Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

ah ok, thanks.
so pros for dual = sparkplug / pros for 2 x single =less chance of total failure - you’re unlikely to blow 2 esc’s at once.

That’s the running theory. You’d think makers of dual escs would make them able to still function in case of one side failing but none yet. There is a wave of new escs coming though so who knows what’s on the horizon.

If I have a dual motor setup with a 60a output battery. I would want to set the motors to pull 30a each. Right?

depends on your esc

If I were to set each motor to 60a wouldn’t that pull 120a through the battery? It’s a fsesc

Does anyone have that much movement ? (matrix 2 with oil slick baseplate)

my hanger has no play (zero freedom of movement on the front/back axis) but my hangers are black and my base plate is plastic

How do you calculate Max current from battery? I have 12s5p with 30q cells

30q cells have a continuous discharge of 15amps and burst of 20amps

So 15amps * the 5 parallel groups = 75 continuous amps

And 20 * 5 = 100 burst amps

Yes, a few others have had this on the black as well. If you can tighten the kingpin to where it doesn’t do that, great. If it’s too far of a gap and you’re not comfortable doing that, hit up mbs about a replacement as long as they’re still fresh.

Well this is already the replacement. I got this one from @Mainflow because his was bent. I got the bent one (hanger is bent) but use just the baseplate

You could warm it in the oven for a bit so it wants to bend easier, crank the kingpin tight to close the gap, and then let it cool that way. Not sure on a recommended temperature to bake at though.

My oven is broken… :sweat_smile:

Also mbs doesn’t seem to answer my emails anymore.

Somehow everything i touch from mbs is fucking broken.

2 sets of tires - bad batch and crooked.
Mbs baseplate cracked
metal baseplate that doesn’t fit

like wtf.

Want that too!

Also the fivestars i ordered. The shop i ordered them had the listing up, 3 days after purchase they tell me

“Hey we don’t have them in stock until end of April”

MAYBE UPDATE YOUR LISTING ffs.

I think i hopefully fixed it…

I printed 2 washers that go between the bushings.

1x 1mm
1x 0.8mm

now the gap is filled. Now i need to test it while riding

https://photos.app.goo.gl/rxw8dyWQpB9mBSXM9 any idea what’s causing this noise. I have only had the motor for a week or two and it started as a whistle but is now really loud when I’m on the board.

Personally… Id get this guy or higher A(amperage) if you wiring harness can handle it

Or if you’re a dirty American with ineeditritenowitus ,

No. Motor amps can exceed battery amps, but not vice versa.
You set battery amps 30a per ESC and for the motor amps you set whatever you want up to the max amp rating of each motor, that controls your acceleration.
