Can hobbywing do motor detection?
These motors are likely to have a +/- 10% acceptable variance on the Kv from the factory. So around 148.5 to 181.5 Kv
FYI

Not that I know of. The Hurricane uses Lingyi.
yes with a big quotation mark, this function is not being advertised, and has only been shown in a single video from dkwan (out of all the prebuilt board video that i’ve seen that uses hobbywing esc). i highly doubt even if that feature still exist, not many people is even aware of its existence.
edit: when i was swapping the belt drive to hub drive on my x1pro, on the exway app, after u toggle to another drivetrain setup, app will ask u stay away from the drivetrain for a bit, and it does seem to do some sort of motor detection, but i can’t say for sure.

I’m kind of surprised by the amount of variance. If you get a set of motors and one is -10% and the other is +10%, that seems like it could lead to issues.
Yes there can be quite a variance. But typically motors are within a few KV. This is at least true for my motors. I used to test the first few batches I got and the biggest variance I found would have been under 3kv if I happened to install the 2 particular motors on one board

How do you know the current it is rated for? I could never find that information based on the information printed on the ESC or looking up the parts.
Also, yes, pre-built companies have very over priced replacement parts 
Only time I’ve seen them at a good price is the batteries from backfire which can end up being priced very generously. Or at least that was the case last year when I got a battery through them.
They also allow for some variance in the remote used if it is another Ling-yi based remote. Although a poorly paired remote will result in some issues and delays but it isn’t bad enough to make a board a death trap.
meepo had 2 esc version for the hurricane, they look different, so u can tell just by looking at it. also meepo listed them both on their website, one being 70a, another 100a version.
oof, i would not put that much faith on it. i was superman once because of their battery bms cutout on me 
This does not help me identify any Ling-yi ESCs 
I just want to know so I can figure out the exact amps being put through my hub motor that refuses to die
This is why you bypass the BMS if using the battery with a VESC 
I’ve not had any issues with capacity or cut out after 10 months of heavy use. I still have just a ling-yi esc in my board but once I switch to my new VESC I’ll be bypassing the BMS to avoid that problem.
u won’t be able to tell which is which, except maybe how recent it is. my guess is, most older lingyi esc is only about 40a, the foc-lingyi start with 60a iirc.
i had zero battery knowledge at that time. lean forward hard to brace for full throttle, next thing i know i was sliding on the ground already

I can tell which ones are super old but I don’t know a set date since they don’t publish that information online. I think even searches in Chinese didn’t bring any information up. Been a while since I looked tbh
That is me when I forget my board is in reverse and hit accelerate while bracing forward reverse is banned for me because I never learned and kept making that mistake
Yes. 9028 version does motor detection. I have a 12s and 13s version sitting here and they both worked with flipsky 6354 150,190kv and onsra 6368 170kv and also flipsky 6374 190kv. All detected fine.
How do you do detection?

u press the power button a bunch of times

Lmao how many
i wish i know bro, but i don’t
wild guess, 6 times

With the power button. From off, press and hold until it blinks then press it 5 times. Detection starts….motors spin and after it figures out the rotation. Switch off then on and good to go. (Not my video)

9028 motor detection worked with boundmotor direct drives

Did anyone answer/figure if those 170kv motors will work? I’m currently trying to figure out if Trampa 6386 sensorless 165kv will “plug and play” with my LingYi 70 amp(very old but don’t want to spend $1k just yet between motors and ESC)
