I wouldn’t consider these drives water-proof or even water-resistant. The sensors are not coated. And the bearings are NOT water-proof, they’re SHIELDED. not SEALED.

The motor bearings do… They’re not sealed on my drives.

so all I gotta do is coat the sensor? Assuming the motor itself is waterproof since from what I read that typical motors are okay with water. PLEASE forgive me if I’m wrong. NOOB HERE.
The rubber is quite hard this put me off at first, but after nearly 100km on them I am used to them. They have less drag than Pneumatics but softer than most thane. Speed is insane with these but still torque enough for hills. I am out of action for 6 weeks due to a 45kmh fall. I am still going to grab some 120mm cloud/iwonders.

Negative Ghostrider, please reread my post you quoted!
@Movation
sweet, that’s awesome to hear!
Was this with 2 motors? (not 4wd)
And what was your vesc and battery setup like?
Hope you heal fast! ToT
2 and 12S4P VTC6 CELLS.
I think mine is a 72RPV mat be 58
Vesc is a flipshite 6.6 plus.

what was your vesc settings for battery max and motor max (each motor)?

so I’m left with unity or them tramp vesc. $$$
Got my 58kv last week. Finally got it installed and it fell apart after only 1 mile of riding. Looks like the can is coming undone. Any suggestions ?

interesting. Is your axle nut on tight?
Based on what I see, if the nut it tight, it should be holding in the bearing > wheel > adapter > motor can. And would have no physical space for the can to come out? :o

I had this very same issue as mentioned to @Esk8supply and @kenna11, can endcap unscrewed from the can in less than a mile after installation, what I did was to completely disassemble the motor, then I fabricated (3d printed) tools to hold the can and screw into the end can, at first I tried loctite blue, (you can still see remnants on the can cover threads.
It didn’t work! I finally ended up with a heat resistant epoxy on the threads and tightened the fuckers up as tight as I possibly could with the tooling I made…
So Far so good ~200ish miles

Ya looks like same issue as me. I went ahead and tightened it up. Going to wait for it to loosen again before trying loc tite or epoxy.

nope the axle nut only holds on the stator, the endcan can, and indeed will unscrew quite easily… I advised @Esk8supply and @kenna11 of this defect.

It is tight ya

good luck, tightening the end cap was problematic because of can shapes. First occurrence was within a mile, disassembled the motors loctited the can. second occurrence was again within a mile, think of the torque being applies to those threads!
On one side acceleration will tend to loosen them, on the other side braking will loosen them…
good luck bro!

All end caps should be treated with locktite. Hope you got yours running again with the replacement
