It will be a lot easier once the other end is mounted and you have a cable to grab hold of

exactly. Something like this makes it a ton easier.
I keep mine simple but wouldn’t mind doing it like those from above.
I could print you a cover if you want. Doesn’t take much effort. You just need to promise to use the xt90 instead xt60 ^^

@b264 does his loops with braid and then coats them nice and thick with conformal. Maybe he’ll share a photo with us.

May I ask you what your plan is :)?
Use your battery as a power bank too?

if you need pliers to remove the plug you heated it up for too long when soldering

I didn’t solder 
Bought it like this
Hey gents, I’m hoping somebody can take a look at these VESC settings and help me figure out what is up with the VESC wizard.
I ran the VESC motor wizard and it gave me these settings. But this doesn’t seem right
Build: 10s5p Panasonic 18650BD charge only, Flipsky 4.20 100a, BKB 6374.
Batt max is 50a per esk8 calc, but the wizard doesn’t seem to have understood that. On top of this, doing a search for my specific VESC I found that @mmaner used these settings for the exact same VESC :
Motor Current Max : 30A
Motor Current Max Brake : -30a
Battery Current Max : 50A
Battery Current Max Regen : -40A
Absolute Maximum Current : 120A
This is a lot different from what the wizard set me up with, is the wizard reliable or is it setting me up to blow my VESC?

We tease @Halbj613 a lot, but he offers any help he can provide to anyone who needs it. That’s pretty cool.

Those value are for the FlipSky 4.20 dual. I would try the following values.
Motor Current Max : 40A
Motor Current Max Brake : -40a
Battery Current Max : 50A
Battery Current Max Regen : -40A
Absolute Maximum Current : 100A
Increase the motor and battery max until you get cutout. Or leave them alone if its fast enough for you.
In my experience the wizard gives unusable values on Maytech and FlipSky VESC’s.

Whoops, I goofed. Its the dual 4.20 100a with two 6374s. I forgot single is a viable and popular thing lol. Will do on the gradual increase of motor and batt max.

You want to turn the motor slower than that, and for longer.

Yes, or it was soldered without a male and female being connected together. That holds the pins straight while it cools.

I’ve found no use to set this to anything other than the maximum it will allow you to set it at, typically 150A
As far as I understand, the only thing that setting does is {throw faults and hence} cut your brakes at the most inopportune time. The DRV hardware already has overcurrent protection.

Why does the upper half of my throttle do pretty much nothing? VX1 split PWM
I’m not sure if I am already going full speed, or something else is up.
It is weird to stop accelerating at just past half throttle.
We just wanted a photo for now, BRIAN.
