The original Crystalyte HS35 rear motor was designed as sensorless motor in 2010, the products started to show up in Feb/Mar 2011 in North America. I personally had tested since Oct 2010 to Feb 2011 without any problem. Due to demand from E.S. communities, these motor had been upgraded to sensored motor. I didn't thinking add a few wires should be a problem and without much testing on this configuration. However, I have seen 99% of all sensored motor will eventually have wire cut and short the hall effect chip inside the motor, and potentially short the other devices such as controller and cruise control. Trust me on this, I have given Crystalyte many of my feed back on this.
This problem seem to be happen to HS35 or HT35 rear motors, I have no seen on Front motor yet, I will check it later when I have time.
This what it look like when you open up the protected plastic cover. The wire is being bend at 90 degree, pushing the wire onto the sealer, when the motor start to rotate, the sealer started to spin, it will eventually cut any wires that touches it.
I and others like minded members had came up with a very simple solution. Here are the steps:
1. remove the plastic cover that hold the wire in place, and turn it 180 degree
2. grind down half circle groove, allow the wire exit from the top, instead of 90 degree bend the wire against the rubber sealer
3. put the cover plastic back on, and you are done.
This simple solution will prevent the wire touching the sealer. It extremely easy to do. However, if you already had your wire cut, it is too late, and you will have to start the process of finding out which hall is short, open the motor, change out the hall, etc...
Anyway, I hope this posting will help many others who run into same problem as I am.
