R-SPEC Shorted Phase Wire Problem & Solution

We now believe there were 100 in that batch that may have excess wires inside the barrel. The problem is most commonly appearing if there is lots of movement occurring with the wires when the trucks pivot during turning. A sturdy cable restraint can also prevent the problem.

The recommended fix is super quick.

  1. Remove one circlip on shaft.
  2. Carefully remove the barrel.
  3. Unwind/unravel the phase leads.
  4. Cover the excess motor wires with tube insulation.
  5. Wrap wires back into position.
  6. Install barrel and circlip.

One of my motors just died after an 8km ride yesterday. I have one of the first batch Raptors #1350. Only about 200-300km on it so still pretty new. Crashed at full speed, big rock I did not see threw me, which put me off of riding for a while. Thanks everyone for your posts and pics. I will be disassembling and if it is the same issue I will also video it so it will be up for all to see.
