- In Part 1, I converted this Honda ATV with a dead engine into a battery powered rocket ship, using recycled hub motors and controllers. One of the hub motors stopped working due to a damaged hall sensor. This time I'll fix the hub motor and try to get it running at 100%..

Any engineer worth their salt can recognise the ridiculous multi industry knowledge you have.... Would be really interesting to know your background and how you learnt so much in so many fields of engineering! Always impressed 👍
I’d also like to hear about his background
I'm convinced Marty is a Highlander, drawing on dozens of lifetimes' worth of different experiences. 😂
My middle name happens to be McLeod 😆
You hit the nail on the head!
@@MartyT Aha 😃
Your suburban yard is vehicle free, clearly the boss is in charge here 😀 - Eric.
Hi Marty, your family must love having a genius for a Dad. My Dad was very much like you , finding solutions for all kinds of problems, brings back so many memories, which I thank you so much for doing. Again many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK. Hey folks please tell ALL your friends about Marty see if we can get him up to 500k subs for Xmas.
He’s New Zealand’s very own version of MacGyver.
So true! Cool Dad you are👍👍👍
When I grow up i want to be like MartyT. I like to think i can fix things that many people would just throw away but that is next level Grand Master Fixer right there.
Hats off to Kelly Controllers for trying to help you with the flash files. Even in One-wheel drive your children looked delighted to tag along for the ride around the garden :)
Timing! Skid factory to MartyT 👌
RB > JZ ?
Classic dad, "are you holding on", "are you holding on", "are you holding on" 😂. I do exactly the same.
From chopping down trees to fixing Hall-sensors and flashing controllers. Jack of all trades :D
You remnd me of a skilled surgeon. Very intentional, delicate and knowledgable. You are a delight to watch. Thanks for letting us into your world to watch, learn and be entertained.
Marty merits the honorifics Polymath and Renaissance Man.
This is like an intro to a transformers movie
You can easily tell Marty's house - it has 2 little kids and 1 big kid hooning around on some sort of machine. A++ You've got a great life Marty. A really good wife, 2 great young kids, and a terrific life style. Who needs to be a millionaire when you can live comfortably and simply with a garden of fruit trees and plants, and a bunch of good projects always waiting in the shed. All the best for you and your family !
This guy is the best engineer on yt. Possibly the entire internet
One, two, four or eight wheel drive, I don't think it would've mattered-those smiling faces weren't going to get any bigger.
If there's a part 3 I'm looking forward to it. Well done Marty and a 👍 as always. God bless.
That was a bit of bad luck with the controller, but I am very impressed that you fixed the hub motor! Even taking into consideration the perks of selective video editing and the potential deletion of times when things don't necessarily go quite right, you still make it look easy and clearly know what you are doing. So much so, that I firmly believe that all you edit out is the passage of time. Incredible talent!
The Capacitor is what makes electric atv travel possible!!
Hey Marty. Got room for another kid in your family? Your brood is so fortunate to have you to play with. 🎉 You are still.my favorite shadetree mechanic. Love your channel.😅
Marty, Sorry you’re having the additional problems. You did an excellent job fixing the hub! Hope to see this with the new controllers!
Build the kids little seats where they were sitting! Then Mom and the kids can ride while your tinkering on another project…haha
Second hand parts. Second hand problems. But don't give up. Coming along nicely. Parts availability is just a pain.
Here's my yearly contribution to the Marty fund for bringing us all great content throughout the year. Hope you and your family enjoy the holidays in good health and happiness!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it.
Always a pleasure, Marty! You never cease to impress the heck out of me!
The best parts was the kids having fun😀
My kids are 6 and 4. I'm surprised that you can find time to make vids and fix stuff and get it all done with a family as well. Good work getting the hub sorted. Looking forward to the next video.
No idea how he does it, eh?! What I'd give to have the depth of knowledge Marty has 😅 the fact he can seemingly balance it with a family is the most impressive aspect!
You really remind me of the The Post Apocalyptic Inventor or the the TV show MacGyver with all of the things you do. Well done Marty.
You continue to impress me with your ability to fix pretty much anything you put your mind to. Well done! Another wonderful video to entertain this retired engineer!
