Turnigy D5035-125KV Sensored Brushless Motor

for whatever reason they used stator size instead of can size, like the tacon bigfoot 160. from the site, so this is really a 6355/6364 size motor in sk3 sizing.

Can Diameter C (mm) 62.50 Can Length D(mm) 54.80

did u ever do a top speed test

Yeah the motor runs very smooth and a lot of torque! First I had a 15T motorpulley -> 30kmh Now I have a 20T motorpulley and I can go around 40kmh (fast enough for me)

30KMH? are you running with 10S and the VESC by turnigy? i am running 6S (3s 5000mah( (i´ve already bought 2 5s 6000mah ) like is recommend in HK site) with 6s i just got 16KMH which is ok for beginners, but the torque is freaking amazin…

I’ve a 10S battery and using the single motor esc from ebay. Yeah the torque is awesome really good motor.

What was your top speed …

Is this part of the famous Turnigy kit everybody was talking about not so long ago?

Yes, there’s also a full kit. I only bought the motor and motormount

Put about 15 miles on the motor so far. Very torquey, and much easier install process since there is already a detente drilled into the shaft (although I took the motor pulley off just now and that detente is starting to deform…)

Top speed is definitely nothing to write home about, but I ordered some 97mm flywheels that should let me get a few extra miles per hour out of the set up.

One concern: I don’t think the motor was doing this originally, but it looks like I can now pull the orange ‘can’ part of the motor out of the metallic silver front housing disc by about 2 mm. It kind of pops in and out with a bit of force. It will randomly do this to itself when on the motor mount. Does anyone else’s exhibit this? This movement is in the same axis as the motor shaft.

@craj1031tx the shaft is moving with the motor when you do that? Check the circlip where the shaft sticks out.

Yes, the shaft appears to move with the rear portion when i do that. is that good or bad :sweat_smile: ??

Yeah check the circlip. I don’t know how it effects the performance

I don’t think it matters if it is the circlip, mine broke on one of my motors and it still runs fine

I got the same with my motor! In the package of the motor, there’s like a copper cylinder piece which you can put on the motorshaft, I used that and now the motor can won’t move. IMG_20180122_101443 If I’m home I will try to make pictures of it. You need to push on the backside of the motor so it slides into the motorhousing. Then put on the copper ring and your motorpulley. Now also push your pulley against thr copper ring so it won’t be able to slide

It can run fine but if there’s horizontal movement of the shaft it’ll stress the bearings more and that can’t be good

I don’t think it will affect the bearings. It doesn’t take any stress, just stops the bell from pulling out of the stator. Well that’s all it does on mine

Question for people with this motor: it appears my vesc is no longer picking up the hall sensors from this motor. I was riding along normally and then, when trying to accelerate from a dead stop, the motor just would not respond to any throttle commands. at first i thought that maybe i had fried my vesc, but when I got home and started to run some diagnostics, it turns out that i was about to get it to run in sensorless mode (it was originally in hybrid). motor tuning in BLDC came up with a hall sensor detection failed result, but everything else looks normal.

there are no noticeable cuts in the sensor wire. anyone ever run into anything like this? any ideas as to what might have happened? i tried opening the motor up but wasn’t able to.
