Yeah this is a racestar. This build is for my son, I haven’t even got sensors on MY build!
Is C37 missing for a reason? Btw I don’t bother with adapters just snip and solder on the wires from the correct plug
Strangely I’m doing another build for the kids now. Waiting on parts but using the 270kv motor and FVT120 esc and 6s. Cheeeeeeep
I got the JST connector for it and just spliced it with the motor sensor wires, both on ebay for only a few bucks.
Don’t wanna take this off topic, but IMO the perfect low cost kid setup has to be the ego2 rear truck/motor(160kv) assembly, it’s $30 and comes with everything minus wheels and gear for wheel. Indestructible covers on motor and belt. 90mm wheel set with gear installed is $40.
This is an inferior VESC from somewhere unknown, I bought it second hand from someone here on the forum, before I find out it was inferior (of course) and then had to buy another one!
I’ve already replaced a couple of caps, which one is c37 then?
I’m using this because it’s quite underpowered, perfect for my son… Lol
That’s what I’ll probably do
Thanks. What is it responsible for then? Looks like a big one. Would it be that that’s making it under powered you think? You know where I could get one? Rs-components?
Cheers
I’m surprised it works without it, is c51 on there? They’re the same component. You can put 4.7/10/22uf 100V 2220 cap there. 22uf is best if you can get it or stack the others if that’s all you can get. Also if you any dead vescs you can take it off c37/c51 on there
Where would C51 be!?
I’ve already added C44 & C49 because they were missing
It’s on the other side, above shunt
Ah! C51 was one of the ones I had to add in myself
It was a while ago, I’d forgotten what reference it had.
Well, I guess I’ll get a C37 and put it on there, can’t hurt can it?
Hurt, no, help, yes lol Add c14 too if you have it
lol. So is C37 the same as C51?
Yeah it’s the same part
OK cool. I’ll just order the same as I got last time then.
What’s this c14? Another one missing?
Yeah c14 tends be left off cheap vescs, it’s not required but helps. I may be mistaken but I think that was one the changes between 4.10 and 4.12, adding c14. It’s between the red and black wire
