Ok. could you keep me updated thanks 
I’ve got these, haven’t been able to properly test them though. I’m planning on running them on 10S. I’m hoping I’ll be able to put a decent amount of motor amps through them without overheating but we’ll see. You’ll probably be fine at 20ish battery amps per motor so I wouldn’t worry about having a crazy high discharge battery.
The mounts are kinda annoying since they have no way to adjust belt tension so I may end up filing them out a little. Also there is a spacer between the wheel bearing and the pulley bearing and its inner diameter is bigger than the axle so it rattles around and gets really annoying. I ended up replacing it with a regular bearing spacer and some washers to make it long enough.
Also, the kingpin bolt isn’t really long enough for most bushings so I swapped out the baseplate to a caliber V2 one and now I’ve got some blood orange barrels on em since the bushings them come with are complete garbage.
I also swapped out the wheels to 83mm ABEC11 Flywheels and the axles are barely long enough to fit them, I had to remove some washers to get the nut on far enough so we’ll see how that holds up.
I may end up rewinding them to change the kV cause 270 is way to high for 10S but they might be able to put out the kind of power I’m looking for regardless.
Ok thanks for all the info. would 52A be enough then?
What about running parallel 10,000mah 3s Lipo. Ik 3s isn’t recommended but idk?
I’m not sure he’s a legit seller yet. Someone should make a thread… wait
Hey man stick to the script!

this is the riptide r1 drive train

Depends on which cells you’re using. As far as I know there’s no standard for testing safe discharge rates. Li-ion cells ratings are usually pretty accurate, however the same can’t be said for lipos, especially MultiStar. People usually assume they’re good for half of what their rated for. But yeah I’d shoot for around 60A.
I can always switch between them and see which i prefer
it looks like a boosted drive train too.

this is the same kit @diyeboard is peddling, shenzen seems to be mass producing this kit, used on benchwheel and others
Might make a decent beginner board.
Ok thanks guys for the info I will definitely buy it. maybe change the pulley ratio depending on how well it works

Let us know how it is
I definitely will. I won’t be building it for at least another 3 weeks tho

A 5000mah 20C Lipo will not really handle 100A. Not in any practical sense anyway.
the whole AH x C = discharge is basically a farce.
If your building a Lipo pack for high current demand, you would do well to get something with 60C - 90C rating.
Ok well that should still be enough right?
It depends on many factors.
