k00ky questionā¦ everyone seems to be racing for the most voltsā¦ 18sā¦20sā¦
am I crazy for thinking about an 8s build?
on a super small build I can fit 12s2p 24 P42A cells @60amps or 8s3p 24 cells at 90ampsā¦
I have an over Kvād direct-drive than I can get plenty of speed if I wanna wait for a few hours for the motors to wind up at 12s or throw more amps at them at 8sā¦
smart guys tell me Iām a k00kā¦

The input power on the VESC would be:
8 x 4.2 x 90 = 3024W
Or
12 x 4.2 x 60 = 3024W
So six of one half dozen of the other but should see less voltage drop in cells and other components at higher voltage (lower amperage)

butā¦ if I have moreā¦ampsā¦ 1/3 more amps to throw at the motorsā¦ doesnāt that push the 6-one half dozen equation to the higher amperage battery?
EDIT:
I guess the concept Iām trying to scheme outā¦ ESCs donāt throttle voltsā¦ they throttle and manage ampsā¦ (or Iām a k00k)
if I have more P-series I have more amps and the battery will have more amps to give, and sag lessā¦
would the High Kv motor respond more like a lower Kv direct-drive throwing more amps, and whatever voltage the ESC asks from the battery?
Well since youāll get more voltage drop under higher current load youāll lose more of the watts to heating the cells and heating the motor I think. At least in the quadchopper realm 6S (as opposed to āstandardā 4S for 5" prop quads) or higher voltage spinning bigger props at slower speed is more efficient but Iām not exactly sure how that translates hereā¦ Sort of just assume since cars go higher voltage and efficiency matters more there it must be good (sort of cargo cult thinking but itās why I think higher voltage is probably better too).
In low temp scenarios you might benefit from the higher current helping to heat your cells if they are cold but if storing board indoors then cold cells at startup is probably non issue (just thinking of Teslaās again they have poor cold weather performance and do a lot of thermal regulation around their massive pack)
You want high current on the motor side for high torque but generally want higher voltage to cut the amps for delivering some given watts so less loss along the way, solar DC systems generally have voltage jacked up for transmission and high tension lines use high voltage to move power with less loss around the grid (from what I gather Iām CS but have some electrician friends)
I agree with all the points youāve presentedā¦ and you offer a persuasive argumentā¦ but my premise is that I have a too high Kv direct-drive motor, that I wish to design a light-weight battery forā¦
not alter the Kv of the motor to achieve peak efficiency at higher voltagesā¦

Oh yah I mean have at it so long as youāre not going over the erpm for the VESCs or other ESCs it should be okay was just saying why I think 10S or 12S are common gotos. I ran a board on 6S for a short while but that was pretty underwhelming (was relatively low kv motor combo too though).

Is there anyway I can use the flipsky Bluetooth module and the flipsky vx2 pro with the FSESC 4.12 at the same time? They both seem to plug into the same com port.
The reason why currently 8s is the overall package fit & benefits. With the 8s 800kv 200a on high discharge lipo it means the most possible watts in the smallest package, 5694 motor. With more watts than can be used gearing becomes the bottleneck. With proper gearing heat is now not an issue using 60% of a systems capabilities. With Low kv motors you are giving up watts per motor size. With high kv motors = more watts per motor size but at the limitations of final drive gearing. Itās all about finding a system that will balance and not within heat limits. Voltage does not matter. System balance is most Important. Find a motor rated the watts you need at the kv window that will hit your target final drive. 60% capable watts = load
Most everyone here hits their battery, esc or motor ceilings. MayPop setups.

Not with a single esc. You only have 1 uart port. If you have two esc you gain a second uart (and brakes that dont suck). VX1 is a better option in your case.

Might be a dumb question but I have 2 Boosted motors hanging around and I was wondering if they can be used on a focbox Unity, is the connector proprietary or can it be adapted to work ?
ive seen some talk about double kingpins, what are the advantages to a double kingpin vs single one ?

Not the best answer to your question, but it kinda looks more dope on certain dropthrough bamboo decks and the carving feels nice, but both look and feel are subjective , not everyoneās cup of tea
