18s compatable motors

Crixus · June 23, 2021, 5:51pm

Thats the dream!
I need to keep somewhere in the 30-35mph top speed range, and throw everything else possible at torque. Will definitely share everything about the build in these forums as she progresses! Including any failures along the way!

I hope you guys realize what an insane amount or torque yall are after.

My 18s with 1:4 ratio on those 165kv TB motors and 8" tires…already at an unusable amount or torgue…I am sure if I pull full throttle the tires will just spin until they explode

I’m hoping mine will be the sweet spot for 9” tires all around. 5.5:1, 165kv, 18s. Maybe even go 4wd in the future

I am going to try some 10" tires on my set up…for lulz…I am fully expecting to hate it. Got some from alibaba

Taraskasyanyuk · June 23, 2021, 6:00pm

Lol I’ve been wanting to! Lmk which ones you get.

Skyart · June 23, 2021, 6:00pm

Il send some pics when I get home

Skyart · June 23, 2021, 6:02pm

I got these lol…again 100% expecting to hate them

Taraskasyanyuk · June 23, 2021, 6:05pm

Haha wonder if they have any off road ones. Those would shred on trails.

What torque values does your setup get in the esk8 calculators? (https://calc.3dservisas.eu/) I’d be interested to see how it compares to my current 1:7 gear ratio setup.

Riding off-road, strapped in with snowboard bindings, and trying to rocket up ridiculously steep muddy hills from a slow or standing start… the torque requirements are totally different than road riding, or light trail riding. I can’t see how you would ever have too much

Skyart · June 23, 2021, 7:22pm

According to that calculator
73.5 Nm
54.2 ft/lbs

Crixus · June 23, 2021, 7:31pm

Jesus, thats way more than I expected! Whats the power rating on those motors? Have you got a link for them?

Skyart · June 23, 2021, 7:59pm

6k watts apparently, no link, if you want some DM me

It took me way too long to realise you must be doing 4wd to get those torque values from those specs. And now it all makes sense. I want to stay 2wd. So no need to worry about me overdoing it with the torque.

Your motors,
2wd,
1:6,
18s,
comes out to 55.1Nm, (which is only a tiny bit more torque than I have now, and the speed is more than I need)

The goal is to stick to the max speed I like, and stay 2wd. But up the torque and range.
