Got to be trimmed and cut to the perfect length by TV.

They're called XT150, supposedly good for 150 amps.

Make mental note, next time do all the inside spokes on both sides first, then the outside spokes last. I did remember not to cross the schrader valve hole like I did last time. Looks like I guessed pretty good on the spoke length. That chickens life was not in vein. Next I need to tighten all the spokes,and true the rim.

They are the business. I use them as well.

Myself and others pushed our Leaf motors up to 8Kw peak in the past. They can take it, just deal with the heat somehow and your fine.Dunlop said:.... Since I am using a smaller Leafmotor (1500w) I assume they will take the occasional 250W, 20 second burst??

I recommend upgrading phase wires, adding Ferro fluid and hubsinks at a minimum.
I'm pretty sure they were saying the same thing back in 2016 when I got mine. 3mm2 is around 13awg. Good for around 4-5KW peaks IMO.Dunlop said:Hi Cowardlyduck, I am planning on Ferro fluid and hub sinks for sure :thumb: .... Not sure if you've looked at the Leafmotor specs lately....

This part: -- Update “3mm phase wires” & "Newest version hub" makes me feel as though they have already increased the size of the phase wires??? But then again, I am New, so maybe they have been advertising it that way for years??? I think they may already have the axle stuffed full!!!! I was just planning to run the next size larger wires coming down to the axle??
I am planning to split open the motor (which just arrived today) to add the fluid and possibly change out the thermister... The big decision I think is to get a thermister that works for the KLS7230S controller, or for the CA V3!!!! I just don't know which one I really want to be running the show!! They both seem to have about the settings and functions
