I blue parts, both mild steel and stainless. if its not even a mild steel I wouldn’t worry about it rusting unless it’s exposed to a lot. I just sit stuff on my gas grill and works nicely but I do it more for looks.
What type of stainless steel did you use? If it is hardened heating it to these temperatures and quenching with cause it to lose strength and become tougher, meaning it will bend easier but will be harder to snap
As you suggested I removed the rear edge so the bearing slide from the back. I hope it won’t get out though from there but should be fine.
Do you quenching the parts afterwards?
Do you know the material number of the steel? I’m trying to find the best steel to use as I’m paranoid about axles snapping thanks to all those metasurf and diyeboard trucks
It’s just because I did not finish to modify the part. Now is gone.
Although I now realised that I fix the pipe to the hanger with a screw so I will need to remove the stator anyway if I want to change the bearing I could leave the wall that was keeping my bearing really well locked.
The pipe is hold in place mainly by a m4 screw that goes directly into the truck hanger no axle, plus retailer loctite between the pipe and the axle. The stator to the pipe has keyway and retainer loctite.
Sure. Planning too actually. First I will use mad Fury with 60Kv with short AT bergmeister wheels. I can’t wait.
For the MAD Storm only modification need it is to get smaller Kv motor. These are 85Kv.fine for 85-90mm wheels, more will be too fast. Planning of ordering a pair of 60Kv.
Looks really nice. How are u going to blue them? On the gas stove is easy. Maybe clean with acetone or not in my experience makes little difference. The black oxide screws always seem to rust n bluing stainless screws is nice.
