Ferrofluid in hub motors?

I’ve noticed the Onewheel community is starting to use ferrofluid in their hub motors and started wondering if anyone’s tried that with eskate hubs. I suspect I’m in the minority in my enjoyment of hub motors on custom boards. The most common ferrofluid product is Statorade. Any thoughts or experience?

I first saw this kid

Then starting looking around and saw that it’s common amongst ebikes that use hub motors. Whether it cools an eskate hub motor wrapped in rubber/PU the same as it would a bike hub motor remains to be seen.

That’s interesting. I haven’t done that myself so it’s new to me.

This guy has also done the Statorade mod and apparently saw big reduction in motor heat.

He mentions it near the end.
