Very nice, Is that a dry pod out runner, or direct water cooling? I like the battery in the back Idea. I think I might try that.
Direct water cooled.
Only time will tell but my Sons RC cars have been subjected much worse conditions and all we really do is change bearings every other season…
working on some waterproof remotets…
Did you modify the outrunners somehow? Like filling the gaps between the magnets? Gluing together the windings?
Running them without mods and acccepting the deficiency (more than some need to foil apparently =1.2kW).
Anyone have numbers on a perfectly smoothed vs. stock setup?
But I’m foiling with minimal engineering and $ effort…so im happy at the moment.

Second safety comprised of a reed switch capable of removing the ESC’s PWM signal.
Conveniently the Castle Creation ESC does not arm again until it sees a low ( < 1250us ish) signal.

Since I won’t loose weight any time soon this system desperately urges for improvement. Or a humongous Battery Box 
Filling the gaps between the magnets made a big difference for me.
I didn’t spin the rotor to do that, instead i found a plastic tube with the OD slightly above the ID of the magnets, did a cut lengthwise (to be able to remove it after and to make it fit), waxed it, sealed the bottom with clay and poured epoxy in the gaps… not 100% smooth but works nicely.

Very nice! Simple and powerful!
Like it !
That’s great! Would you be interested in sharing the code?
Nice simple setup! What thumb throttle are you using? Are these waterproof?
I’ve heard of ebike users complaining that these fail with water ingress. But maybe there’s a rated waterproof version.
Very! BUT I’m a terrible programmer and will need to do a lot of testing before potentially releasing dangerous code …
Here the basics for the radio:
This got me up and running. Now feature Creep…
