Sorry to keep asking. But do you know which would provide more power? 2 flipsky 5065 or 1 sk3 6374?
Probably could get more power from the two 5065, but I would use Racerstar 5065 and run them unsensored.

Whatās the advantage of unsensored?
Sure, but the motors I suggested were about the same price. Youāll save a lot more by going single drive with a 6374 or a 6380, because you only need one ESC.
In my experience, the sensors are almost always the first thing that breaks. If youāre not using them ā¦ then your board just keeps running. Also, itās much easier and cleaner to run only 3 wires and use an MR60 connector. You can epoxy that into the enclosure for a nice watertight connection. Not so much if you also have 5 or 6 sensor wires per motor.
Why havenāt you programmed a chat bot that parses your response history yet?

Ohhh I see, what I meant was that i currently have those three motors and everything. I was wondering what I should put on for the time being until I can afford nicer motors
Surprise, I am a chatbot. Nobody would know, because there are no other esk8ers here anyway

Seems to work better. No big deal. Someone could ride your board goofy anyway. They do work both ways. Iād do heelside if given the choice.

what problems might i encounter when riding (or more generally) if i have a caliber II truck on the front and a Bourdnamics 220mm hanger in a Caliber II baseplate on the rear? (front and rear will have the same cal II 50 degree baseplate)
-
also a bit confused as to why Bourdnamics 220mm hanger can accomodate up to 2 x 6380 motors, whereas the Caliber II which is 10 inchs / 254mm (34mm wider than the BDās) is too narrow for dual 6374ās or above?
Nope, connection seems to be ruled out because the bar is steady when I paired it with another VX1 remote that I haveā¦
Maybe something in the remote itself but I do not know what is causing thisā¦
I want to 3d print sleeves that go completely over my motor (to prevent debris and water from getting in)
Iām concerned about the slots that are in the motors, would this mess up cooling?

I printed myself sleeves a year ago, thats still the first set, no cuts or anything broken. Printed with flexible TPU in the mode āSpiralise outer contourā (Vase mode) The motors definitely see an increase in temps but thats by all means not a huge margin.
Color is black because i only had white at that time.
I usually put them on if i know it gets dirty,muddy,wet or rocky. They just slide on and off.

What tolerance did you use? Iām thinking just making the diameter 51mm for my 50mm motor so it slides on easily
1 Like
the torqueboard motors (6374) have a outer diameter of roughly 63.80mm The file i have from the sleeve is 64.14mm with a line width of 0.4mm, so technically 16mm per side (but somehow that sounds a bit much).
Canāt say 100% because i used different slicer settings back then.
I printed several prototypes to get the best fit.

Just wired up a new board and the charger is only charging @ 300mA. Iām trying to figure out if itās me or the hardwareā¦ I have a smart bms wired charge-only to a 12S 10AH battery, and Iām charging with a 12S 8A lipo charger (links below). I havenāt used this charger before, and I donāt have a power supply handy. The BMS app doesnāt appear to have any settings concerning charge rateā¦ Could I be missing something obvious?
