those new evolve motors looks similar to torqueboards 5065 that iām using now . naaah . my torqueboards dual diagonal suits me better . just i dont have proper camera to capture proper videos .
Now that I think about it, I think these are the same motors in my benchwheel board
They are both black so I guess it checks out?
@torqueboards not everyone rides in clean manicured cities. Every other motor I have tried ends up with shredded windings in less than 100 miles. This includes your little 230kv popper. Admittedly, I ride on asphalt and at 30+ mph the motor is constantly being peppered with rocks and sand.
There has been a lot of speculation that these are the same motors that are on the new evolve that is coming out. They are not, these are larger more powerful motors and are suitable for a single drive budget build or a dual diagonal beast.
@makepeace Right now we are focused on developing the 50mm motors but we will bring a similar 63mm to market once we push our racing mounts into production. The 63mm motors are too powerful for the thin mounts available now. I have bent or broken every mount I have tried when pushing 63mm motors to there operational limits. They are also out of balance when it comes to the VESC and it can be difficult finding the right settings to keep the vesc from overheating on hills when using large motors. This will all change with the V5 VESC.
Iām in the process of building my first esk8. Before i stumbled upon this i was going to go for one sk3 245kv motor. This motor seems to do the trick though. Hell the SK3 isnt even in stock. Are you going to include pullys and timing belts with the motor? And there are sensors on the motor? Iām planning to use a VESC from DIYās. Iām new so if i dont make much senseā¦thatās why.
My new axle set mounts are going to fit randal, randal 195 clones as well as paris 195ās. They are already being boxed up at the machine shop! Theyāll make the dual rear reality.
This is the motor only, Iāll have a compatible mount and drive pulleys in about a month. Until then you can source a compatible mount/drive from @psychotiller, Alien, Enertion, or a DIY V3 mount.
I wonder if you can mount them normally on regular caliber trucks. My benchwheel has a 180mm hanger and fits two 5065ās with room to spareā¦ I donāt have my DIY parts yet so I canāt compare to a regular caliber II truck. Iām hoping I can repurpose the truck and mounts for my DIY build.
