Anyone seen those anywhere?
I am planning a 2kW+ build with 12" wheels. Apparently nylon gears will not work. My desire is to find something similar to MAC motor, but with steel helical gears and oil-filled.
* steel means strength and reliability
* helical means silence
* oil means good lubrication and cooling
I have searcher for a few months now, and was able to find only one such motor:

It is listed in alibaba, seller "Wholewide ..something". Price starts at $60. I got into talking and after three days of chatting they say that they no longer make this motor because of many problems, such as high noise and oil leaks. It was quite difficult to get to meaningful answers while battling through all of the Chinglish.
So I'm stuck. If anyone knows a source of 12" (OD with tire) hub motor with steel helical gears, please let me know.
Or, maybe, it will be easier to take a MAC motor, toss out the gears and machine new ones?
