IMO thatā€™s fine, or actually a little too tight. Basically you want to be as loose as you possibly can make it, and not have it skip under heavy acceleration/braking.

Thank you Iā€™ll
Give it a shot. Hope it resolves it because I canā€™t wait to throw on the TB110 Artic Bluuueessss. In a couple days.

I think thatā€™s perfect :ok_hand: but i do prefer to run my belts on the tighter side, it does reduce freeroll and increase power consumption, but thats just how i like it

ok guys, so iā€™ve been re-directed here but still cannot find the info i need hence iā€™m asking here. Iā€™ve just had my dual 4.2 flipsky esc failing on me after 1 month. So iā€™ve bought 2 single escs on Amazon (so if they fail iā€™ll have amazon covering the replacement) which i need to connect togheter. I only have 1 receiver (for Vx1 remote) and i guess i only need to power one esc and then connect it to the other esc in order to obtain the dual setup. Does anyone have pictures of how to connect them to achieve the above setup? thank you

Thanks man, I was afraid that it is too loose actually because I ran tighter previously :sweat_smile: but I just snapped a belt this morning and it makes me think it I had it too tight last time :thinking:

Noted on that man, Iā€™ll probably run on this tension setup for a bit and see how it goes :+1:

You gotta use a CAN bus cable or split PPM :+1:

hey, anyone know how the scale on surf rodz adjustable baseplates is intended to be used ?

You are good with soldering and have connectors of choice?

If so, then you only need a Canbus cable (warning: donā€™t power one vesc with canbus cable connected to unpowered vesc. Will blow canbus chips.)

Thanks. Im good at soldering but do not have connectors available beside the 2*ESC Sensor Wires that came with the flipsky dual esc. So i need to buy canbus cable? And how that split PPM work?

You can go three ways here:

Canbus-

With canbus cable connected, all the input is shared between the two vescs in a master/slave relationship. So you donā€™t need to use PPM.

Split PPM/PWM:

No cable needed and you set up each vesc as a single unit, and they only share the remote signal and receiver (one red wire needs to be snipped from one of the receiver cables so only one power wire for both).

(Not as popular an approach) Two receivers:

(I will let the two receiver king @b264 explain.)

Perfect, thatā€™s what i was hoping. Now i need to figure out how to source a canbus cable quickly cause i do not have any availableā€¦ any suggestions?
