You might wanna do a search here for BMS ⌠couple of threads and group buysâŚmight wanna just compare it with what you are looking at
I read somewhere on here that 80amps was the sweet spot
YeahâŚBms is rated for use up to 84v I think hey extra room I guess
Is regen critical in a dual 270kv motor longboard setup. I plan on cruising around 20mph on really flat pavement. The esc I am getting does not do regen. Is regen breaking that important?
I have ridden llonboards before but never an electric powered one. I might upgrade to pnuematic wheels and hand brake for more of a mountain board build
What is the relationship between motor size and Kv rating? Like would a 140Kv motor that is 6355 have less torque than a 140Kv motor that is 6374?
The short answer is Yes, the long answer is that the 6374 is more efficient so uses the available Volts & Amps with less waste and less heat giving you a better running motor and therefore more torque, and product life, in the long run.
regen braking = braking in an electrical system.
So if your ESC doesn´t have brakes, you have to footbrake. With 20mph not a good idea.
So better get a proper ESC 
So my Evolve uses 140Kv motors. If I replace them with 200Kv motors (Ollin) of the same size and model, would I lose a significant amount of torque?
You would loose torque, I donât know if a significant amount. Ive never ridden an evolve or used 140kv motors.

Sorry, last question. Right now the setup is 140Kv with a 15:32 Ratio. If I changed it to a 15:36 ratio, would I make up the lost torque? I am worried about voltage sag, but I assume that doesnât become an issue until I reach the lower half of the battery.
I honestly dont know. Sorry mate. You probably want to tale to other evolve owners who have previously modded their boards.

hi, can anyone tell me which order to plug the bullet connectors. And yes we had a small fire on my bed⌠Must get the loop key figured out
Hahah donât solder on the bedâŚand plug them in any order for now

If you donât have a table to work onâŚthe best place is the floorâŚjust careful when you step and just use a box to keep stuff in ⌠not everyone has a esk8 cave

I think this is a good time and place to point out that a piece of ceramic tile is a great fireproof work surface and 12x24 inch tiles are popular and cheap now.

I think the biggest culprit for the fire was not getting the loop key properly on there first. My friend was messing around with stuff until he got both vescs to light up, and we had already figured out how to get the Watt meter to show, but when he tried sticking them between everything else, the fire happened. His fingers got burned and turned black⌠But any ways, I believe the loop key will be my most important task.
