Longtime lurker, first time build poster.

I’ll hit details soon, but with the Renegade races in Vegas almost on us, I hit a snag. Does anyone local to LA, San Diego have a flipsky dual 6.6 they would trade for two singles or sell ASAP? This fit is no damn good:

Update: -@psychotiller and @mccloed hooked me up with some more parts last minute. Pulled an all nighter, drove to races next day. -went to Vegas, didn’t finish build… again (missed 4wd setup for evolve World Cup too)! -use bathroom as workshop. -build complete. -now in an uber to see esk8 gods at the oasis. If you are going to pop an esc, this is the place to do it. I burned some heatshrink as a symbolic offering before I left. May they find the smell of hot electronic bits and burned finger tips compelling and allow this board to take flight.

Why not 4* focbox?

Really interested in the electronics youve got going on! Whats with the usb’s? and the wireless relay? How are you running 4WD with 2 ESC’s?

He’s using 2 FOCboxs as well as two FSESC6.6s by the looks of it

The UBEC is to provide power to lights that will hopefully be controlled with the little remote. I also wanted to board to double as the penultimate USB battery pack.

I’ve got two trusty focboxs and a dual flipsky 6.6 up front.

Scrapped the diebiems secondary to discharge limitations.

… I do have three of those things, and other packs, maybe when the “slave bms over canbus” opens up, I’ll return to those.

Some maths:

Here it is finally working:

It was the ppm splitter all along! I made my own shorter one. I unclipped the positive wire from the 6.6 dual vesc. image

I dunno, the asymmetry bothers me. They were available @psychotiller ‘s garage and I was a jerk and didn’t plan ahead to order Both the pair of boxes and a heat sink. The flipsky has a sink that fits perfectly on the deck. image

(The blue tape is soon to go)

Do you think that the BMS would limit two 6380’s running on a 12s pack? (with focbox unity)?

Wow beautiful. I can’t wait to see you ride it in a video

The unity says it’s good for 160A continuous. The torqueboards 6380s are rated at 80A each.

A 12s battery would have to be at least 8p if your shooting for max out the 80A in the vesc battery max settings. (Assuming 30q cells).

I went charge only BMS for this. image

The diebiems has an 80A fuse on it (2nd group buy batch). I’ve seen posts with pics of 100A fuses and I think the BOM could technically rate it at 120A.
