Just make sure you don’t push it if it seems to be struggling. If you’re going 5mph up a hill at full throttle, you’re probably going to blow something.
Does this build sound ok to you?, is there anything I’m missing?
Everytime I start to research I end with more questions than when I started:
I couldn’t find a slim enclosure for the battery pack, are there any low profile enclosures available for it?
Do I need 2 VESC?, One for each motor?
The Turnigy SK3 6374 192kv has 2750W the DIYER 6374 190kv has 3150W, would there be a lot of difference in performance?
The battery pack I selected would force me to get a stiff deck, however I like the feeling of the bamboo, are there any 10S4P flexible battery packs with enclosures?
Another doubt is I’m not sure if I should go with the 6355 192kv 3250W or the 6374 190kv 2500W motors
I’m using a single 6374, along with a lot of other people. I think two of those is more than enough… don’t really need the 6355’s.
I’d like to turn the board on/off from the remote, maybe to turn it on as soon as the remote is turned on and visceversa.
Turning the board off with the remote could be possible, but probably requires some programming. If you want to turn in on with the remote you will need constant power on the ESC otherwise it cannot receive the ‘turn on’ signal. So that will be difficult to accomplish, unless you install another receiver that is connected to a power switch…
Looking forward to seeing the progress! Again, since my build is almost identical to your build.
Differences are basically just that I’m waiting a little while for DIY to come out with their wider Caliber-style trucks and I might try to make the enclosures out of carbon fiber.
I should be getting the 3D print enclosure for the VESCs on Monday, hopefully I’ll get the battery on Thursday. The only problem is I’ll be getting the remote in 20 days =) what a bummer…
