UPDATE: Do NOT buy motors from @dickyho. They ship with manufacturing defects that will damage the motor and potentially other electrical components in your build, such as your ESC/VESC. See the bottom of the thread for more details.
Hey guys,
Well my cursed board hit another snag. One of the 6354 motors I purchased from @dickyho had faulty solder points on the hall sensors. I’m hoping that I can fix the motor but we shall see. First step is to take off the motor housing to get to the PCB.
I’m not trying to say anything bad about @dickyho but it should be noted that the quality assurance of these motors is lower than ones you might purchase elsewhere.
Check out the “HFI sensor mode” in the newer firmware versions. It’s even better than sensors. Then you can just cut all the sensor wires off and have a perfectly good motor in your hand.
I repaired a very similar motor. Was easy but I do own a pair of circlip pliers.
I found the reason my sensor wires pulled off was because the stator shaft was rotating because the locating pin either fell out or wasn’t there. I epoxied a new keyway in when I reassembled it as well as soldering on new hall sensor wires
Thank you! Really appreciate your sharing these photos. Once I get my circlip pliers. I will investigate the locating pin when I open it and potentially epoxy a new keyway as well.
Got the stator off the shaft, but cannot get the stator off the back motor casing. Looks like the locator pin is missing on mine too and the designated ridges on the motor housing and inner stator bore are misaligned. Do I just torque-twist this thing off?
