this is probably retarded, but to fix the doa one with the stem leak maybe you could use a soldering iron to get the rubber to melt and cover that hole

Won’t work.
Tires and tubes are made of vulcanized (crosslinked) rubber, and once it’s been vulcanized you can’t melt it anymore. It will burn first.

bummer, that’s a new word for me though. There’s gotta be some better 160mm tubes on the market

might try this stuff, you push it into the tube and then the air pushes the sealant into the hole.
I always just ask them for the cheapest shipping option, not caring about delivery time and let them work out the details. You definitely should tell them there is a battery. Some people are rumored to not tell the PO there is a battery inside to get a better shipping rate but I can’t condone that personally. My battery, after telling them it was a battery, was in that $30-55 range to ship.

Yeah should be fine. Double up on the heatshrink if you need to alleviate stress in that area.

i have some motors
they sensors dectect in foc wizard but when i ride it is not smooth on startup i guess it is sensors but not sure

is startup smooth when setting the vesc firmware to run unsensored?
have you hand tested the hall sensors with a dmm?
3 Likes
what is a dmm
and how would startup be smooth unsensored
when i give it a little push it is fine
What is that silver motor?
Have you tried using HFI sensor mode?

tried hfi but is quite loud therefore would prefer sensors then it
i got it to work but wasnt a fan

Does anyone know how much more efficient FOC is compared to BLDC? Does it feel smoother too?
BLDC is more efficient and has a higher top speed and more power

Bldc is more efficient? Ouh…
So what’s a reason to use FOC other than silence?
I thought FOC is more efficient because of the more efficient motor magnet poling bla that allows for a smoother/better rotation.
Quote from other forum:
Within FOC Sinusoidal commutation when each ABC phases are electrically being given what exactly they need on what ever rotor position / stator position they have, it does make sense that they run more efficient.

FOC has HFI sensor mode. That’s the only reason I use it. Silence to me is not a feature.
