But they could halve the shipping cost if they had distributors in different countries. Slow-boat ship 500 to USA and I can buy them from there instead of having the single motor coming all the way from china.

Hummina Shadeeba said:Leaf is encouraging me to do one cross lacing. Is that good?
Hummina Shadeeba said:It’s 24” rim. It has holes oriented with the sides. I’ll do 1x then thanks.
Hummina Shadeeba said:the part the interface between the part and the axle has a bit of play and I’m wondering if using regen, with the axle being twisted back and forth, is it worth getting some made that have a tighter fit?

Hummina Shadeeba said:but I guess the torque arm is really just a backup anyway and should be relying on friction?

goatman said:i have the xf40 that looks like your motor, Grin laced it in the dh rim on their site with new dual gauge "bent" sapim spokes. i think i have 5000kms on the wheel build and no issues.

Hummina Shadeeba said:I got both. they look identical except for a bit fatter phase wires with the leaf. i havent compared the resistances yet.
i took the screws out but its not falling apart and i guess pressed or glued together and i gave up looking inside. i think i remember someone here having opened it to get a look and maybe was even this thread.
can i do radial laced 13 gauge or should it be 12 gauge?
probably more important by my measurements the spokes should be 78mm if laced radially and i only see 80mm spokes available. i read better to be on the shorter side not longer. Or should i do 1x or will it be too sharp a bend for the spoke?

The ebay motor is a confirmed 35H motor with the thinner laminations (same as Leaf 1.5kw) and same number of laminations?
Also the wire diameter of a winding would be good info to have. I will try to search for that other thread you talk about.
The problem I dont like about that ebay motor is you cant specify what Turn Count you want, they probably package up whatevers laying around or whatever they want to get rid of. A good comparison between two ebay motors of different winds would be good to but asking to much. Can't go wrong with that price. I'd be in for a front motor.
Hummina Shadeeba said:whats the flange diameter on this 35H if it's the same as this? so frustrated with figuring the spokes and with them being custom cut and non-returnable i dont want to screw it up.
radial or 1x? 12 or 13 gauge?

Yeah well, your going to have to measure it yourself and hopefully you can post up the dimensions on this thread. Its frustrating for sure, as you want to order the hub motor and the spokes so when the motor comes in the mail you can lace it up then and there, rather then waiting longer for your spokes to come.
I measured the Leaf 1500W but that piece of paper is long gone, it matched up close if not exact to what was found in the Leaf 1500W thread, and of course I triple checked with my own measurements and of course I have a local store that cuts spokes to length.
Hummina Shadeeba said:i got 233mm for the flange from hole to hole. i'll look for the thread and see what others got. but should i do 1x or radial you think and 12 or 13 gauge ok?
also i have two 20" rims and one says its 390mm ird but i line it up with the other rim that's written up as 388 and it's got a greater distance not less. Envy rim at 390 and the Promax claims 388. i see the Promax at at least 400mm assuming the envy is even 390
Spoke Angle: This is the angle between the spoke and the tangent line of the rim. Generally speaking, if the angle is more than 80 degrees then it can be laced with relative ease. If the angle is less than 75 degrees, then the spoke nipples will have some difficulty in angling in the same direction as the spokes, and you may need to either put a bend in the spoke so that it enters the rim a bit more radially, or drill out the rim holes slightly larger so that the nipples have more freedom to pivot. Angles less than about 70 degrees are quite problematic and best avoided.