Still waiting for the video where you get rid of something. ❤😂😂😂
Your wife has the patience of a saint 😂❤
Surely I'm not the only one here heard the toot toot at 5:26 mark lol haha good ol child inside me still cracks up
Congrats Marty T, on finding the problems with the ATV and fixing almost all of the Problems. 2x2 won't be too bad.
Marty is the living proof of the saying one man's junk is another's treasure
The dam flux capacitor again 😂, very nice work, you obviously have a great knowledge of electronics.
Love the soundtrack from New Zealand wildlife.
I'm glad you use your power's for good and not for evil, lol
Oh, such a crushing defeat after putting together that motor. Those magnets really pulled the stator in with a vengeance! Looking forward to the finished product. Great video Marty thumbs up.
Love the video Marty! 😁
Would love to see a short video about Hall Sensors and how they work with the electric motor 😁
I want you as my neighbour after the apocalypse.
If there’s ever an apocalypse, I’m moving in with Marty T.
Got room for another?
Nice repair, Marty. That's something you don't see everyday!
That’s the beauty of Electric motors right there, so simple and reliable, they just need to get cleaned out and have the bearings replaced every so often
Building memories with the kiddies
Your a good dad
You have more fun than anybody I know.
*"JACK of all trades, Master of many!"*
Well done 👍!!
What Marty does is amazing! Problem with electrics is that there is not a shop on earth that would repair this (or your car, washing machine etc.) they would sell you a new part, in this case a whole motor. Old motor goes to scrap.
Big fun, especially for the kids. well done. I am sure once all the bugs are sorted, it will be fantastic
I've pretty much been watching your channel for a few years and I've done figured out you have to be an engineer because you are one very intelligent mechanical wiz
I hadn't looked recently, but 472k subscribers now! That's amazing Marty. Congratulations.
Marty T on the move again awesome.
Love the quiet ride, you can hear the kids joy, instead of an engine roaring!
Your family thinks they are lucky to have you and probably love you bunches but you're the lucky one because you get that love multiplied. Enjoy the coming Holidays.
The best thing in life, listening to kids laugh!
MartyT seems to have another level of knowledge when it comes to some of this stuff. I'd be curious what his background is. What kind of education and what kind of Day job he did before UA-cam (assuming He quit his day job for UA-cam).
YEP, great questions!!
I'd like to know as well!!
@Marty T how about a video featuring your background?
One commenter some installments ago said Marty was in the logging industry. Wouldn't we all like a Q&A episode?
I heard your pressure valve let loose from your backside....epic.
A Dad having fun with his kids (who are playing outside - what a great idea)!
Absolutely genius. You know you could do that for a business, there’s a market for them. So…what’s your day job? Are you a mechanic,sparky? You have so many talents. Keep the cool videos coming. 👍
Your loss of one wheel, is our gain of one more episode.😅
Adhesive lined heat shrink & ty-wraps...can't do without 'em
Always my go to right after no nonsense know how 🙌
Same here
Marty and Chris are similar, but also very different.
It's always a great day when a video from Marty pops up in my subs! 👍
You are great as a mechanic and as electronic repairman as well, great bro👍😉
Love a good solder and heatshrink sesh! Most satisfying part of the RC hobby!
Now i know who built the pyramids. Marty from NZ.
Marty's just making sure we don't think him a hillbilly lumberjack. Which of course he is. But he's also a damn genius. So brilliant!!
😂
3:12 you don’t need a static strap, you are one of the most grounded UA-camrs I have seen!
😂
I know a fart when I hear one Marty lad haha
Be sure to use hearing protection. There are some quite shrill sounds to cause hearing damage.
Battery tech sure has come a long way. Hard to beat the reliability of combustion though. Love the movie reference edits. Very cool project.😎
I had to look up what a Hall effect sensor even is!
At 16:44 you can also see that most of the main capacitors are bulging. To get this controller to work reliably again you'd probably have to replace all the capacitors, not just the leaked out one on the controller board.
They're not bulging. They look perfectly flat to me.
The seem flat. Where do you see bulging?
Always look forward to a MARTY notification!
Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Hi me too, no bull straight into it.
