Doc, have you ever considered using a proper Dip & Bake product that completely fills in the gaps between the magnet wires to prevent vibration wear shorts, give you much better cooling and water resistance? If your have an old oven to preheat and post-bake your motor, it's way better than any air dry insulator. I use a mil-spec dip & bake with outstanding results, but there are plenty of commercial grade products available, such as:Doctorbass said:Hi tom as i mentionned in many other threads here is the patr number for that red coating: made my Sprayon : EL601 or A00601A00 and here is the sku: 075577842131 or 075577004980
:wink:

macribs said:Nice work Doc. What kind of phase wire size will you be able fit there?
Are you planning to skip regen on front wheel? Seems those who have had axle failure more often then not it snaps during regen braking. If you don't use regen up front likely it would cause less strain on the fork legs and axle clamps as well.
Damn I look forward to see the bike completed, on the drag strip and see what time & speed you get now.

Are you going to re-terminate one of the packs to get your 20-22s?
skWarDog said:That came out nice, Doc! I think I'd like to do that for a 2wd build this winter...... my front controller is a Mini-E and Max-E in the rear. Any CAD drawings that you would be willing to share? Or maybe a hook-up with your machine shop to produce another?
izeman said:why do you use the original silicone of the phase wires and not change it for heat shrink? those turnigy wire's silicone is very thick, and you could make the axle thinner, or the bore smaller to fit the wires in.

wasn't it you who has measured the inductance to be about 150µH on 3T motor? If so than it should be ok (4T Cromotor has even lower inductance)

Just be careful. We don't want your house to look like that place in China that blew up.
Motor's looking great. I think that axle setup will be very strong.
Is the bike going to have pedals?
