I was wondering the same butâŚ
The shaft

I know but you could adapt it to fit straight onto a specialised bearing on the wheel and the screw end fits into a truck

It seems doable, but very difficult - maybe easier as a direct driveâŚ
Iâll stick to belts for now lol

Do you think that both shafts turn with power?
Do you they are separated or not?
I assumed only 1 turns but maybe wrong
Also when I said hub I meant direct drive sorry

Desired ERPM = Loaded ERPM * Desired MPH / Loaded MPH
where Loaded MPH is the fastest it will go, but will suck a lot of juice in doing so. Limiting the speed to a tad under that will greatly increase range.

Itâs just one shaft, pinned to the bell

Even better, it actually looks like that shaft could be removed (possibly replaced with a shorter shaft�)
I just tried the Smart reverse function with the Flipsky vx1 via PPM (PWM) (bench test) and every now and then the motor hitches on startup. It even has some visible spikes.
Every spike is going in Reverse with Smart reverse. Every Black box is a hickup when going reverse.
Video coming in a bit.
Any idea? Vesc is freshly set up with FW 3.62 4.12HW
Video 1 with the view of the Motor.
Video 2 with the view of the Duty cycle
How? It took me yet again roughly 3 hours to get it working but only after switching to ackmaniac.
The regular vesc tool always tells me the firmware of one vesc is too old, no canbus was detected, i need to check if my vesc is even plugged in. It always swiches up the VESC ID so on and so forth.
@b264 Now all infos are here, if you have any idea.

Thx a lot for explaining! Got the value i want. Now itâs testing time

Curious why the calc I gave in the codesandbox link didnât work for you, does it just need more explanatory text on how to get the values to input next to the inputs? The regular calc on the site here is good in general, but seems easier to me to calculate this value directly only value I think is probably confusing is the ratio but itâs just your wheel pulley teeth divided by the motor pulley teeth (usually 36/16 or 36/14, if pneumatics maybe 62/16)
It worked. I just now pressed on your comment and saw the sandbox link. Before i was in my car i liked you comment but didnât read it all the way and forgot about it. My bad! Really do appriciate it!
The value of your sandbox calc is much easier. Didnât have to open a calculator It gave the same value offcourse.

Nice. So iâm at the point again where nothing makes sense. Just set up both vescs but only 1 is reacting to the remote.
What is the trick behind canbus (yes i know)
Do i set each vesc up seperately and connect them afterwards via can or do i set them both up while connected via can?
And why in [Insert Name here] does it still happen that the vesc tool says my firmware is too old even though i literally updated it minutes ago?

EDIT : I fixed it. You wanna know how? I switched to Ackmaniac. God damn finally something that works.
A prompt to choose what iâm currently setting up + IT EVEN SAVED IT °cough° VESC tool always fucked that up °cough°. Couldnât be easier.
Thanks @mmaner for always recommending ackmaniac. (if i remember correctly)

Has anyone tried these wheels
If you order three to uk you get free shipping so you would have to order in 2 batches
Thanks

Ok so I bought these 5.5mm bullets for my harware bin, and they do not fit together, like at all. I have not taken a hammer to them, but I feel like I shouldnât have to. Am I missing something here?

They are typically very tight, and soldering wires to them might make it feel a lot different

Try taking a hammer to a pair.
Seriously though, they tend to be very tight, especially the first time. The machine used to make the splits at the factory is probably in need of a calibration. Once theyâve been assembled once generally the spring pressure reduces a little.
Larger bullets are generally tighter than the smaller ones.
Thatâs one thing I really like about the bullets used in AS150 connectors (I think 7mm?) - The spring force comes from a separate spring, not just split and bent bullet, and the current path does not pass through the spring - Thus no chance for the spring to overheat and lose its springiness.
Other bullets (2, 3.5, and 4mm) also have a separate spring, but itâs right in the current path, which is far from ideal.

Took a hammer to a pair. Bulged out the female, crushed the male, and it would not go in any further than the slits once they were totally crushed.
Also tried putting heat to them, and no luck. I think i may have just bought some stinkers.
Anyone have a link to quality 5.5mm bullets?

I have those and they fit together fine
