My total budget is around 2300 usd. It will be used more as a toy. I’m going to be using a trampa 35 Short deck with 8in wheels. Mostly on the street, but during the summer more off roading. I don’t have any other parts as I’m still pricing together a parts list.
So I have a small space problem within my enclosure so I would like to top-mount my vesc. Anyone got a suggestion? Preferably for two 4.12 vesc’s and a antispark switch.
I’m doing my first build and just was wondering what parts you guys recommend when it comes to motors, mounts, and VESC. I’m looking to get around 25-30 mph for the top speed. Also can you use the push to start switch on a belt driven board? And can I use this remote with 2 VESCs?
I just made a total noob mistake and wanted some advice. I mixed up my battery config in the esk8 calculator when selecting a gear ratio and already bought a chain drive train with a 4.2 ratio. I was planning 2 6s Lipo packs in series but mistyped it as a single 6s pack and it threw off my calculations. According to the calculator 6s would give me the speed I want with enough torque, but 12s would be twice as fast as I want, but also half the torque at the same gear ratio.
To me it seems like I have two options; use a 6s battery and keep the gear ratio as it is, or go 12s and change the gear ratio which will be more difficult since I would need to make a 72tooth or higher count sprocket to fit Superstar hubs since I can’t find any online. Is there a disadvantage to doing the former with 6s if I keep the amperage under 80 with a focbox?
What I’ve heard , it’s probably better to go with a 6s 2p becaus you’ll have a better idea range , and 12s puts your vesc to the limits of it capabilities which can therefore shorten it’s life , hope this helps
