Unity set up.

I have gone with the stock settings when setting the unity up, given my board set up is there a setting i can safely change for a bit more poke from start and at low speed?? Currently it kinda hits a power band at circa 15mph!

Check out FastLED, it’s library will blow your mind clean off desert eagle style ::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:https://www.reddit.com/r/psytrance/comments/8l1vt8/built_something_fun_to_bring_to_festivals/ Totally r/whoadude type of stuff, but is takes arduino as logic controller

You can increase motor amps max, up to maybe 120a. But that gearing with that kv with that size wheel is gonna be high speed low torque.

Beauutiful build, thanks for posting. You’re not giving yourself much room for #2!

I have been playing with tinkercad (thanks for the tip @olestra :wink: )

I have this xlite 100 which i quite like

It nearly fits in the socket but the 3d printed cable riser is a slight obstruction

So i wanted to make my own riser to house the light but retain the cable guides

So pretty much wrapping this up, the board runs great, black filament arrived and the riser was printed and fitted, no drama there. Also the TB110 wheels arrived, these were part of my original plan for this board, and i love em with this drive train.
