Sounds like you have either different parameters or some huge resistance somewhere. But you would probably notice that difference coasting when switching to your other board.
but whereā¦ everything is the same hahaā¦ all I did was swap the trucks and power system from one board to another
Is there anything specific that did change?
Or some magic pixies escaped so maybe find them and put them back.
Did you charge batteries between runs?
Nope I have a 5p pack itās usually food for 3 days of riding haha
Well speed will decrease as pack empties. Everything else should be the same
Speed increased tho haha
And its consistentā¦ between boardsā¦ I was stumped so I figured Iād cone here since it doesnāt make sense
7mph is a huge difference just swapping decks. You did somethingā¦ All your fault.
I really didnt haha and yes I know it is
Esk8 racing in the UK !
Well I finally read through the whole thread and I must say itās been interesting seeing all this innovation and plans for the future. One day I will start putting down the big bucks to upgrade my board/gear and maybe even meet some of you, but until then Iāll be watching from the sidelines and learning!
For this reason I believe sponsorship in this new sport will be required for it to be successfulā¦
I would like to see riders for brands, just like in traditional skateboardingā¦no teams from companies with a bunch of employees or special projects and such, but normal everyday hard core good eskaters, supported and funded to go raceā¦
anyone currently up? i wanna pick yāalls brain on gear ratios for a mesh gear drive instead of chain/belt drives.
gear ratio is gear ratio, donāt matter none if it is driven by spurs, shaft, belt, chainā¦
i have changed my mind on the gear driveā¦ someone brought up a valid point on the belt being a purposeful weak point and being an easier more cost effective replacement vs breaking a gear
So I finally separated this damn stator from the housingā¦ I separated all the phase wires and now I just need to find a can w/mags since the can for this motor was dented and broke (why I took the stator off)
As to the whole reason why, Iām building my 12v delta/WYE switch I mentioned a while back. More 1 motor u would need 2 of the relays in parallel shown in the pic since they are only rated for 40A
Really small package for a delta WYE switch, and the buck converter is to get a constant 12v for the relay
Gearing up to Mod1.5 for the Redmond, Wa 8 mile race on July 14. Will be the fastest avg speed race course to date. Should make things interesting.
