My first instinct is to say boobs, but haveing 2 degrees and over 30 certifications (thanks Pop) I feel like I should state something more profound like âLive and be happy, regardless of your circumstancesâ or âPut your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest actsââŚnah, Iâm going with boobs

hey guys.
I had an enertion 6355 2400 W sensorless 190 kv motor that I just replaced by a 6374 3500 W 190 kv motor from eskating.eu and itâs great since I have more torque on my single drive but with the enertion motor I had a top speed of 40 to 43 kmh and now even if the motor is bigger and more powerfull my MAXIMUM top speed is around 35 km h . Btw both motor were in FOC with the same settings at 60 A.
If ssomeone could help it would be great
Hey, Iâm going to wire a 9S setup to a 10S BMS (this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/36V-37V-42V-10S-60A-Lithium-ion-Li-ion-Li-Po-LiPo-Polymer-Battery-BMS-PCB-System/221769582503?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649) and the question is that, should I get a power brick for a 9S battery setup(like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intelligent-Smart-37-8V-2A-Charger-for-9S-32-4V-33-3V-Li-ion-Li-Po-Battery-EU/221896623314?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649), or for a 10S battery setup?
quick question for you all, was riding the board the other day, going about 1/2 speed on a side walk and i felt the board slowly power down, and turn off⌠screen is unresponsive on the voltage readout. wondering if my BMS died? fuse is still good. thoughts?
Hi. I am using 2 6S LiPoâs for my esk8 that are left over from my RC Heli flying days and am testing my first board and learning how to program the VESCâs. I have them wired in parallel at the moment so I have set my Max Input Voltage to (6 * 4.2) 25.2V, so I am running at 6S as my first test. This is under powered, but I donât want to run at 12S yet and want to try different voltages to find the sweet spot for me. If I wire my packs in series, I theoretically get 12S and max voltage of (12 * 42) 50.4V. BUT, can I limit the voltage and test different âpacksâ simply by setting the Max Input Voltage to a lower value? ie set it to (10 * 4.2) 42V to simulate a 10S pack? Is this safe / anything to worry about? Cheers.
I donât know about simulating a 10s pack but I have lowered the maxes to make my board less powerful. It was way too jumpy. (penny nickel) was also a 12s setup.
Iâd really like to know how to put a 40T pulley on a 55mm wheel?
I think this question is suited directly for @GrecoMan
lol
only 7458t pulley will fit on 55mm wheel
Ah youâre right, I can see how that would fit.

I just bought a handful or two of these from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4BAW6R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
they work really well a bit upset I didnât use them earlier⌠only problem I see with them is need a pretty deep hole to sink them in so you might end up with a hole through your board anyway (can still cover with grip tape). Iâm using them for my electronics box but should work for whatever. Also should mention I cracked a few of these tightening them into the holes so just something to beware of, donât over tighten and or make your holes big enough.

Thanks so much
I have a couple Qs from another thread, but Im hoping for a quicker response here so i can finish some of this work before the 'ol ball and chain gets home lolâŚ
so i have an idea for a swappable eboard/ebike battery (although i probably should have a nice bike battery that mounts to the frame, for now itll be behind me in some sort of container)
1)So for the 8p battery I take the 4 male connectors⌠have 4 wires connect as 1 at the female, pos one side neg the other⌠does this work ok?
for the bike ill use 4 batteries (8p) ⌠for the board Ill use 3 (6p) so wire gauge⌠Im sure the easy answer is the thicker the better, but I have 16ga on hand, and some 14ga some where⌠will the 16 be fine??
2)do all the packs connected have to be the same brand? so if i used 2 ebay packs (lg) and the meepo pack (samsung) any issues?
now perhaps for a stupid newbie question, but i wanted to check voltage on the packs and multi meter isnt giving me 36-42 but a higher number⌠am i on the wrong setting or something?
Try your local hw store. Or where they sell spareparts for cars

Hey everyone. I have two and a half noob questions.
I have a FOCBOX and a VESCX. Is there a premade cable I can purchase to connect them, and if so what is it called?
I have two 190kv motors. (2nd hand enertion and a new Torque Board) TB is sensored, enertion not. Is it a good idea to run one sensored and one not? and if yes what is the plug I should get to go into the FOC (or vescx) I can see the TB has JST-ZH 6pin 1.5mm pitch from their website. No idea what a FOC requires for input though. But I can see its not that. Please and thanks.
Canbus cable I think to connect it. TB sells one premade. Iâm sure there are others. Sensored motor cable
I would run both motors with the same settings.
My iMax b6 lipo charger allows 11 to 18v. However i do not have a power supply yet. Is it voltage, amperage, or both that matters when it comes to charging speed
