Iāve told him this multiple times, doesnāt seem to be getting through to him. Raptor hubs are known for throttling under any conditions, I guess the only case it wonāt throttle is when not movingā¦

Ah that kind of throttling. I mainly assumed he means the throttle / acceleration
Nope, Heās running a pair of heaters and is surprised when they overheat.

Is anyone in the EU able to erode some tiny holes through hardened steel slices?
Bought some to strengthen my hub motors and it looks like it would turn out as wanted. The only problem is the hardness of this little suckers. I tried it with every drill and diamonds but no way, so i think it could be that eroding is the key.
Them tiny āmoldsā i have reached with a diamond but took about an hour so far and i am not through

The standard method of drilling hardened steel is with carbide. Carbide drills arenāt that expensive but if you donāt have them set up in a milling machine or a drill press, itās really easy to break them - especially small ones.
The other method is EDM, electrical discharge machining. Generally slower and more expensive, but you can drill anything conductive no matter the hardness, from mild steel to carbide.

thank you for explainingā¦who does stuff like that? Whom should i ask about that?
whats your suggestion?
Do a search for machine shops in your area and start calling them up for quotes. Another idea would be local colleges / vocational schools that have mechanical engineering / machining / metal shop programs.

ok Ill get all that stuff together after work
yeah the throttling is nuts tho after a short ride I can barely get up hills and it just craws at like 12 kmh on flats and ive got full battery
Thats the special feature of the hubs. If the settings are within spec then there isnāt much you can do anyway.

Maybe just put some telemetry on it. get a bluetooth module and something that shows temps. then youāll see right away that itās your hubs actually getting hot. if thatās what happening (and itās starting to sound likely) thereās gonna be little you can do but shed weight and donāt go up hills.
the settings that prevent it from getting too hot are what does the throttling.
when i had the nanox I was ripping up hills like crazy on the very same run, now i gotta stop 4 times (itts a bit of a joke tbh)
well if it was working before and all you did was change remotes (and scramble settings :D), thatās a good data point you should be able to get it back to where it was before.
soā¦

In vesc-tool you can save your configs and share it with us:
make 4 files. motor and app settings x 2 vescs.

What would the optimal unity settings be for a 12s4p 40t with dual 6374 190kv? I know the max battery discharge amps would be 100. But what about max breaking regeneration, motor max and motor break max? Are the defaults ok?
Yeah ill give it a try, thank you. 
Very good ideas 
Iām going to order some metric taps shortly. I need m5 and m3. if anyoneās got recommendedations itās appreciated.

Iām completely confused now:
Do I need a key for my motor if it has a keyway slot (that is empty at the moment) ? My motor pulley will have two grub screws. Since no shaft key came with the motor, I didnāt think about if I need one.
Motor:
6354 Flipsky
Motor mount:
Dickyho kit (15T 5M 8mm motor pulley)
