Haha the good old days

You just need to make it clear that they are for a different, niche market, unrelated to esk8. Just put a Teflon coating on them, take some pictures of them grilling some mini hot dogs /cocktail weenies after a hard ride, and market them a portable alternative to the George Foreman grill.

Holy shit. Nice!

Mobutusan · December 27, 2018, 2:57am

Liquid cooling is cool, but bacon cooling is more innovative. Just sayin

BTW the extra wide hanger is in the picture

Idkn pretty silent from @onloop about these kinda diy projects ^^

Hummie · January 1, 2019, 1:18am

Patent the grill hanger now!

Minim · January 1, 2019, 1:52am

Hey! I like cheese!

Minim · January 2, 2019, 9:27pm

Hey that bbq special edition is kinda my thing!

Hummie · January 2, 2019, 9:34pm

O yea I mean you should patent it. Or I guess he patents it and then what, he bills you for some amount when you sell it? I can’t imagine he could stop you from making and selling them. I understood u have to get a patent everywhere it would be sold or something. Anoying as fuck. And I’ve heard such things can cost thousands and that’s before you start suing.

Minim · January 4, 2019, 4:14pm

I’m curious to what diy-community charge @onloop is going to charge. What do you think @Hummie will we ever get a official statement?

Hummie · January 4, 2019, 5:46pm

let’s say for sake of keeping it theoretical @Mobutusan got the grill truck patented but you didn’t care and wanted to sell them anyway, what could happen? What options? Maybe you could give him a dollar a truck. I doubt he could get you to stop selling them worldwide. Getting the grill truck patented seems reasonable as its actually a new or inovative thing but the heatsink truck…every electric motor is trying to get a heatsink on it. I figured I’d just add a lot of aluminum mass but after seeing yours I like the look and would do it.
It seems impossible to find a good electrical resistor with good thermal conductivity. Next want to put the lead wires in the hanger w such a thing

Did anyone ever try to measure the motor temp on the old raptor motors? I got everything ready here but I’m not sure where to fit the sensor. Would it be best to glue it on the windings directly or are there a better place for it?

Hummie · January 6, 2019, 6:16pm

The hottest part of the windings be best i I’d think. Since it’s all sealed anywhere onghe windings is probsbly as hot as any other part of the windings

12meterkuk · January 6, 2019, 7:22pm

Please take some pictures of the inside while you’re at it! Would love to compare the old black motors with the current silver ones

Minim · January 6, 2019, 10:39pm

I have a broken one dissassembled here. What photos do you want? I think I took photos and measurements for another thread here but I’ll do it again

12meterkuk · January 7, 2019, 8:20am

Some close up pics and measurements would be awesome

stormboard1 · January 8, 2019, 3:04pm

So is the overall consensus tb direct drive ?

sayekim · January 8, 2019, 3:25pm

Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s still belt drive.

The only one out now are Carvon and that Taiwanese company that was too good to be true and forgotten already. And Carvon isn’t really there either actually.

stormboard1 · January 8, 2019, 4:15pm

Iv a set carvon xls on order for a very long time and belt drive is doing my head in with the alignment issue and failing motors or stripped belts etc…
