I‘ll get soon some sensored alienpower outrunner. For the rough and wet winter time I thought it would be better to seal them somehow (read here that some people broke there vesc because of shorted sensor wires etc.)
Wanted to ask if somebody as experience in it and can recommend some sealing spray, or other stuff to get the motors more resitant.
PS: if somebody know the right size of pliers to open the can I would be happy to get this information
Do you know the size of the clips on the stators? Wanna order the right pliers to take them off but guess most of what i found till now have a too big diameter to fit in the holes. Sorry don’t know the right English word for it…
I don’t even know if you can actually get ceramic bearings for Motors…
I just know if you could. They would last longer in wet environments.
If you’re going to ride with metal bearings in the rain it’d be wise to check, clean and replace them.
The windings I think are water resident (as long as you don’t put them under water)
The sensors usually not and I want to go sensored Foc in the winter.
Ah I see so when they mean water resistant they are referring to sensorless motors? Hmm i thought getting soaked or wet would be fine for them regardless of sensorless or not
