Change bearings and recoat wit epoxy.

Not urgent. My motor is new. When you have a chance, please comment when to service and what to use. Tx
I am just leaving a tutorial from Ludwig on Vesc for somebody looking for help later.
I read somewhere that upgrades could be risky. Not sure about this step.
Install stainless steel bearings and change them when you feel they get too much play, mine last 300-500km. Re-coat the stator and inner side of the bell with epoxy if necessary.

help needed for vesc settings 
my setup:
flipsky 6384 with flipsky foldable prop
vesc 75200 aluminium case
48v battery
if I see the flipsky video here:
I can see:
motor 3200 watt
motor 100 amp
battery 64 amp
on my setup when I rech 100 amp on motor I’m like
motor 1600 watt
motor 100 amp
battery 32 amp
do you guys got some ideas why it behave so differently? what vesc settings are controlling this?
thanks in advance to every anwser
Cheers
It likely means at that amps/torque your motor is not producing enough power, which means it’s not rotating fast enough, which is probably because the prop is too high pitch.
Roughly, torque * RPM = power, so your motor can be producing the same amount of torque as the one in the video while producing half the power because it’s spinning slower.
(Of course, I’m sure there could be many other reasons, but I can’t tell much more than that without more info, like props used, battery voltage, etc. Also the video is a static test which is slightly different than a moving run, so that might also affect numbers.)

thanks a lot for your support. I’m using a 48v battery like in the video, which is draining half of the amps compared to the video, then the motor is showing half of the power in watts while absorbing the same 100 amps🤔
If I’m not wrong with the calculation it seems the motor voltage is different, lower in my case…
is there a parameter to control motor voltage on the vesc?
ps: I’m using the 2 blades folding prop from flipsky and I’m reading the values on the vx5 remote control
thanks again for any help
Oops, didn’t see above the video where you said “flipsky folding prop” and “48v battery”.
Well, that certainly is a bit more confusing. If you have the same setup and voltage it should be the same results…
On “is there a parameter to control motor voltage on the vesc?”, the equivalent to that when you look on the VESC is duty cycle. This is effectively the same thing as motor voltage–50% duty cycle means motor voltage is about half battery voltage. The duty cycle is not exactly a parameter that can be directly changed–even if you set the control mode to “duty cycle”, it just means it will adjust current to try to hit the target duty cycle.
If it can’t reach a high enough duty cycle, that would usually make me think that the motor is overloaded; the only way to increase duty cycle is to reduce load (prop with less pitch) or increase current, which would defeat our reason for trying to fix it in the first place (it sounds like the goal is to get a higher power with the same phase amps as Flipsky.)
So–unless either Flipsky is using a different prop or your VESC settings are not optimal, I must confess I am personally rather stumped 
. My only suggestion right now is to confirm your current values by reading directly from the app. Otherwise, maybe someone that has used that motor can tell you if those are expected values or not.

You were right. Values on the computer app are different and much more realistic!
And then again I’ve tried reading the values on the remote again and they were different 
from last test.
I definitely can’t trust the remote values for finetuning the setup…
Might be dumb suggestion but are you using full throttle? many remotes have different level of 0-100% output, make sure you are reaching 100% on the VESC tool
