Looking good Dan. What's the final weight do you know? Should be a bit less than twice the weight of the current motor?

Oh, and are you going to be running the stators in series? Seems to be the best way to avoid any current sharing issues. Volt up man!

It should turn out to be about 32kg.
running everything in parallel . Dont have the time for a new controller to go twice the voltage. Still have to make the new battery pack after this

I thought you would have put the drive on the lower one; or does it stick up too far?

Looks great anyway mate

The design works well. In this build I get to integrate the labarynth into the motor frame. More complex machining but saves a lot of space, makes the motor much narrower.
I wont show the exact labarynth shape but theres really only one way to do it.
