Options for 130kv 8mm sensored motors

I set them on a board, working perfectly …

I prefer my Overion 130kV enclosed (but I think the v2 is with 10mm now … anyway, easy to swap if you really want), maybe eMail Yann to know more. (I used them since spring 2017 !!! Top of the top for me :+1: )

Ooo those motors look nice! To bad the 130kv is out of stock. Hopefully they will be before I get my gear drive. I think I might just find a local machine shop to lathe down the shaft to 8mm.

SK8 have 6 pin sensors! SK3 are different models from Turnigy

Yeah I think I might be able to repair the sensors if I take a look in there. Not sure if they are even broken, I just couldn’t detect.

Oh I miss read your post. I thought you said sk3. Yes I know the sk8 are diffent models. Right now I have narrowed it down to either sk8 130kv or bioboards 150kv.

Thats Maytech based motor vs Turnigy…I got both…130kv Maytech and 149kv Turnigy SK8…I prefer SK8, but it is a matter of personal choice…130kv motors have amazing torque, super fun to ride…

One thing I was concerned about on the sk8 motors is the lower the kv the less amps they can take. I dont know if that matters but I haven’t noticed that on any other motor.

Well that it is actually better, less amps, more torque, more range…Its depends on what you are looking for…

So having lower max amps increases range? I definitely want 130kv because my gearing is so low and I can change it. Even at 130kv my top speed would be 40mph. Maybe 110kv would ve better.

My 130kv motors are in my mountainboard, with chain drive from Overion; 9 teeth motor and 42 wheel…Fast as hell, torque is amazing…For my daily drive E Toxx mini gear for MBS trucks, most amazing feeling and torque, but speed its no more than 50 kph…So gear drive kind and ratio, makes a huge difference…I really like 130kv if you can manage to change motor spur sizes…

The less amps you throw, the more energy you keep to spend…Efficiency vs where to waste (have fun) energy…

I don’t know if I will since I dont have the gears yet. It’s the new spiral gear drive.

The spiral Bevel gears? I think you should ask @sofu, she is the one that have the answers to dose drives…

I think MorrisHsu said he might offer a different size pinion at somepoint.

I do not know, but Sofu knows everything about them, and you could ask her, since I do not know anything about Bevel gears…Also I think they are more suitable for urban use, therefore it maybe a better idea to chose a 149kv motor…but I think that kind of guidance is in Sofus words…

It’s a 2:1 ratio, if you wanna go fast you’re looking at maybe 180kv or so

I’m looking at using the beirgmeister adapters. Even at 130kv top speed is 41mph. But for small wheels agreed

Oh I missed that. In that case yeah

Wait, you understand that at the same voltage a higher kV motor will spin faster than a low kV right?
Not to mention you can pretty much gear the performance of any motor to output what you prefer. It just requires a bit of maths to get the correct reductions.
