Got a set of MBS rockstar pro 2 I’m setting up for my next project and they don’t run true? I checked the bearings and spacers to make sure they have seated fully and they seem to be good. It’s not just one it’s all of them so maybe I’m doing something wrong. None of my other hubs are out
User error or something I need to take up with mbs? I can see the chamfer around the bearing seat isn’t symmetrical so maybe it’s a bad batch? This is the first set of aluminum hubs I’ve gotten but my evolve hubs run true and these vibrate just from hand spinning. It’s hard to see but it is out enough that I can feel it
Hard to see with my crappy camera work with black on black. Edited to add this one
Did you try it on any other wheel axles? I have a set of Pro 2’s and a set of Pro 2 XL’s and both are very straight. Definitely wouldn’t rule out a bad batch - in that case I’m sure @MBS would take care of you
Pros/cons between a 14S4P vs 18S3P (p45b) battery? Still trying to wrap my head around how all the electrical components work with eachother and honestly how batteries even function. Playing around with The Ultimate esk8 calculator it looks like for both these configurations have the same range (watt hours) but the top speed is drastically higher for the 18S due to the higher voltage and thus power.
What are the drawbacks of going 18S3P if my ESC (MakerX D100s) can handle it? I feel like having that extra power in your back pocket is a no brainer.
Total wattage (power) will be similar between setups. If you gear them for the same speed, you’ll be less likely to overheat motors on the 18s setup. Go 18s and don’t think twice.
Gear both for whatever top speed you want. 140kv is a better choice on 18s. 170kv is fine too. I’m currently running 18s with 173kv on my Croix with 5.5 gears for 40mph top speed.
so, please don’t laugh at me to hard- but I fucking broke one of my motors. While setting up the motors with vesc-tool I wasn’t sure how many poles they had because Meepo doesn’t report it on the store page for them (Motor for Voyager I had just ripped the whole drivetrain from my fucked up voyager) I used some neodymium magnets I had laying around to try finding the poles but I seem to have fucked it up despite them being really tiny neodymium magnets so RIP I guess. That motor now kinda shudders and doesn’t really respond correctly.
I guess I could reasonably just get the flipsky 6355 motors and call it a day but at that point like- y’know my birthday’s in a week and I’m not expecting anything that’s gonna make me feel too great from my kinda-sorta estranged family so I may as well do something nice for myself and just do a full gear drive like I was planning, what are the best options for that? I was curious about the Exway gear drivetrain but I wouldn’t be able to ever put street wheels on it and it doesn’t seem to have a sensor cable (?) so that’s no good, I kinda like the look of the Omni geardrive because it’s helical which people say is nice and quiet (would probably be nice as I tend to be in residential areas late at night fairly often) but it’s got a POM gear in it which a lot of people don’t seem to trust too well, however good POM is.
Hello, can anybody help me? I just inherited a 2019 lacroix Lonestar . It had no remote, so I ordered a Hoyt puck and receiver. I installed the receiver into my.unity focbox. Does anybody know how I configure the new remote into my focbox. Also, how do I figure out what firmware it is using
I’m pretty certain. The one I didn’t fuck around with is working just fine, if I switch the sides of the vesc they’re plugged into and recalibrate the motors it suffers the same issue so I definitely fudged it. Was literally working fine before, lmao. gahhhhhhHHHH
