Hi everybody,
nive photo @nekitesurfing, could you give the ref of your engine and its KV ?
thanks

nekitesurfing · December 31, 2022, 5:31pm

Thanks. It is a 6384 brushless sensorless motor with 120kv. I just bought it from AliExpress. Here is the link:

Thanks,
you are still in 6S, you take off well ?
Do you think 120kv in 7S3P will be good ?

nekitesurfing · December 31, 2022, 7:01pm

I’m using a 7s3p at the moment using 21700 cells. I found the extra volts help me at 90kg.

What kind of cable housing is that? It has all 3 phase wires in it right?

Thanks

where did you get the stainless steel clamp? Is it custom made?

I am super scared of losing all my stuff too!

Hey I really like this setup. Curious where you got the strap from

Strongarm · January 9, 2023, 11:59pm

Hey - From our local hardware store, under the brand name Grunt. They are an imitation of Voile straps which should be able to get anywhere in the world.

KLAUSMOLLERZIP · January 15, 2023, 9:12am

somewhere in the forum I read that someone submerged the engine in corrosion x and did not put resin. It seems a bit unbelievable to me but I’m tempted to do it.

Alex2A · January 15, 2023, 10:23am

That is what i did to my new motor. I will let you all know how it goes.

okp · January 15, 2023, 11:00am
