Since many of the long time members here on E.S. like DD rear hub motors, about a year ago I bought a Rear DD for experimenting with .
However is has a sticker on it that says 26 inch/36volt and a low speed , of which I forgot as I write this. it was rated at either 350 or 500 watt. ( not the V2 1500 watt)
As far as I can tell it is one of the early MXUS Rear DD's like a V1 ?
So it does not have the aluminium core, it has the heavier steel core.
What can I do to get more speed and amp ability out of this ?
Would having a machinist shave off some of the metal core work ? as from what I have read the newer V2's with the aluminium core are lighter weight and can disipate heat more ? ( somewhere there is a spinningmagnet's article on the V2 MXUS that describes the aluminium core ( if I am even describing it as a core correctly ? ).
The whole thing weighs in at 14.5 + pounds for the hub/spokes/rim. So I would like to shave of some weight and provide some cooling abilities ( I do not ride in the rain and I can use compressed air to get out dust every once in a while, since I keep it inside on carpet I do not want to use statoraid and fins would add weight so those are out as well )
