Any interest? I thought it would have gone quickly at $500! Lots of great parts there to use on another built or even rebuild this. The charger alone has over $300 worth of PSU's. Controller, motor and cycle analysis work as they should. Feel free to come and take a look!

$500 ONO including charger, helmet and armour. Pickup Parkinson, QLD 4115 Hi guys, I loved this beast and enjoyed using it while at uni however, it has sat unused since around 2013 and I think it beyond time to let it go. Here is a post I made explaining most of the build...

True, but the motor shaft just contacts the front tire. It slips as it is so I highly doubt you could go much bigger diameter wheels without changing the motor too. IMO the wheel size is about perfect for the tracks, speed and run time. They are pretty zippy already.... I sort of answered my...

Hey guys, Reviving this old thread as I've just purchased some of these for my son (not for dad at all.... I swear! :P) No problems so far but we are considering a few more sets/expansions to extend the track and some of the online reviews particularly on the FB page have me a little worried...

yeah Im sure i have seen a few post with people running mesh, but i think the overall consensus is it limits the airflow. My holes are 18mm. will need a stronger drill if i want to go bigger. :D Edit: for others interested, this thread has some great info on cooling using fans, fins, and also...

Hahaha very true. Personally im a newb in the experimental stage, still trying a bit of everything to gain my own opinions & experiences. The lessons learned on this motor will hopefully help me when the 5404 arrives. :twisted: Also the summer heat over here probably does make extra cooling...

180!!?! Like a king!! I to was skeptical about dirt and rocks getting in the holes skippic, but after doing some heavy off roading/power sliding and thread reading i'm not worried at all. It is possible, but extremely unlikely. snowchyld, i havent opened my hs35 again yet, but i opened and...

yeah I already dremeled it out a little when I did my wiring. I really dont expect it to work, the biggest problem will be getting a corner piece in or finding a way to get around the 90 degree turn where the wires exit the axle. All im going to do is see if it will fit, if so, ill hook up a...

wow Keyne your bike looks fantastic and you sure know how to ride it! Great vids!

So ive been thinking over the cooling options and I think im going to experiment with water cooling 1st. I have some very stiff 6mm OD tube i will try squeeze in and go from there. I get it in a 5mm hole for an aquarium co2 setup so thats about the size of 1 10awg... i think. If that doesnt work...

Nice Arlo I found plenty of other posts with the fan idea and think ill definitely give it a go. Do you happen to have the hole dimensions still arlo? Cant be bothered opening up for that right now lol. I assume you used 40mm fans yeah? Also thought id ask here being hs is a high speed motor...

Ran the tests stock vs mod medics again here are the results.... To start I balanced all the packs together on 1 medic to 4.06 4.06 4.06 4.05 4.05 4.05 Also results are taken from the same medic so they are more comparable. Each pack was 6s2p of 6s zippy 5000mah cells. After 1 hour 40mins...

Thanks for the 'safe' heat explanation Methods and John. So basically the windings can take a little abuse and I shouldn't worry to much about a weak winding smell at around 90-100c, but more about what spikes I am getting. I'm running 18s lipo, lyen 18fet set to 60/150a 2.5 block 85% max...

I'm also curious to what the safe max temp of this motor would be. I hit 100c pretty easily and seem to loose a bit of power if i get to 110c+ so I assume the limit is close to here. I see drbass has his alarm set for 142c on an x5 in his ebike to the future vid, but can't find much for this...

Yeah im with philistine. I also run a hs3540 on 18s 60/150 amps. It draws around 4000w up steep hills with no pedaling but on flat stays around 2000w. I have cooling holes but at these settings the motor winding still hit 100c + and i can smell the windings. but then then we have had warm...
