What about the connector? 3.5mm bullets/MT60 good enough?
Those should be fine at 65A.

Hi, I have two questions
-
I’m building a 12S3P 18650 pack for a dual motor(6355-190kv) setup. I can buy LG HG2 for $3.5/cell. Samsung 30Q is a little cheaper but it provides 5A less than HG2. Which one should I get?

I’m planning to install both motors on the back. Would you guys recommend installing one on front and one on back ?
You should get 30Q for a 3P battery. Also use discharge graphs and not just the ratings sheet from the manufacturer

You mean dual diagonal? Its only real benefit is extreme traction in snow, rain, et cetera. (You still have one wheel on each truck steering even if the drive wheels are skidding) Also sometimes it allows you to use narrow trucks with huge motors. Sometimes it means you will have torquesteer though.
If you do that, rear heelside and front toeside

dose anyone have a cheap gear drive? for mbs wheels and cal 2 trucks
define “cheap” LoLz
less than $450?
Does it have to work?
less than 400
yes do you have any other cheap drive ideas
i would perfer chain drive or hubs not from ali or anything like that
Why not get a very good belt drive for that price? I think chain drive is cheaper, but it’s more noisy.

What is the white plastic with the wires to the e-switch and can I remove it?
That appears to be a temperature sensor, but the photo is a wierd angle. If so, you need to keep it there. It’s even better to stick it in the battery somewhere. Minus the metal screw.
Just floating by a cell?
Yes, just next to a cell.
Wait, is that screwed to the heatsink? If so, leave it there. I can’t tell from that angle.
Yeah it’s screwed into the heatsink, same wire base as the e switch

On a single motor esk8 should I rotate the “motor” wheel to even out wear and tear?
