Major question:
What is the major difference between VESC-Project tool and the ackmaniac (esc) tool?
Which one do yâall prefer and why?

done the test, when joining all 3 there is no chopping in-between just one smooth action (with resistance) but when connecting phases one at a time there is chopping as stated 
Iâve been running Ack 3.102 for a very long time now, never felt the need to update. I am exchanging my standard HM-10 for metr pro.
- Is the new standard vesc firmware worth updating to over older Acks?
- With metr pro and latest standard firmware, can I update both focboxes wirelessly now over Bluetooth?
- latest standard firmware low speed FOC brake fix: is it any good? Jeffâs brake fix applied to Acks is a dream and I donât want to leave that behind
And unrelated questions:
-
Is Davega only for viewing stats or can you connect to it like a BT module and change board settings?
-
120mm foamies⌠are they really 10mm worth of diameter more speed than TB 110s or does the compression not only increase rolling resistance but because of the squishing do they act more like 110mm wheels speed wise?

Should an anti spark read a voltage when itâs âoffâ?
Itâs got a black/yellow/red wire, which crossing should do what?
Trying to find out about range on AT wheels compared to urethane, i know urethane gives better range but by how much? I had a feeling going from urithane to AT wheels would take about 40% off your range?

Thane is typically half of ATâs +/- 10%.

Thane is actually TWICE the range of ATs +/-10%

Thanks guys!
I clarified with @mmaner and he was talking about the wh per mile on the different types of wheels

Hi,
I am about to order Hummie deck enclosure from BigBen and canât decide whether to go for 12s4p singlestack or 12s8p doublestack. I will be running china AT wheels preferably with dropthrough, therefore I am little worried about ground clearance and overall sleekness and weight of the board, the singlestack looks really sleek and slim. I am not sure I need the bigger battery as this will be my first pneumatic board after my 10s3p thane build. Has anybody faced similar dilemma?

What trucks? And what terrain? My experience is either go double stack top mount or single drop through⌠Iâm on single stack, top mount with 6mm risers on surfrodz tkp. That gives enough clearance to drop kerbs slowly and to ride on rough stone tracks. If youâre just road riding you might get away with lower clearanceâŚ

Still please help?
Tb218. Light offroad capability would be nice. My fear is that I will find the battery is not big enough and will be stuck with mediocre range. What is your range experience with singlestack?

What kind of lubricant would you guys use?
(canât have zelaous bearings) and my current Trampa bearing after 700km start to make some kind of squeaking noise sometimes.
Iâve seen the bones speed cream to be one of the most famous ones, but is that lubricant? Or is it some form of a cream.
Do trampa superstar and mbs rockstar II hubs have the same mounting pattern? I see they are both 5 spoke, but I cannot find anything on the exact spacing between mount points. Thanks
EDIT:
Found the answer to thisâŚ
Hi, it depends if you want to be able to carry the board, like into a store or whatever. If youâre going to actually use it for transportation you may want to go for the lighter battery.
If itâs being built for a toy, then maybe the bigger battery.

I get about 32Wh/ mile with high speeds (40-50km/h and lots of off road. Itâs more like 20- 25Wh/mile with moderate speed and road only. My pack is a 12s4p 30q so its an easy 10 miles with lots of reserve worst case.

Hi, i lookinâ for a new lipo pack after killed the old, for my emtb (offroad use), i would have 80amps continue on each motor (vesc6+8085aps) on 12s setup
this
or this
why no one use this 6s 20Ah ? some reason ?

If you want 80A continuous then those â15Câ and â12Câ packs arenât going to work well.
Try to find a â50Câ or â80Câ pack
C means âper hourâ so for example 20Ah times 12C equals 240A
The only problem is that manufacturers severely exaggerate these numbers as a marketing gimmick. You can probably divide by 5.25 to get âactual usabilityâ numbers, so that would mean 22.8A per motor on that pack
If you bought ten of those 6S 12C packs and connected them 5P for a total of 12S5P then youâd have a 12S 100000mAh pack that can do 228A, but itâd cost way too much and be way too heavy
