question to all you speed devilsâŚ
how effective is kranking up the battery max and motor amps given ive been running quite conservative settings?
im running dual 6374 on 65A each and my battery on 75A max ( rated 75A cont, 100A peak)
where would you start tweaking for more power?
on my daily commutes motors get barely hand warm
Increasing battery max increases your power at high RPM and heavy load - like accelerating up a hill.
Increasing motor max improves power at low RPM - like accelerating from a stop.
As long as all your hardware can handle it, and you can comfortably control it, more of both is better. You didnât mention what hardware your vesc is - it may very well be your limiting factor, not the battery or motor.
Bump those motors to 75 and battery to 100. Thatâs a good start
controller is a unity mounted with thermal paste to the aluminium bottom of my enclosure (though not really sure how effective that is)
Not considering his battery specs, there is no point of having more battery amps to motor amps.
It wonât do anything for the motor output.
If anything you would want them to be the same or more motor amps.
Itâs a unity, battery amps is total system value and motor is per. so 75A per motor, 100A combined battery, aka 50 battery amps per side.
really should have stated that in the first place, sorry 
Sometimes you can remove the can (rotor) from the other end. Which model motor is it?
since no one else chimed in i would assume you still consider these values somewhat safe for the components?
given that i dont run low quality hardware i mean
Start by turning up âmotor maxâ
What motors are they?
The unity can definitely handle it. Iâm assuming when you say peak 100A battery, that it can actually handle that much for short periods, so fine to bump to 100A max. And most decent 6374s will do 75A no problem. Some can even bump 80A.
theyre the red (unsealed) maytech 6374, 170kV variant
ok, i guess what my question intended was to make you spout absolute max values for a setup like this
thats not what im aiming for tho, so ill start with your suggestion
Idk about the 170kv but I have my maytech 6374 220kv set to 80A (also unity) and it does not desync at full throttle. Also 200kv 6365s at 75A also no problem. As for the battery, depends what cells u got and how its built.
ive read lower kV saturates the stator quicker, so ill be cautious
battery is this one , not gonna take risks on damaging this beauty either
Yeah, start with 70A then 75A on the motors, I doubt it will reach saturation. For the battery, 30Qs will happily do 20A per cell, 100A battery is totally safe.
awesome, thanks a bunch for giving me peace of mind 
Then it makes perfect sense.
Damn unity things.
Setting up for racing or live in a really hilly area?
I donât understand these amp values really they all sound crazy high to me, not that youâll damage things necessarily but seems way overkill.
More amps is more heat if you are bleeding off the heat as quick or quicker than you are pumping it in with high current then things wonât melt, but I just donât get it (guess using mine as a commuter board not thrill ride isnât the norm).
First of all your top speed is 30kph. Us amp guys like to run at least 50kph or more.
Next I think we are perhaps heavier than you are. I weigh 90kg and then you have to add gear and clothes to that and if you have a backpack too letâs say itâs 100kg that we are displacing.
This takes a lot more amps than someone lighter whoâs only going 30kph.
Also above 30kph wind resistance increases exponentially which yet again will take more amps for us to move against it.
