I also bought stealth in april 2022. I've done over 1000 km so far. No issues even after rainy weather.
However my torque sensor requires 12Nm/volt to be set in cyc app in order to have realistic human power readings. Default 69Nm/volt was giving me insanly high values. Up to 1500w!
I just found this new video on version 3 of the stealth. It looks to be improved in many ways! But it still could be possible to overheat because it has a air gap between the motor and case, and it is still louder than other motors.

Re-fitted the Motor ‘in triangle’ , it’s shifted a bit of weight slightly rearwards and given a little bit more ground clearance . While I was at it I changed the cassette to a Shimano 10 speed Linkglide . This has to be the best shifting I’ve ever had , It’s close to having an automatic transmission , the shifts are that smooth and fast , even with a bit of power behind them .
I like the build nomad, being able to put the motor inside the frame feels so much better for some reason. It would be nice if cyc supplied different or adjustable length motor arms so you could put the motor where you wanted.... But I know that would be very difficult to manufacture.
With the link glide can you just change the cassette or is it new chain/shifter/mech?

Thanks , if you've a got a frame with enough room , the motor inside is the way to go . One of your builds , and a couple of others , is what got me thinking .
You're right , different length , or adjustable arms would be an expensive addition .
With Linkglide , if you're running 11 speed I think you can change just the cassette . I'm running 10 speed , so I've got an XT 10 speed shifter and an XT 11 speed derailleur to accommodate the 43 tooth sprocket . It might not sound right , but of course it's the shifter that provides the indexing . It all works together flawlessly .
It appears to be very quiet. I would think you would have to align and set up the gears correctly help with excessive chain, gear and derailleur noise.
