So, are these not battle hardened, or does it look different from the factory than when people do it on their own?

Battle Hardened motors means the magnets in the can have epoxy between them, keeping them from moving.

Yup.
@rafaelinmissouri There is epoxy at the top of the windings and also the sensor wires are quite well epoxied in between the windings.
The epoxy used to hold the magnets in looks like it has been squeezed out from beneath the magnet and then smoothed flat, there doesn’t appear to be any additional epoxy between the magnets.

Are you going to add any extra epoxy?

If the magnets don’t have epoxy fully BETWEEN them I would not consider them battle hardened

Yes, but I’m still waiting on some motors, wanna do a whole bunch at once

this sample from @Arzamenable is a good depiction right. maybe a bit extreme. a lot prettier than when I did mine.
So I kind of expected the TB 6380s to look like this.
I could swear I had seen Dexter comment somewhere his are battled hardened, and that is what I am trying to double check. @torqueboards
this is an ESK8 task I kinda hatted doing…

That’s a level of motor treatment I’ve literally never seen before.
Nobody makes motors like that. At least not that I’ve ever heard of

I saw that too, looks usable but I’ve literally never seen motors that been treated in that method before. TourqueBoards are battle hardened in the sense that the magnets are epoxied in place and there is epoxy on each side to keep them from moving from true orientation. I can guarantee you the stators are not hardened in the same method as @Arzamenable.

Here is what mine 6384s from Flipsky looked like before and after I gave them the Bukakke treatment.
I was hoping the TB ones came like that, again, because I thought doing this was a pain in the ass.
But if the 2 sets I have done now, don;t give me problems, I expect I would want to do it to any new motors I buy.
Including if I possibly get the TB ones.

I interested in @Arzamenable’s response on how they perform. I can see possible heat issues with that method, but if that doesn’t exist it’s definitely badass.

Same. Excited to see results from testing

Got it from this thread.
