Hi folks first post, been lurking and reading for quite a while, always a treasure trove of useful information. I already have a BBSHD w/ 52V Shark on a Yuba Cargo bike as my main transportation which has been a total workhorse and does pretty much anything I ask of it with the exception of off-road use.
Never had a hub motor so went ahead and ordered a brushless 1500 watt motor off eBay which I intend to install on my old Specialized hardtail, probably will leave it on the 750 watt setting initially using the battery I already have:

Would appreciate any insight or feedback on these particular motors, is there mods like beefing up wires with thicker gauge or anything? My intention is to eventually spring for a nice full suspension frame/bike at some point if I enjoy the hub motor off road, possibly purchase a higher quality hub motor too if needed.
Added: I have determined the unit is a 9C so I might try and tackle a phase wire upgrade if it seems to get overly warm during the summer months. I am clueless about hub motors, should I start looking for a good set of torque arms?
