6389 x 8 | quad unity/stormity | 12s/18s tattu | RedEmber 44

Swapped the EC5 to an XT90. I don’t have any female or male EC5 connectors. And I’ll use fresh AS150s or chunky short castle 6 or 7mm bullets later.

The new 3s pack is in the mail.

I charged this pack the same way I would other wise charge the tattu packs. I don’t exceed 14a on charge. Usually just go to 4.1v a cell.

Old packs range from 2.5 to 5-6 mOhm for cell IR measured toward end of charge

They were 1.5mOhm-ish at start of use I think. Close to these new packs.

And finally, a discharge back to storage voltage.

I have two weeks off for vacation. After I move my gear to new place, #4motors1truck is my only focus.

I was always annoyed by April fools day, it ranks up there with how I feel when someone reminds me of tax day or when a cop tells me my drivers license is expired.

The most grievous Calendar based humor derives from leap year jokes and riddles about how you are 9 years old but really 36.

What an unfortunate day to post updates in more than 8 months. Jesus, humans were conceived and birthed in that amount of time.

  • Print quality is bad and I should feel bad. (I’m new to superslicer)

-the data on the balance charger screens above doesn’t really tell me much about the packs ultimate performance other than they came from the factory balanced and are all similar in age.

I can print some up on the Prusa if you need , also got two BN plates you can borrow for a bit like we talked about :grin:

So much room for logo or text. Lmk if you need to make any changes or are making another version. Designing motor plates is my favorite.

To keep me out of rabbit holes, the next substantive updates here will be plates, clamp, and crossbrace on a truck with motors, pulleys, belts, and cam rollers (idler)

Then I’ll need help refining my .dwg/.dxf files.

The minimum order size of cut parts is 30. So do some more leap year based maths,

I only need 4 of these plates. There will be multiple sets I’ll be happy give out to folks.

I am going to stick to belts. don’t want to mess with angular bearings. I have the belts and pulleys on hand and ratios figured out.

Do you have access to laser engraving? You can design what ever you to be on the sides faces

You can get a text/design cut directly into the aluminum. The minimum order is 1 at sendcutsend, I have done some plates from there before. You can PM the dimensions of mounts, I can help out with the design.

Plates and clamp in STL and STEP

Don’t judge my non fusion360 having ass. I use an iPad Pro with shapr3d business edition

@Titoxd1000 the only critical dimensions for the pulley belts and motors to easily work are
-the two center to center absolute distances in mm from a 30mm motor mount to truck center.
-the angle between all three centers.

I haven’t put in the idler pulley yet. I’m going to figure that out IRL with the 3d prints. I might use two.

I’m totally open to anything or features anyone suggests. Gotta stick to 2D.

Can I see?

I’ll take a look at it later today.

Here is one for urethane. Nothing fancy but works well

Can confirm, simple and works great.

I guess the minimum orders are different than I thought.

This might get pricey. You don’t wanna know the titanium prices. I really want to electro anodize/oxidize to rainbow whatever.

The carbon fiber was well above 150 per plate.

I have a new appreciation for @moon’s plates.

That is scs? Damn, got more expensive than I remember.

I picked 7000 series aluminum. 6000 and the 5052 will work too.

Titanium for plates is viable from a thermal properties perspective. Aluminum is good for 2wd drive bc they can get hot and the motor mounts transfer some heat away.

4 6389s rarely get hot. 8 won’t be an issue for a less thermally conductive material.
