Anyone used Earthwing wheels? I got a set of their Superballs Slide-B that are supposed to be stone ground slide wheels but they arrived with a noticeable glossy skin on them and they do not slide at allll
this is a bit of an odd question, but can 2 different (dual) motor controllers be used together in a 4wd build? like could i use a makerx dv6 at one end and a stormcore 60D+ at the other?
Yes, as long as all of them are running the same VERSION of firmware, even if a different hardware.
So a FOCBOX 1.6 and a Unity and a VESC 6 Mk5 could all work together if, for example, all 3 of them had version 5.2 firmware, but each with their different hardware build.
But do keep in mind it sends the requested current over the CANBUS, not the requested throttle percentage. It may be a good idea to use the ESC with the highest set motor maximum (& minimum) current as the master ESC on the CANBUS.
Just got my awesome tyres. So i had to test them on my hubs.
They fit. But now i can’t get the hub halves out/separated from the tyre. Its REALLY stuck in there.
Is there some trick?
Edit: I managed to get some soap between the hubs and tire, and got them separated.
I have a baseplate from which I need to remove the kingpin. A few moderate taps from a hammer wasn’t enough to get it moving. Would it help to put it into the freezer for a few hours?
Aluminum (22 *10-6 m/(m °C)) has roughly twice the thermal expansion coefficient to steel (11 *10-6 m/(m °C)). Meaning aluminum will get longer/larger than steel when both are heated, and shorter/smaller than steel when cooled. You’d likely tighten it up more by putting it in the freezer.
Instead, heat the baseplate up with a torch or heatgun. Maybe even just put the whole (cleaned) assembly in the oven at 150C for 30 minutes (without bushings) and try it again.
