On next battery, I’ll do some cell level fusing and solder the whole thing (that’ll cut 40 bucks off the cost).
For an enclosure, hit up @psychotiller
He does a great job. He has a lot of designs on his site, and he’ll do custom enclosures to your specs.
Thanks!
When I connected this esc to the fvt usb link and clicked “read settings” nothing showed up (except for “ok” on the bottom right).
I’d love to try out some new firmware.
Hmm…Maybe Maytech loaded their own firmware? Did they say this should work with the FVT USB Link and FVT firmware? The firmware I have is directly from FVT.
woa, that looks extreme!! curious how this will ride, quite an experiment, nice job!
since its meant for urban, maybe try trampa/mtb or the freebord bindings that I got on my spud - think that could make this beast even more fun for stairs & co!
Well I hit a bit of a road block.
The cnc shop forgot to thread the two holes that hold the motor mount together.
I got a tap kit to thread the holes myself, but the tap broke inside the hole.
Only thing left to do is fix that, so I could mount the motor.
and I thought I was the only guy in the world with that issue. I just couldnt ride my trampa for very long - at least not in a touring carving way. wondering if I bought the wrong flex or something, but according to trampa the middle holypro should have been fine for my weight.
sorry for the tap incident, thats pretty annoying and sounds really hard to fix with just drilling the hole again through the tap - think these things are really hard.
Dude, get concentrated nitric acid and leave motor mount inside for couple hours, it should dissolve tap, aluminum will form aluminum oxide on it’s surface and won’t etch further. You’re welcome
