Hi guys, I was browsing youtube and found this guy in Korea using bike radial steering damper on trucks to manage wobble and etc. Later on, by doing small research I found there are mechanical ones with a dial and electrical ones which use a 12V solenoid valve to manage the damping. Went on eBay found some second-hand electric steering dampeners cheaper than new mechanical. Was thinking it would be cool to connect the dampeners to VESC to get speed information and adjust the stiffness accordingly.
What do you think about this idea? I am thinking of something similar for my build
Here is the video I found:
Here is damper on eBay (There are many different style and model available)
Yeah Nowind has a steering damper on his trampa and Moestooge also has one on his race board… search em out. There is a pic of Nowinds in the pic thread.
Sounds cool bro
if you can make it work…
Will you be able to adjust front rear bias? that would be the shiznit
Fast turn in on the front, more stable rear…
Having a 4WD eSk8 with active yaw control would be awesome too!
Do you think you could program that?
Yes, taking CAN/UART information from VESC RPM I guess because I don’t think VESC outputs speeds, and map a graph of dampness for each range of value or have separate SERVO input to be able to control from remote.
I will be using honda original part so I don’t think it should fail, plus the load difference between real bike and longboard is day and night difference I think
might be better off using a stock 2017 cost effective part, could be hard for numbers of other people to use what you learn.
can’t wait to see what weight oils and valving you use to make it work.
