Carvons v4 need help fixing

What they used u want want. U want single strand it will be easier and better.

Omega sell a single envelop of heat resistant Epoxy
To figure what wire size u either have to count how many wraps and of what size is on now and can figure what u could fit as single strand lrk. And terminate wye is easiest. If u figure the wire diameter and how many turns it’s easy from there

K pmed you

Will try working out exactly what they did

However if I can get away with not rewinding these that would be amazing

Yea U thought they were good to begin with. I think u have to rewind. Could be dangerous.

Sounds like a magnet came loose and you didnt realize that. Maybe the loose magnet is still in place while disassembling so you didnt notice :man_shrugging:
Test every single magnet with some screwdriver or something magnetic.
Sometimes weird things can happen.
Good luck, dude.

will look at all magnets but i think they were ok

yeah @City-Blade-101 the magnets are fine

was talking to @hummieee about replacing the windings and redoing them

will see about how hard it is

what is the best way to remove the stator from the trucks?
thanks as it is really stuck on and dont want to breakanything

i ve seen your conversation with John :+1:
That idea just came to my mind bc a friend of mine had a similar problem with a loose magnet. Could have been the easiest fix then, but fuck, you got a real problem i guess.
@hummie for the win win win !

Yeah
I would love to rewind but issue is I got none of the kit

Are there any companies willing to rewind for you?
Anyone in the U.K./eu wanna do it (will pay)

Does anyone know what copper is necessary for these motors

How wide and links to good one?

There is a company in the Netherlands who rewind motors.

Nic do you know how much they would cost

I found a couple in U.K. but most for big motors and I suspect they would charge a lot

If it is a reasonable amount I would be very interested

Are these the ones you recently listed for sale as “perfect”?

As I said before

I hadn’t tried them yet when I listed I took the original owners word
I did a test to make sure and they didn’t

Gonna close that thread now I know they are dead

@pjotr47 you know how much this Netherlands company would charge?

No idea about costs

Nice thanks

Seems similiar to the U.K. ones so will see what they say

John… a couple of ???s about LRK rewinding.

have you ever accomplished this from the description you gave?

it would seem to me if you count the wraps, and wire gage, and rewound LRK the amount of wire and resistance would be half, as you are only using 1/2 the amount of stator teeth…

A fortune. To rewind I bet.

The hard part is getting the wire off. If u can do that without damaging the stator insulation the rest is easy and cheap. Cheap and easiest is to get the wire off without counting or measuring anything Then get some very thin “magnet wire”and do a version of the lrk winding w it. It will take like 10 min max even if never done before. Run the motor on the bldc tool and see what the kv is. Then based on what kv that got adjust how many loops of wire,”turns”, then rewind with the fattest wire u can fit. And for sure a better motor. U don’t even have an lrk winding which is like the highest winding factor or magnetic circuit. Besides how u likely will get more copper in and this and that

Can confirm…

The epoxy holding the windings on can be a beotch!

I also gave up taking wire out of Tacon 160. It gets jammed even when cutting. Cutting made it harder to pull wire. People do it though. Maybe dremmel through be easiest.
