    How much money have you burned?

    How much magic smoke from parts have you released or otherwise destroyed in the making of your e-bike? Include motors and controllers burned out, welders welded to themselves, visits to the ER, frames bent in half, wheels tacoed, holes punched in walls, grandma's washing machine all scratched...

    What connector do you use for main power line?

    How do you varnish motor windings?

    So I bought the HXT outrunner motor that Scott's been talking about..... it arrived in stellar time, now I'm just waiting for the ESC and servo tester. I noticed the windings weren't varnished.... they look like bare copper. Should I varnish them? If so, with what? Just old varnish that I get...
