Not sure your belts can handle that much torque?.. lol :rofl:

Slightly off topic, but why donā€™t we see much of the SkateMetric guys on the builders forum? Theyā€™re always pissing off photorph or someone on the subreddit.

But yeah, @MoeStoogeā€™s idea is pretty sweet, would love to see a manufacturer competition hill climb. Doing something like Pikes Peak to show off ridiculous innovation would be fun to watch and good for bragging rights.

Considering belts are generally made of Kevlar Iā€™m not too worried about belt breaks

Holy shit they totally locked up on you at 30 mph? Howā€™d that fall go

309

From what I understand the locking happens because the extreme heat(+vibration) removes the insulation and the windings short creating a sudden braking force.

I have destroyed motors in my RC cars in similar fashion.

Anyone know of any other reason?

Was on a beer run and suddenly the motor started sounding like itā€™s running on bldc mode and then locked up the next second. Luckily I was wearing quite a bit

Well at least I saved 2 beers out of the 3 during the fallā€¦

As long as your not dead or seriously injured, this is the most important take away here.
