I made a calc that should roughly give the right values if you know the diameter and mounting distance (center to center between pulleys) https://jikph.csb.app/ also can use a string to wrap around then measure the length if you have it mounted usually just buy a couple around the right size.
Back out mounting screws make sure they arenāt plunged down into the coils, not sure how it is with these motors but happens a lot with quadcopters you screw in too far or too long screws can scrape enamel off the coils and make things short internally (just guessing though still, something to check)
Can you measure the resistance between the phases? A to B, A to C and B to C.
Thanks for the suggestion, which screws are you talking about ?
@tipsy I will need a multimeter, ordering one right now. I will report back when I get it. I knew I would need one at some point. Thanks
I donāt have any Calibers on hand to measure, unfortunately.
You should make the fit as tight as you possibly can and still get it on there. So no, I think 1mm is WAY too loose. Iād go with like 0.05mm, and see where that gets you.
Possibly bearing?
I was thinking the ones you have pictured in A, the ones for B should just be helping to hold the can on I think and shouldnāt run into the coils at all but the ones that come in from the top/bottom of the cylinder usually donāt have something to stop the screws/bolts from being too far screwed in.
Noob question! hahaha.
Can somebody explain different battery configurations to me? I am trying to decide which to go for for a custom board Iām going to build. Iām seeing all sorts of battery configs like 10s6p, 12s3p (I think) etc.
To give you some more information about the build, Iāll be using 120mm wheels, 6374 190 kv motors x2
Also need to decide -
which VESC to use
gearing
Any help would be great! thanks a lot guys.
Decide on the deck and enclosure first.
Do you want high reliability? Low weight? Long lasting? Higher resale? Longer range? Smaller size? Better looking? Ability to use in arctic cold? Safer? Higher top speed?
Pick only 2 or 3 of those that are MOST important to you.
Whatās your budget?
Also like @tipsy mentioned, youāre likely going to run into big problems this way.
Try this
Thanks for asking questions! Iām not sure of the dimensions of the deck yet, but Iāve asked a couple of questions. Iām in early stages of planning for the board.
I may use a full carbon fibre deck with what Iāve been told is tonnes of space. The store told me it can fit ā720 WH of batteryā within the enclosure.
I like going for long rides, so range is important to me. High reliability of course. Highest speed Iām probably looking for is around 55-60km/hr for a bit of a rush. Iām not sure what better looking has to do with a battery, itās hidden all the time, isnāt it?
edit: as for budget, itās going to cost me an arm and a leg anyways since iām in canada. go big or go home (within reason)
First measure the battery tray and let us know. Iād say to use metric but youāre in Canada so you probably will already.
I figured a bunch of you guys would want one. Iāll see what I can do, for now Iāll delete that - Iād like to have some things put together for my board before everyone beats me to it.
Iāll get some measurements!
Hope this helps man!
Oh for sure @Venom121212 I understand that the numbers are series and parallels. But what benefit is there to change up the numbers of each?
What are your motor min and battery min settings
What Vesc are you using? They are settings you configure.
If using an ESC, you canāt configure them. This was the reason I transitioned to Vesc, tunable brakes
To answer your question, S count in a pack increases voltage, P count increases current. I must ask first, how much do you know about electricity, batteries and motors in general?
