What recommendations do you guys have for a cheap and reliable motor? I’m trying to make a dual motor longboard on budget before spring semester starts. My target is top speed 25mph and initial acceleraton 3m/s^2. I’m probably using a dual 50A continuous 150A burst ESC with a 6s battery (its all I can charge at the moment)
Requirements…
functional at 6s
$75 or less
60mm or less (length including end bearing but excluding shaft)
high torque or kv (real kv * Nm >= 750)
50A or less continuous draw (at 22.2V)
available now
Preferences…
sealed (or at least gravel proof)
sensored
easily obtained in eastern US
functional up to 10s or 12s
Any kv from 150 to 450 is fine (I’m getting a variety #25 sprocket set)
Any opinions on the following motors are greatly appreciated as well!
I’ve looked at…
Sk8 DIYeBoards 6354 180kv: it looks great but I’ve heard bad things about DIYeBoards
Build Kit Boards 6354 208kv: sealed and sensored but there is no torque rating although I think its high
DIY Electric Skateboard Torque Boards 6355 260kv: the torque is really low for the kv but it seems designed for 6s
FlipSky 6354 190kv: it looks perfect but I hear a lot about the magnets coming lose and cutting out when braking
Hobby King Turnigy SK3 5055 430kv: its made for 6s but its weak AF
If you have motors in good condition that qualify for sale please send me the market link
Maytech is known for there hub motors as they are good quality? cant say the same as there motors although the look the same as TB and every other seller.
the only thing i can attest for are the motors. All the other stuff has been tested by fourm members. i have only used their motors and they are rock solid. you can search the fourm for what people think about the other stuff. But the motors are bangin.
