I wanna see dual kv motors next 
LoL it blows my mind how differentials always seem to keep being brought back up. Thatās a fix for internal combustion problems 
Iād rather spend the weight and complexity on another small motorā¦

Bro it would be so awesome through.
Giant motors are so much cooler than small ones.

But *some electric cars have differentials tooā¦

switchable termination would be sweet

Mostly in jest. What I really wish is that we could have hubs that arenāt shit.
uh uh, itās a fix for a one source of power, multiple applications of torque problem.
Agreed. I spent too much time one night thinking about how to make this workā¦

All you need is a way to change between Delta and wye with some relays or something

There is someone who did this with a 28kW āebikeā. I donāt have a link handy thoughā¦ I saw it years ago. If I recall he had a large rotary switch or something

Right, and between that concept and some implementation is where I spent most of that time.

This thing would be nice to have on a board that can be switched from thane to pneumies and vica versa. No need to change gearing, just change your kv with motafuckin big rotary switch, haha

my thought was an esc that accepts unterminated windings and does it onboard
like a double fet array, one wye and one delta

The point of a wye-delta starter is to reduce inrush current when hooking up an induction motor to line voltage.
With a Variable Frequency Drive, this is not needed because it regulates the load current. An ESC effectively acts as a low voltage VFD.
At those power levels youād most likely be using a salient-pole PMSM, in which case field boosting and field weakening achieve the same effect if you need more torque per ampere or higher operating speed.
All solid state wye-delta starters use anti-parallel SCRs.

No what we need is a esk8 with Mecanum wheels.

Those would be good on a super smooth warehouse floor
Around here the roads would eat those alive.

The distance between the two gear drives on a 220mm hanger is 87mm. Is that enough or a 6384? Or is 84 not the actual length?

TB6380 for example measure 82mm last time I checked. Flipsky 84mm on 87mm clearance might be cutting it close. 74ās are powerful enough for urethane anyways.
