Looking for 190kv 6384 Unsealed Motor Options

I’m waiting for new parts to arrive before I can test them, maybe in 1-3 weeks :man_shrugging:.

The APS 6384V2’s are red, only the 200kv is black.

It’s not easy to pick a reliable and good motor, I had many so far. Most have pros and cons. APS are by far the loudest motors and Trampa/SK8 the most quiet in FOC. Closed Maytech are punchy so perfect for aggressive riding which is not possible with Trampa/SK8. On the other side closed Maytech’s didn’t last long, I had many broke ones, 3 of them had internal shorts after some weeks.

Actually I use closed Maytech’s again (220kv) and they last since 2 months which is amazing (no joke). I guess it’s because of battle hardening the stator and can.

Edit:
I slighltly prefer 10mm shafts (with step down if needed). I had almost exactly the same crash twice on exactly the same spot. I knocked the motors in reverse into a concrete wall in skate park. The motor with 8mm shaft was broke, it was locked up, shaft totally bent and magnets broke/crushed. The one with 10mm shaft survived, the shaft was slightly bend but the tiny wobble was no problem until I killed the hall sensor.

I can’t get the photo to load from this link but they’re listed as 6384v2 and 200kv

They ought to be black though? Image load for anyone else?

I have some :grin:

I bought some of the new 170kvs - the came with red/orange ends. Not sure if they have 190kvs like that or the black ones above tho.

edit - RE reliability, I had some issues with my one of my old 6384’s. broken magnet, and started having detection issues after over a year of use. Only on AT tho so not like I was slamming them around on small thane. They sent me a totally new can with unbroken magnets after I reached out to them tho. Took awhile to get it tho.

Man I was just reading through your thread about to tag you here. Thanks for jumping in. I’ll definitely be battle hardening these.

I too need to do this to the new guys I just bought. Gotta re-watch the tutorial and buy some epoxy.
