Crystalyte vs Magic pie

[GM Canada]

Well after spending much much $$$$$$ the Magic Pie is still not good.
I have just broke the cover screws, yes the cover screws were very tightened.
The hex stainless screws are bad quality, the break easily.
So I gave up for Goldenmotor for now, I have only use the Magic for one test run.
Big waste of money you can say.

This is very unusual. After selling hundreds of motors I have never heard of anyone breaking the hex screws. I have heard of people stripping the Phillips screw heads on the MP3 controller. Those screw heads are weak but I still attribute that to people not using a perfectly matched screwdriver. But the hex headed screws in the side covers I have never had anyone break them. You certainly are an unlucky individual. At least the price you paid for your kit from BMS battery was very low, but was it worth it? With no support, I guess not. Did you ever get a replacement controller from them?

I feel your pain....

Hi well I have just received the controller today

Yes the screws are weak stainless steel.

I managed to fix the screw hole to 5mm.
I am a little happy now, I will finish my Magic Pie 3 project.
Otherwise it's even more waste of money, if I use the Crystalyte HS3540 motor.
Then I have to changing things again....

Hi Folks,

I really didn't mean to hijack this thread, but since you asked......

I spent 20 years in the Canoe Club, often referred to as the US Navy.  We have abbreviations for certain employment positions.  For instance, an  Electronics Technician was known as an "ET", while  Aviation Electronics Technicians were "AT'"s .  Pay grades have similar abbreviations, such as "CS" for a Senior Chief Petty Officer, and "CM" for Master Chief Petty Officer.  So I thought ATCS Paul might be a Senior Chief Aviation Electronics Technician with the last name of Paul.  Not too many folks become Senior or Master Chief Petty Officers, so to me such a designation says  they are well disciplined, fairly honest, trusted leaders and capable of independent thought ( and cunning when required). 

When I retired after 20 years in the Submarine Force , I was a Master Chief Electronics Technician, or ETCM.  I was qualified in submarines, and appended that special qualification on the end of my name with the  (SS) to wind up with the ETCM(SS). 

And of course you already know that on the internet I am tall and very good looking.     

Again, sorry for hijacking the thread.

TTFN,
Dennis

Okay I have deciced to put the Crystalyte HS 3540 back in the box and resume the Magic Pie 3 project.

You have to modify the crsystalyte phase wires because they are very thin for high current.
Also the groove where the wires run through are very sharp, need to be file down.

And the Hs3540 is not a torque machine, but higher end speed.
I really like the rim (Excel) and spokes (Sapim) they are from high quality.
