Did a quick 4 mile run and these definitely don’t have any punch but they are solid little motors for sure, also the 9.9Wh/mi is just

Not counting the damage to the strator winding, the rotor is in pretty typical condition when it has that giant hole in the bottom to let all the water in. Mine was in far worse condition when it got so rusted it almost couldn’t turn and my rotor is fully enclosed.
A soak in vinegar, and a later replacement of the magnet adhesive later and it works at like 90% now. Also despite using two motors in the exact same weather conditions, both of my motors were also wildly different condition and rust wise.
I’m not defending the company but just wanted to share that had the winding not had issues that the state of that motor is easily fixed, and that it is not weird to see one motor look way worse than the other when used on the same board.
The rust can cause this issue too, but I think you figured that out already lol
i’m shocked the enclosure isn’t just laying on the ground lol
Are these obtanium?

Kinda, Unlimited went under so Loaded is selling their stock but once they run out that’s it

Yep, motors can be salvaged. I rebuild my out runners regularly, but that motor was trash. There was so much rust the screws holding it together had to be drilled out and it took a lot of force to open after that. I’ll keep the bearings…
It appeared to be used heavily in the rain. I’d personally never use urethane in rain (or ride in rain) if given the choice. The board will be destroyed if it isn’t prepared for water.
Went back to belts.

How do open the hub? Remove green plate → remove sleeve → 4 screws around inside edge of can → give 'er a tug?
On an unrelated note I feel like your BKB mounts could do with some washers on the motor mounting screws

4 screws around the edge of the can- thats where you might have problems. They are Phillip’s head which is extremely easy to strip here if your motors are crunchy.
Washers would be an improvement! But it’s been fine like that for many miles. I didn’t bother to remount the motors. This whole thing was reassembled with very few parts since 90% of my parts/tools are in storage. Definitely made going back to belts harder.
Off the top of your head do you know what screws the face mount and can screws are? I’m doing a big hardware order for 3 boards so I might as well get those too
Any interest in extra parts related to these hubs 
?

Luckily mine didn’t have the screws rusted in place although they were put together with weak screw heads that stripped easily. Also I had to get help from someone else and we had to use some very creative methods to finally get mine apart, but thankfully no fingers were harmed in the process. (had to hold something in place and hammer the motor right next to my fingers)
I ride in the rain out of necessity but I do agree that it is not a good idea to do so, and that it is even dumber to do it on smooth urethane wheels that have no grip when wet.
I’ve got the same mount and was planning to add lock washers to almost all the screws on the motor but it is good to know that if I can’t add them all it should be fine. One screw has to have a washer in between the mount and motor to align the motor properly and I don’t think the bolt has enough length to be secure if I added the lock washer up top.
The motor mount is basically permanently attached to the hanger with the only way it might come of being with a press hence needing to find another way to fix the slight alignment issue.
