Depend on your wood but I donā€™t think so, they are close but not too much. Sounds good to me but be careful when drilling thoses !

someone has the measure of the clamp of these trucks

Did you drill those holes before checking them? But to answer your question it shouldnā€™t but you should check it with a baseplate and if the holes line up with the 6 holes on the baseplate you should be good.

So I read up on PPM vs CAN. I can see the pros and cons between the two. My question is if I were to do dual receivers instead of PPM and use CAN to get the telemetry functionality of the Bluetooth module, will this setup work? I know thereā€™s somewhat a redundancy in this but Iā€™d like to have a failsafe just in case one of my focbox decides to malfunction.

Thanks in advance

But now you know it. You can run your 12s with 200kV motors :relieved:

You want to have 2 remotes like double fisting remotes? But to use a Bluetooth module you will want to select ppm+uart on the vesc/bldc tool

Namasaki was able to bind 2 receivers w one remote. It was one of those trigger type. Not g2b. I believe it was the mini remote. Here is the link.

So instead of using the servo splitter y connector. Iā€™d do 2 receivers bound to one controller. So each Vesc will be setup identical as both masters. No slave Ves. And use can bus to use it for telemetry using the Bluetooth.

You can definitely bind 2 mini receivers to one handset but as for telemetry across canbus Iā€™m not sure. I think that uart only works in a master slave config. Might be worth a thread really. Hit the search if you havenā€™t already and if you get no joy I would be creating a thread to get help on that. Its probably some thing a few people would like the answer to.

2365

You can, just enable can but donā€™t enable the can control options. give each VESC an ID and your good to go.

So by that logic I could ostensibly connect a split ppm and use can bus for telemetry?

2367

Much appreciated for the help! Best of both worlds w this setup.

Thanks again!!!

Will this plug work to charge a 12s battery? It says 30v max, but I havenā€™t found a higher rated one.

Is there a gauge requirement for the wire that bridges the xt90s female antispark connections?

2372

12 gauge should be fine ten will be better
