Can I get more torque

bet yhey haven’t gone above 30 but still claim 60 top speed

My vesc tool won’t let me access mapping

Use the pc

I’ll have to, need to dig it out from the garage :man_facepalming:t2:

FreeSk8 app has throttle mapping. Should work depending on your bt modules FW

Id think with a 5:1 gearing, 140kv, and 100amps, even with 6” wheels you should have lots of torque.

I’ll do 1:1 gearing and 3.3” wheels and 100 amps and 70kv and good. (Sure there’s some easy math and we could figure exactly the torque for both of us.)

How much u weigh? Or if ur logging we could see what current is really passing.

Thanks mate, that did the trick, my board did accelerate for a split second on its own whilst writing this message :joy: dialled everything back up a bit now, deadband 10% positive ramp time 0.4 and throttle expo to 10%

I’m using 9”, 6” would be extreme torque and I’m around 75-80kg depending on the week I’ve had :rofl:

What is the battery max set to?

Maybe raise motor amps from 90A to 115A, lower battery amps 20%

Is that 550A battery output capability or 550A max battery amps setting on VESC? Because I don’t think I’ve seen an esk8 battery that do anywhere close to that and even 50A from the battery on dual motor is a LOT of power.

Battery capability, 1100 amps burst

I’ve got it sorted through the app config, definitely more torque now and battery amps are standard during setup, I haven’t messed about with that apart from cut off start and end and regen

1100A is the fuse current for wire that’s 100mm² in diameter, that’s significantly bigger than 4 AWG wire, so I think you might need to check your maths on that one.

Are you basing it off C discharge ratings on a Lipo or are you using an honest to god car battery and truck jumper leads?

quick bote: the board will pull amps from the battery no higher than the motors are wanting to pull

even then it pulls jus about a 3rd of the Amps from the battery compared to the motors cause electricity
i think cause battery is DC and motors are essentially 3phase AC? something like that

unless you short it, then it pulls every last bit and then some

Basing on the c rating, 22ah @25c :man_shrugging:t2:

And is it definitely 14S? I haven’t seen single packs of that voltage before and 2x7 is also a weird config

wait but that’s just 550 Amps
it’s this a 2p pack?

Yeah i think 50c burst or 40c, can’t remember
