Just found some double kingpin trucks. Dont know anything about them. They just poped in ad. Maby someone can get their hand on them for tests. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Newly-Developed-Longboard-Double-Truck_60722249977.html
They hold the same price since a while. A lot of people are using them in FOC too with good result. They are stronger then then older maythech or TB vesc actually. I think someone is using them at 12s too, but I would stick at BLDC in that case just in case.
I have ordered 3 from Rc Toy Store, so far all of them are working fine, 2 on my mountainboard (BLDC 10s). I even use one from ebay at 13s on my longboard and no problems so far.
Xt-90s are cheaper
Edit: and reliable enough
Wow 6awg, 130-200A? Dang…
This is still cheaper than a switch
wath about this vesc and remote https://es.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-control-remoto-de-un-solo-motor-el-ctrico-longboard-monopat-n-controlador-ESC-sustituto-de/32857633779.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.292.1d733c00ZTdyGX ?
Thats not a vesc. That is a generic chinese esc.
and how is that remote control
Generic remote but also receiver locked to that cheap esc. I wouldn’t venture there
I had that esc and I haven’t had any problems, around 1000W but I could get around 40kmh topspeed on my board. (drive.google.com/file/d/1ODYLqrgRX4RlyCE4R2LP6B4fdLLGYLPq/view?usp=drivesdk) For me it actually worked fine. Good and smooth acceleration and brakes.
I have a used one that I can sell for cheap. It’s an ok esc for cheap and simple project.
Keep in mind, it’s a 10A esc. That means at 10s, 37V, the board will have about 370W of power. Compared to a Boosted (2000W) or what is typical around here (4000W), it’s very underpowered. A big motor won’t help if you can feed it with electrical watts
Anyone tried this
Because the AliExpress store buys in bulk so they can offer better prices
Edit: or the AliExpress store is the supplier
maybe flipsky is calculating their own manpower into the price, there as big platforms have a system that is reducing cost greatly, since it is just another item, like the million others they offer.
