Curious where folks on the stateside are getting their low KV motors.
Ever since my drug dealer cough I mean vendor @torqueboards cut me off the sweet sweet 170s (probably a good thing) I haven’t seen a reliable source for the larger low kv motors (below 160)
Clarifying info:
Size 6370 above.
What size motor?
While not exactly “low KV” - I have been really impressed with the updated Flipsky 6374, 170KV motors that I bought from @Anubis during the group sale a while back. I just did a quick search and FS are selling 140KV “battle-hardened” motors for $81 here: https://flipsky.net/products/flipsky-bldc-belt-motor-6374-190kv-3500w-for-electric-skateboard?variant=35277562937512
Based on what I have seen from their latest motor offerings I would not hesitate to give them a shot. Of course with Flipsky QC is a valid concern.
For $128 you can get the same motors with 1-day delivery on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Flipsky-Hardened-Electric-Skateboard-Brushless/dp/B08L5WDTSZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2RAS7SIPEJ2Z5&dchild=1&keywords=flipsky+6374+battle+hardened&qid=1611419804&sprefix=flipsky+6374+%2Caps%2C275&sr=8-1
It’s more expensive, but you don’t have to wait for slow shipping and if you get a lemon you should be able to easily get a free replacement from Amazon customer service.
EDIT: Not sure if the Amazon link is for 140KV or 190KV both are listed in the title. Better confirm first if you decide to go that route.
FWIW, the 140kv motors are noticeably less powerful than the 170s.
Thats good to know. Flipsky quality had been hit and miss. I delt with their vesc with varying degree of success. Would love it if there were other options but again… beggers can’t be choosers when push comes to shove 
Anyone tired these out? https://flipsky.net/collections/e-skateboard/products/flipsky-sensored-outrunner-brushless-dc-motor-63100-140kv-5000w
Not sure if they’re running yet, but…
Answering my own question…
I went and picked up 4 160kv (pretty sure when i test them they will be more closer to 170) 63100 motors from antinnovation.
Was also tipsy that night when i bought them… Not sure what I am going to do with four
