Between silicone and neoprene rubber sheet, which is a better gasket material? And is 0.125" a good thickness for it? I have a massive roll of 0.375" neoprene foam sheet but itâs way to thick and apparently turns to dust under pressure
Edit: enclosure is 9x17âŚdo I get a 12x24 sheet or a small sheet and make 4 ribbons for the edges with wood exposed in the middle?
Edit 2: and is it worth getting the adhesive backed version?
Edit 3: found something called SBRâŚsupposedly this would be a better water proofing material than neoprene since its non absorbent and hella cheap
Over the past few months I have been getting a lot of over current faults when accelerating and throttling too hard. The board cuts out for about 3 seconds and then resumes as if nothing happened until I pin the throttle again. I think this is down to 1 of 2 things and wanted your advice.
1: vesc settings too high:
My vesc settings could potentially be too high and although I never had this problem when I first built the board, I may have upped the settings down the road and didnât see a correlation between the cutouts and my changes.
2: Bad phase wire connections:
A few of my phase wires are in pretty bad shape and in danger of shorting. The wires are frayed and copper wire is exposed, one of which is almost ripped in half.
Before I put my board out of commission for a while while waiting for parts and fixing #2, could my settings be a contributing factor? Both motors lose power when this happens which makes me thing itâs not #2 (although that needs fixed as soon as my other board is ready to substitute)
Iâve seen âHobbywingâ mentioned more than a few times. This is the esc in Wowgo board.
Is it really that good for moderate applications? Smooth throttle/brakes?
Fool proof? (I understand itâs not configurable)
Where can I buy one to run 2 belt motors? The majority seem to be for hubs.
Dunno about that ESC but got a jumper T16 from them (hobbywing) a week ago and no issues with the vendor quick shipping too considering think it came from China to Chicago in a few days.
Solid neoprene would probably be okay, but neoprene foam tends to crush and stay crushed. Never had it turn to dust though.
SBR, Silicone, Nitrile or EPDM are all suitable. Silicone is usually softer (more squishy) than the others, so that could be good or bad.
Iâd try to buy an adhesive-backed strip maybe 1/2"-1" wide and however long, just carefully cutting it for corners and adding a little extra silicone sealant there.
I solder to glass fuses on the charge port. The trick is to sand it slightly with 320 grit before soldering. As mentioned above you have to be quick. Make sure to put the fuse in some foam padding to avoid destruction by vibrations.
I think first I will try an external blade fuse on a XT90s loop key and encase it in a print to protect it, if that doesnât work I will get the sand filled tubes and a holder
Cheap China ESC sometimes doesnât have brakesâŚnow and then it just doesnât work or is super weak but pulsing the wheel makes it work again. Any known fix?
