Ah yeah, a one shot pull is definitely much easier goalā¦ Although I thought it would be fun to build an esk8 similar to those electric car skateboard platforms but stand on itā¦ As to whether it is ridable or not is entirely different story
so a baja board?

Much bigger and less crappy parts? lol. Maybe something along the size of a very long go-kart?
haha, yeah. I imagine if you wanted to take a bajaboard to 100mph youād end up replacing 95% of it.
The longer you make it the more I just want it to have 2 wheels like a motorcycle/speedboard. Wonder how they would fair at high speeds vs a standard longboard + trucks?
Well a motorcycle definitely has no problem with speed, but the steering is also a little different. The speedboard guy claims itās really stable at speed but who knowsā¦
My imaginary board would have fly-by-wire control where the steering is done by servo and turn rates are adjusted based on speed. Then the rider can wear a suit containing multiple IMU sensors which the board computer then uses to keep the board under the rider in all cases, for ex if it detects the rider is falling left after hitting a bump, the board will make a quick left jerk to recenter the riderā¦ Something likeā¦ assisted high speed balanceā¦ Thatāll let the rider hold high speeds consistently over varying terrainā¦ Thisāll fix those times where a crash happens faster than the rider can respond, the ones where youāre on the ground before you can figure out what even happenedā¦ the computer would process all this and respond 100x faster. Especially at speeds exceeding 100mphā¦
I think the problem becomes retaining traction vs balance. Balance usually becomes easier at speed. Youād need some intelligent suspension to make up for the imperfect susp that is our legs.
Yeah basically that. Much better traction control, magnetic or electronic valve suspension, steering and torque vectoringā¦ A lot of things needs to happenā¦ Thatās where it gets real expensiveā¦

Iāll keep it under 50 on public streets, tyvm. Higher speeds are for closed courses.

Well, in some ways itās closer to a stand up motorcycle than a fast esk8ā¦ With a platform that size and enough āfeaturesā, itād be more similar to riding around a street bikeā¦
iām sensorless alreadyā¦i did have thermal throttling onā¦i turned it off.

Has anyone an alternative for MBoards enclosure? I really like the design and the measurements are great too, also it comes with mounting screws. Sadly shipping is 20 bucks to EU/GER.
Measurements needed inside the enclosure are: 35cm-50cm x 15cm-17cm x 2cm-4cm
First value is min second value is max
Anything that comes to your mind?
Needs to beat the 50 dollars for the MBoards one

YEah so right now they are still alive and fine
Then doing PPM setting in the vesc tool, that causes the signal to always jump around? (Help)
is it possible that drv is fried WITHOUT having any visible marks on it? getting DVR fault in realtime data
started motor detection and then Focbox started blinking red led (3x, pause, 3x, pause), still can be connected to VESC Tool without any problems
12s FOC config by the way, motor checked, no shorts
I tried different FW and motor already
Yes. Most DRV faults show no physical evidence.
