Hello my whoop friends! All the important info is here in the video description! This video is not a step by step tutorial. It's just meant to help you and give you motivation to start dewinding whoop motors yourself. The first step is to disassemble and unwind/ dewind the whoop motor. That's what this description and this video is about. I'll hopefully show you the second part (rewind the motor to a new KV or and with thicker wire) in the video part 2 in one to two months. Until then, you can practice disassemble whoop motors with old motors that you no longer need. Then you can take the first step. I hope I can give you motivation and help with this to dewind your first whoop motor. Write me your experiences in the comments and please share the data from your engines (motor name and kv and how many turns) with me. ⚠If you want to be the first to know what I'm doing and what my latest findings and plans are, then pay attention to the community tab of this CZcams channel.⚠ ⚠If you like my work then consider supporting me, be it in the form of a subscription, a like, a comment, a recommendation to your friends, helpful data from your projects or other helpful tips.

Yeah. Now you got me intrigued. Only just took a motor apart today to clean it out and was wondering about rewinding. Will definitely be digging some old motors out and tearing them apart in anticipation of the next installment. 👍
Nice to hear! Please share your findings (motor name and kv, turns of the windings) with me here or in this facebook group: facebook.com/groups/457333120275712
I've gotten this far (and it's really interesting to take a motor apart!) but what would be _really_ interesting is if you could manage to re-wind a set of motors (to a KV you like) and have them work again. Looking forward to any future exploits of yours ;-)
Nice! Please share your findings (motor name and kv, turns of the windings) with me here or in this facebook group: facebook.com/groups/457333120275712 And yes PART 2 is hopefully out in about 2 Months..

► Steps to disassemble / dewind a tiny whoop motor:
● Removing the heat shrink tubing from the motor cables
● Removing the C-clip
⚠use your favorite technique so that the C-clip does not get lost⚠
● Separate the stator and motor base from the motor bell
⚠be careful not to lose the small washers⚠
⚠Take a photo or note of the order of the washers⚠
⚠Store all small parts safely in a closed container⚠
● Screw the motor base to a holder
(old carbon frame, homemade holder, etc.)
● Clamp the stator in homemade clamping jaws
⚠No matter which clamping jaws you choose, they must hold the stator well without crushing it, thats the goal⚠
● Warm up the motor base with stator with hot air to approx. 80-100 degrees Celsius (So hot that you can't touch it for longer than 0.5 seconds)
● Separate the motor base from the stator (if you need/want this step)
⚠possibly with the help of a screwdriver under the carbon frame / motor base holder to have a lever⚠
⚠ This step is not always necessary⚠
⚠Sometimes the PCB ring comes with it and sometimes it doesn't if it's glued on with epoxy. In this case you have to cut the enamelled cables to get the stator away⚠

Great content. 👍🏻. Love that little vice.

If I open the e clips, just use a needle, to open the axles and bearings, just a drop of iso propyl alcohol
Thank you for this useful input!🤜🤛💪
But I'm already BRUHless
Haha thank you! I will change that!😂