Here in the state of Maine e bikes are starting to catch on especially in some of areas such as Portland Maine and even in our State parks 😊
this device creates ...giggles ... your kiddo's put a smile on my face.... you might use the working controller to repair the broken controller a decent electronic tech might be helpful .... your approach .... the KISS approach..."K-eep I-t S-imple S-tupid" allow your investigations to reach conclusions ... nicely done
At 5.28 you let out a little trump hahaaa😂
Living in one of the nicest places on earth and having you two for parents. What great memories you are giving them. Oh the fixing was alright I suppose. 😊
It’s always a crapacitor Marty.
Great work, probably never run as well, I suppose you need both hubs working in time to share the strain and load
You've just pushed the bounds of Number Eight Wire Technology to another level brother, great stuff.
The little white car in the backyard should be next 😊
Central California watching
3:21 superglue is a bad idea. At even small amounts of heat, the bond is broken. It's why it's an excellent tool for holding light work on a lathe. You can even use friction to unglue it from a rag. JB weld as you said, any heat resistant epoxy. Never superglue.
11:08 watching you work that motor, i've been thinking. Your area's relatively damp (certainly more damp than mine), you might want to paint these motors to add an extra layer of protection from water. A thick paint will do.
13:55 i got my finger pinched fixing a washing machine motor like that. Wasn't pretty, dark nail and the whole 11 spices of swear words. :))
16:44 am i imagining it, or are the right most caps on both banks a bit bulged?
One step forward, one step backwards. All my projects are the same. Good fun having a go though.
Marty the Joat. For many years I was Bob the Joat but when I moved I didn't share with my friends that I could do stuff like that. 80% of my 'friends' only called me if they wanted something.... for free!
Joat stands for Jack of all trades.
Thanks for sharing your videos Marty,
Best Regards Bob from Virginia USA
What a bummer, so close and yet so far mind you even with one wheel being powered it still looks like fun. For you its annoying, but for us its a 3rd part in this brilliant rebuild project. 👍
Excellent.
Kids seem to like it.
Great video Marty
Being able to fix all sorts of things to this level is one amazing skillset, to edit and produce such quality videos without all the 'hype' language / stupid expressions / unnecessary content that are easy to watch and follow is another. Always look forward to the next video with eager anticipation. Proud to be a fellow kiwi who likes to fix things - but not to anywhere near your level. Used to spend my teenage years in Tennyson Inlet which I'm guessing from some videos is not too far from where you are?
Three kids on the electric quad! Nice job.
18:13 for the fun. Great vid, shows how electronics will last for years... then not. Being able to diagnose and get parts to repair the hub motor was key, though Kelly Controls sound like they would be good to work with, fantastic they'd take time to talk about a part out of production.
Still a successful project in your ability to work out what the issues are
What a lovely family.
The kids are happy so I would say for that part it's a plus, bit more tinkering and some dollars and you will be happy too. Great job on what you have done so far. Safe travels. Ken.
Awesome job figuring out the issues and getting them fixed Marty.
The hub rebuild was a brilliant bit of deduction and coming up with the items you needed.
J.B. weld is easily one of the handiest things to have in your repair kit.
I use it frequently.
Bummer about the controller tho.
Thanks for some Wensday entertainment while I'm eating my slightly late breakfast and couple of mugs of coffee.
That is Second To None the most brilliant work that I've seen yet to be able to take something so small and to be able to figure out what the problem is and then reinstall them you remind me of my brother and my dad so much I don't have the patience that they do or you is truly awesome to watch you fix things wishing you and your family a good Christmas and Merry Christmas
Hello from Canada, Marty 🇨🇦- thanks for the video ; learned something about electric motors today, thanks!
Best time on UA-cam for me 😃 Onya Marty
Great Scott!! This is no Mcfly project here.😎👍
No doubt you will fix it Marty.
Happy Holidays to you n yours Mate 🎉
having watched your vids for a wee while now i am convinced you were some kind of engineer in another life perhaps. Anyways that wee gizmo has the potential to be really scary on 2 wheel drive. Thanks for vid. Later😂
A couple new chines e-bike BLDC controls should get you up and running. The new ones don't even need hall sensors.
You are such a cool Dad!
I miss your videos friend! Could take one everyday. Great medicine. Thank you and hope you and your family are well❤
Now all you need to do is weld new hubs into the old rims and get them to fit and make all the wheels look simular
Mr never beaten strikes again. Good to see, well done.
