Looking to buy a new set of motors as I’ve cooked my last set. Looking for somthing equal or greater in power to my last set of 6374. Interested in the Radium 6355 as they seem to be much smaller and lighter than the Flipsky. However I’m curious how much less or more power they would produce, and how well they dissipate heat in comparison. Is it worth it to get the 6355 or should I just opt for the bigger set?
(Radium if ur reading, make a medium size of your motors 
)

Reacher is going to be better than Flipsky, by far.

In terms of power/heat dissipation? Bc I run my Flipsky at 110a even tho it’s rated for 85a. Do u think the smaller motors could hold up?
I wish I had money 
. I blew all my grandma Christmas money on a set of precision trucks

I haven’t used Reacher 6355 size specifically, so maybe someone else can chime in.
But in general, Reacher beats Flipsky in every single category except cost. They perform better, have factory QC, last longer, and retain higher resale values.
Flipksy is cheap. That’s it. Lower performance, no factory QC at all, don’t last as long, and don’t retain resale value as much. And you might get a dud.

if you have the money, i’d go reacher 6485’s or some 6465’s from skp over the 55’s. the 65’s actually do pretty good

I’m gonna say something different here. I have experience with Reacher (SKP) 6355, 6365, 6385, and Flipsky (Boardnamics) 6384. I’ve used them within manufacturers specified max amperage in 12S, didn’t crank the amps higher than that. They have been all working fine, except the Reacher 6485s developed some clinking noise while free-rolling that I don’t know what is causing, even after taking the motors apart, inspecting, and cleaning.
For the most part, same size motors from different manufacturers produce very similar power. The motor’s power output is determined by the stator and the magnets, and it’s not like Reacher can pack in more copper and magnets into a smaller volume than Flipsky can.
According to the manufacturer’s websites, Reacher 6355 in 12S is rated for approx 1450W, 6365 for 2000W, 6375 for 2700W, 6385 for 3500-4000W. Flipsky 6384 says its rated for 3500W. These are manufacturer claimed specs and not numbers I measured, but you get the point. Same size, same power regardless of the manufacturer. With Reacher, you are paying for qualities other than raw power, like reliability or resale value that other members of the forums are more experienced with. My N=1 Flipsky pair has been great.
Finally, if you cooked your last set of 6374s because you were dissatisfied with its power and cranked the amps beyond the rated maximum, you will be sorely disappointed with smaller motors whatever the brand. You just have to save up for bigger motors (and make sure there are no other bottlenecks like battery/ESC).

did you swap out the bearings? if it’s clicking and you cleaned everything out, that’s probably what it is.
i’m pretty sure the reachers cool much better than the flipskys especially if pushing them hard

Naw I was very satisfied with the Flipskys (besides weight). I cooked them bc of some newbie building errors

If you’re after 65 or 75mm length versions of our motors you can dm me. They won’t be the lastest version but I can get our latest sensor system put in.
Performance is proportional to stator length, so you can subtract the length from our 6485s 50mm long stator and multiply by the difference to get an idea of performance.
Example: 6475 is 10mm shorter than 6485, stator is also 10mm shorter so 40mm. 40/50 = 0.8 (stator is 80% of the length) so for 205kv 48V multiply 7026W by 0.8 = 5620W peak

I see why your named Tony stark 
Tysm, I’ll fs take u up on that eventually!

You are probably right. For now the “tinkling” is not obtrusive enough (Artem wasn’t worried about it) and the motor spinning smoothly that I’ll wait until it is more problematic… Watched the “how to” video by Radium on replacing the bearings and there are a few deeply seated ZZ bearings that may be tricky to get out. Groan…
You can always send it in to me and il swap out the bearings
