Phew not so bad then
No 6374 is big enough , just donāt like the sticks ā¦ I will test without them ugly sticks
They kinda look small on the picture yeah ā¦ but they are bulky in real life
I cut every time too long to have a buffer.
My sincerest apologies Mr. Scorcese, Iāll try to do better the next time Iām taking photographs of my board at 4:30am on a busy bridge.
Please add real welding to your training list, Prospect.
Looking forward to getting your opinion on these @rich. As far as I know its only me and you with them so far and I wont get to test them for a little while.
You will be the first on here I think
The main point of the sticks is for cross-mount strengthening and support, they arenāt meant for looks.
If you take them off and the mounts were designed for them to be there, you could end up with mounts wearing out early, bending, vibrating, belts skipping, etc. Just depends on how they were designed.
If I personally designed the mounts I would probably make them so that they work without the bars, but either way, it is better for the endurance of the materials and drivetrain for the bars to be there.
I understand the looks thing, why not try painting them black? Theyād blend into the ground better I would think
Letās see who is first also need to battle harden them first.
But a good reminder because I already wanted to ask you how you did this?
It looks like epoxy putty to me (like I use) but also looks too smooth to be putty
It is epoxy putty yes and then smoothed with water on a cloth whilst itās still curing. Iām about to record a video on how to do it for Monday.
I have no idea if epoxy putty works but if you have been using the same then it is ok?
You will be first as I have a lot of other stuff to do including skinning a deck, making a battery, waiting for VESCās to arrive, machining enclosures etc
Genius motherfu****!
I battle hardened 6 motors with epoxy putty so far and it holds 99.8%.after almost 1 year I have to battle harden 6 more motors soon. I canāt stand the smell of epoxy but the putty is fine.
Not so genius! It says can be sculpted with water on the packet! (Milliput superfine)
Which one do you use?
After some research of the Milliput forget what I use, itās bullshit (UHU repair kit)
WTF @Lee_Wright I canāt believe that this is epoxy putty but it is.
How long can you work with it? My putty is pretty hard and no more usable after 5 minutes thatās why I have to mix it in small batches again and again.
I tested it on my desk. Was workable for quite a long time
3 hours dude. Enough to do the whole can then smooth it
You are welcome! Get yourself some. I had this for years from another project and itās still good to use, couldnt believe it
I have to give credit also to @BigBen as itās his idea to use milliput. Iāve never even battle hardened a motor before.
Then letās also hail @BigBen
Itās the first time Iām looking forward to battle harden
Thatās my wavy first try
second try
third try
For protecting the hall sensors and other electronics Iām using this stuff, mostly itās sold out in EU/UK. Donāt buy the transparent silicone, itās almost fluid like water.
No no no. What you learned is you need to send it to a Proā¦
I also used putty to go over the sensor PCB terminals
Broā¦ I got teal lol
