Just want to share my new build, it’s pretty much fully complete and I’ve put over 150 miles on it already. The last thing I have left is to hide the wires between battery and ESC under the grip tape but I haven’t bought flat wire to do that yet and it doesn’t bother me enough to charge it right away. I will include links to all components!
Slick looking ride. I like your boxes and that charging plug setup. Does that really make it so you can balance charge through that single port without disconnecting anything?
I attached the port from the inside. You can see the pictures of what the case looks like from the inside and I also linked my case design on thingiverse so you can take a look there also.
And yes the port connects to all the balance leads and the charging leads.
You need to connect the charge leads in parallel to the battery to not have to disconnect anything ever.
@willpark16 Yeah! Their ESC’s are great, best ESC I’ve used so far. I have this one and a Twin motor ESC I use on another build. I do have a VESC and it’s a lot smoother on start up but it always cuts out inside my case cause of the temp.
@Chris_KP Yes the VGA Port is great! there’s no Spark when connecting it and I’m only pushing 2amps through it. Idk how it will handle higher amp chargers but on 5000mAh battery a 2Amp charger is fine for me.
@willpark16 the Flier ESC took about 3 weeks almost the same as my batteries so it was fine cause everything pretty much came together. The Enertion VESC took about a month and a half and now I’m waiting on May’s batch to ship that i ordered back in Feb.
@wieg16 The fuel gauge is just a volt meter showing percentage. it’s not super accurate but it gives me a pretty good estimate of my range. and when the lipos get to low the ESC I have also has a low voltage cut off to prevent the batteries from ever getting to low.
