My Tidal Force currently has a 26 inch 150mm 7 speed QR wheel on there and it looks fine to accomodate this motor. I measured the the space between the drop outs with my tape measure and its 150mm with a non motor wheel. Ive had a 9C and an X5 with torque arms inside the drop outs so im sure the TF frame could take it .... I wanted to get a second opinion... I also considered getting the GM 901. I got a price of 180 plus about 25 shipping ... its a little bit hotter/faster motor with low 30s @48v i planned to run it at 66v and hopefully hit the low 30s to high 40s. But that ebay motor looks unusually wide which makes me grin but i hope its not a picture skew problem or anything... But if i get the ebay motor atleast i get a few trinkets ... still getting a lyen 12 fet probably what are your opinions ... I really dont think the pricing is right on the HT /HS even maxwells offer. I would pay for an x5 dont get me wrong im not cheap i will pay for quality. The x5400 and greyborg is to much of a lady for me but this ebay motor looks like the middle of the road like the one Hyena is testing out and i think the forum needs a guenia pig for this cause this might be a diamond in the rough.Hyena wrote:

Id rather wait for my wife to get home and go to the trail than have a car sit in the driveway getting less than 10 miles a week.
Yeah my car is quite the driveway ornament these days. It costs me more in insurange, rego etc than what it actually does to run for the amount that I use it.

Interesting, I haven't seen one like that before. It looks kinda like a crystalyte H40 but without any markings on the side covers. You'll have to bust it open when you get it and post pics. The disc brake mount looks to have good clearance too, almost like the moto/scooter spec hub motors. The controller also looks like a scooter style one. We'll need a peek-a-boo in there too
That's a good price if it is a beefy motor like that. I take it your bike can accomodate the 150mm drop out spacing ?

anybody else wanna second us on the ebay H series knockoff?
that would make it a triple double, 3-2s to make IC do the EB deal for the C'lyte KO?
I hope you werent the "Bastard" =P that i outbidded and contacted the seller to start another auction so i could use buy now. Then he ended up closing the current auction i was winning and I won it since he ended it early. All and all i think i spent 255 shipped and if its what we thinkit is .... we would make out like bandits.

you maybe could accomplish the same thing if you ran the brake cuttoff line from the controller to the ground in the motor through your thermal switch.
I thought of the same thing it may have been first on my post it was last on my list tho...

Im going to put this inside the motor and use it 1 of 3 ways. Use it on the ground of the hall wired.

I bought some of these same things a month or 2 ago and have them wired in series with the hall -ve. They're NC so for the most part you don't know they're there until they get too hot and go open, shutting off the halls. People will cry that it's dangerous if it cuts out etc etc but if you melt a winding it's going to cut out just the same, only you'll be pushing it all the way home - and against a fair bit of resistance most likely.
If you're going to run wires externally you may as well just hook it up to a buzzer. The whole point (for me) of using these internally on the halls is to save having to run extra wires externally. And on motors like the crystalytes where the wiring is easily damaged by removing the side cover it's good to be able to pop off the opposite side cover, yank the hall wires up, snip one and whack this in between.
Never mind the critics, they're often the same lot who are scared of lipo burning their house down
This time im going to over do things in all aspects... You get better the 4th time around... Over build and run it conservative but break the balls on it sparingly... i think this new motor is gonna be the shit tho.... cant wait to get it and crack it Imma strip it molest it upgrade phase wires and have my way with it... I wanna do a true upgrade of the phase wire but if im cramming extra wires down the axle imight not be able to.. so i may take the phase wires out the axle... take the low temp POS sheath off. Shrink wrap the phase wires like I did with my other motor this should protect them and allow me to run more current throught them. I was hitting and 4-6kw peak. With no issues with the phase wires doing that on my last build. The insulation wont get tacky and fuse together and short and allow enough extra space for the temp sensor. ofcourse the poormans phase wire upgrade hacked off a few inches outside the axle. I think imma use xt150s on the phase wires. 8G to the controller. Its nice being able to do quality wire jobs now. I think its gonna be a game changer for this build. Less complex battery wiring/rats nest. Im excited. Its almost been a year since my accident...Hyena Wrote: If you're running wires for the speedict temp sensor then that's all you need
John in CR Wrote:Hyena,
I like the idea of easy access for the mod and no new wires to run out. A few things to consider are:
- Some controllers trigger regen braking with a cut in the halls power line
- 140°C is awfully hot, so placement at the windings is critical
- Shutting down the motor is the 2nd worse thing you can do when a hubbie is that hot. Continuing under heavy load is worse.
Hyena wrote: I'm using standard infineons for now, haven't heard of such a thing but that's interesting. These just stutter when the halls are cut. I've had loose hall plugs before while riding and it's not like the motor and controller are going to instantly self destruct. You feel the jerk/stutter and get off the throttle. Easy.
I agree 140°C is cutting it close, I'm actually using 100°C on mine and being on the conservative side. 120 would probably be a better middle ground but at the time 100's were available. Mine is on the windings but it's also close to the air cooling holes (which are over the windings) so that's another reason why I figure it's best to be on the safe side temp wise, as the air holes may cause the temp sensor to read cooler that what is actually indicative of the overall motors heat. On the last air cooled motor I did have a temp sensor in (and monitored it closely) it rarely got over 90C after feeding it with 4000-5000w. The hottest as you say is when you stop, which is a slight limitation of this method if you're planning to be lazy and get off the bike when it cuts out rather than continuing to pedal it. If I was stuck out in the bush (which is where I ride hard) I'd be tempted to add a jet of biological "water" cooling
I'd originally planned to use a NO thermostat hooked to an internal piezo buzzer powered from the hall voltage but coudln't find any rated to 100C +
But yeah, I see these as more of a last resort fail safe and really I only have one in my own motor to test so I can put them in motors for noobs. I've never smoked a motor, not even a 9C with 8kw bursts but give one to a noob and he'll find a way to kill it with only 3kw (I had a bloke recently who managed to burn a HT35 into oblivion with a current limit of only 45a)
