Guys, ( Mike & Li-ghtcycle) , i know these motors will work, but i am sure you can see the issue of using a motor with no skirt brg.
The load from the tire is only supported on one end of the motor casing ( cantilever loading) which the motor was never designed for and risks causing the casing to detach from the bell end ( = motor death !) .
I just dont think we can expect any motor to last long in this application without a skirt brg.
A skirt bearing will support the free end of the casing much better and hopefully, dramatically improve reliability.
Li- the bearings in the kit will not help support the motor casing ! ..and that is an expensive motor to experiment with !
If you want reliability i would suggest you look closely at this .
I know we are all learning here, and i dont expect we will get it right first time, but there are some obvious issues we can avoid.
It is not easy to know from the posted spec's exactly which motors have the skirt brgs, but i do know the Hyperion Z series ( as Kepler used for most of his development) does, as does the Turnigy 63-54 A , 250kv, . and the 63-64A 280kv.( also the 80 series turnigys)
