A while ago I bought motors and a custom battery from Hyperion LLC…we all know what happening there, and as it stands I have a battery set to arrive Monday but it’s uncertain if I will ever get the motors. I am really hoping to get those particular ones because they are 170kv sealed and pre-hardened MayTech 6374s.
Should they not arrive I will be in search for another pair of motors, what are your recommendations? I will buy during the Black Friday sale so those would be the relevant prices
Needs:
190kv or less…I don’t wanna die from speed
63mm can diameter…forward mount means clearance issues
sensored…I’ve run unsensored and I hate the feeling
<100mm length…the inner face to face space on my mounts is 200.1mm
<$300 shipped for the pair…58% more than I’ve already paid
Wants:
sealed…less maintenance is preferable
prehardened…I can do it myself but I’d rather not have too
MayTech grade or comparable…everything is already nice, I don’t wanna drop the ball on the last part
Not sure, I think there was a thread a bit back on the old forum. Maybe someone could start one here and get community input. @agentdev recieved some 200kv motors that measured at ~170 or so.
don’t believe they’re hardened but looks like the bearing is typical with other motors
Need an opinion for a problem, geometry is a bitch!
I got enough room for my battery and ESC with space left over for light up toys and fuses and what not, but the BMS (ontop of the battery) is higher than the enclosure, by about 3/8"… Do I just route a pocket in the deck so it sits in it? Also what should I use for padding on the battery? The main body of the pack sits at the lip of the enclosure when there is nothing underneath, I was thinking craft foam on the enclosure and Velcro on the deck
Long story short, I bought a battery and it doesn’t fit, what do?
I’m thinking I move the BMS to sit under the ESC and shrink wrap the whole thing (just phase wires and sensors on one end, and antispark with charger on the the side…and I guess the aux line on the far end) I’ll have space for it and it’ll be a nice wrapped block…only 3mm to spare lengthways, and -2mm to spare on the top
Is it bad to set the ESC and BMS heatsinks against each other and shrink wrap it all together? I’m thinking a plastic spacer to keep the batteries from rubbing
I’m gonna guess a hair dryer to mould out the plastic isn’t possible either. What about cutting the back or front off and extending the enclosure in some way?
Hmm, I guess that’s possible, get some Kydex and use it to patch the gap? But all that does is let me have the ESC at the end, still doesn’t help height. I really don’t wanna have to put a giant spacer underneath…gotta have some style right
