These chargers suck. PSA: do not buy
Also, who the heck covers their heatsinks with shrink tubing?

Are those your generic eBay ones?
Not sure, they came from forum members over at .builders. I have like 4 of them I think.

So you changed out the rideriptide deck. So just the battery left haha
you have to keep the cool trapped next to the heatsink somehow.

They are neither. Theyāre carvon V2ās. I bought them late last year from a guy on the forum. One of namakiās friends. Theyāre quite minty so Iām inclined to believe him when he said he put very little use to them. I believe Jerry machined 2 149 kv Sk3ās onto some fun box trucks. I really like them! Depending on how slow they are to start and braking power, might consider in the future rewinding them to lower kv and increase torque. Minus having to alter wheels, I must say the design is superb in its simplicity. His machined parts are gorgeous. No sensors, but Iāve always been a kickpush start kinda guy.

Hey is that the freerchobby 80xx motor?
Cut off the tail and reduce shaft from 12mm to 10mm?
That is something I could get behind in a group buyā¦
This would be the most awesome of awesome 1st group buys
21 or more motors

No, itās an APS 8085 170kV.
The factory could be the same thou.
Got them on Black Friday for pretty much the same price as you can see on Ali.
I wouldnāt recommend to do a group buy with them.
I even didnāt ride them yet but had to exchange them twice. Once as it was shipped the wrong kV second because the big bearing was damaged from shipping.
Iām super happy that APS handles warranty issues pretty good.
Donāt think that you get any support if you order directly from the factory or only if you pay shipping back to China which is ridiculous expensive for so big motors.
And yes I will cut one side of the shaft, but donāt see a reason to change anything on the diameter.
Itās no big problem to get pulleys, sprockets or gears with 12mm bore.

I was a bit wary after reading the noises issues experienced with APS 80xx, maybe this model better luck
@3dservisas recomended me those frrchobby 8072, they are sensored as well
Or there is the Leopards, but they would need sensors addedā¦or encoders
The noise issues have been mainly with the 8072 motors. They have a different design than the 8085 motor size.
One thing I forgot to mention.
If you buy 80xx motors than you need different motor mounts or as min an adapter as the bolt pattern is different. This bolt pattern also differs with any brand. So a APS 80xx motor wouldnāt fit on a leopard 8072 motor mount.
Thatās actually all the riptide parts on a spud deck lol. Was just bored at 3am.
Riptide deck has maytech parts now. Just needs an enclosure. Im gonna redeck the maytech parts on another deck too but im still working on it.
Thenā¦
All the riptide parts are going back on the riptide deck and im giving that to my wife for getting to work.

@Kug3lis seemed to be using 80100 if Iām not wrong, from that post ^ it seems he had harmonic resonance too
I am using drives which have support for 80xx motors - 3DServisas 5:1 v2, 9" tires

Thatās right.
Didnāt know about kugis issues, but about as min 3 others have had issues with 8075 motors.
I can confirm that this high pitching noise comes not only on 80xx APS motors. Also the 6384 motors have similar issues at a specific rpm.
Itās not affecting the riding but sound strange.
I got it under control with battle harden the motors.
APS bought or maybe still buy there motors from freerchobby so I wouldnāt expect batter quality from there.
I would rather get a group buy done with leopard 8072 or maytech 8085 motors.
They more expensive but also more reliable.

@torqueboards May i ask you the distance from the center of the hanger to the center of the wheel bolt?
Just interested if any of the existing pulleys I have would fit on them.
