With all my experiences with sensors, unsensored BLDC, and sensorless HFI, I will still pick sensorless HFI as the best in my opinion for street skateboarding. If I had bindings and/or rode in the woods, it might change my mind though

Yeah but the HFI thing still need a bit of development time to work flawlessly and easy on every motor.
Still hope it will be a thing for mtb applications too, but for now it doesn’t look like unfortunately

Yes, I notice this too. But so far I am very impressed with even the first versions. I do have some motors that work way better than other motors, though. Even same motor and same ESC, sometimes it just works better than other times.

I think we already on a good way and I hope the developers still keep up working together like they are doing it right now. Things just need time.
Meanwhile, we can start getting the new motor designs not using up valuable winding space on sensor assemblies

nope
not sure (customer board not mine)
again, no idea
once i have connected the esc I’ll get back to ya
no idea, no idea, no idea. i can find out for you though.

@Lee_Wright
the pic you uploaded before…is it like that or is something misaligned/bent? (looking at the alignment of the motors)
No it’s a very wide lens, 14mm so looks distorted at the ends

Just grabbed another pic as I did have some alignment issues on the day I put it together but I’ve just double checked and all is as square as it can be on these MBS hangars

that looks much better. Was worried a bit at the beginning but good that it just was the distortion
You need to up your game bruh

The yellow one is an OG 3D printed protoype that was made, l can’t not say how l acquired that one

180kv, no sensors and l haven’t looked at values, shaft is stock 8mm with cutout and hole, yes is battle harden but not made with ussal epoxy, and no photos to share yet sorey

I don’t think these numbers are very accurate.

Those cutouts on the left look like they would be great for cooling. But if there is a hall sensor PCB inside, how wide is the stator? 2cm? I’m with you @jeff these numbers don’t seem correct.

Through the holes on the left of the red line looks like windings?

Ikr, I think I’m gonna give them a try this summer. These will be my first set of street wheels on an eak8.

there is no hall sensor. the magnets are alot closer to the windings (so much so when you hand turn it you can feel the magnets) which alow more power and higher efficiency (so I’ve been told… and I’m pree sure its right)
