scrape off the dry epoxy

Coool, so you just smear it without caring if it gets on the magnets and just scrape it off later?

Less temp when vacuumed as there’s no air “hot pockets”.

That’s the easiest way, no problem.
Ah, good to know!

This is the big issue I have with the slather it in and then run the circumference with a popsicle stick a fuckload of times… So many airpockets…

Yeah. Popsicle sticks isn’t what I would call the most efficient way BUT heck. Whatever you can get inside those gaps is better than what you had before right

Scraping off magnets is probably pretty easy and they’re so hard but scrapping off from the stator it’s possible to mush laminates together increasing eddy current pathway and heat.

The vacuum thing seems like a dumb method for esk8 purposes. Isn’t going to save a magnet from breaking. That lathe method seems dank as fuck and I wish the lathes I have access to resided in my basement so I could have the time to do that…
Pay no attention to the hall sensors w/o epoxy in this pic. One of my phallus shaped objects had too much girth for these smaller motors, had to fill those gaps in after the fact and haven’t taken pics yet…
Should charge extra for the butt puckering involved with using creamy spooge over those big fuckin bearings…
@b264… If you look berry closely to the right, you can see the 13AWG print…
