The matrix ii are gonna bend… i am heavy about 260lb and went with the trampa solid hanger.
Also the 4.6 is too low for 8 inch tires. Go with boardnamics or apex 5 and up to 1. Motors seem good but kv is too high.
All of the above is my experience as a heavy guy but someone might have a different opinion.
Edit: none of this is vesc setting related but if you had different motors and more torque it could be.
I originally looked at trampa trucks but the shipping to Australia was criminal and i couldnt justify it. The rest of my component’s were what i could get as the market is pretty small for diy boards in Australia.
I just recently programmed a VESC for the first time and I was given the excellent advice of “run the setup wizard. Go for a ride. Adjust accordingly. And also adjust your absolute max battery current” bc it’s always ludicrously high for some reason. The wizard started my motor current at 62/-62. Went fot a ride and bumped it up to 70/-70 and then up to 80/-80 pretty quickly.
Also, remember when setting battery current that you’re splitting what you want your total current to be as the tool is asking your for the current for each side of the controller.
Famous last words bro. It’s gonna take longer than u think… adjust your expectations so you don’t get frustrated and bin the whole damn thing lol.
Ya nah I still stand by my statement lol especially if this is your first pack. In any case, post each stage of ur progress in the battery builders thread. Really important for your first go around. Good luck bro! Rootin fer ya
You’re correct, the “vesc tuning” is being able to set the acceleration and brake settings on the remote. I was disappointed tbh but 60A feels nice in comparison to the Ownboard Zeus pro 50A.
As long as your hangers are wider than your deck, your truck is kinda planted on the ground, and hanger length shouldn’t matter. Even if you had a 1km long hanger, it doesn’t mean your bushing would be super easy to squish. Deck width is what you should use as the length of the lever arm.
But when the trucks are narrower than your deck – then your wheels can start lifting off the ground if you lean too far, and both the width of the trucks and the width of the deck come in to play imo.
(Also, when swapping from hypertyrucks to matrix 2s – check if the bushing distance from the center hasn’t changed. That would definitely changed the ratio of the lever arm)
So I am going camping and I wanna bring my board to hit some country roads,
my question is if it’s okay to keep the board in the car throughout the day.
Temperature 84-60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Should be ok for the most part if you keep it shaded, ideally keep everything under 60C as that’s what most batteries are rated to. If you’re in sun dashboards can easily exceed that in temperature, but the air itself should hover closer to 120F.
