As the title says, curious to know if anybody actually did an inrunner build with a vesc that works?
Got plenty of advice to “forget RC esc!” and “buy a vesc 6” but so far all I’ve seen are horror stories of erpm problems and overheating issues in regards to outrunners so I am very curious if anybody actually have some real life experience with this?
Posted this question on the old forum, cant hurt to ask here too
Tried to run a 2400 Kv 4 pole one I never managed to, on FSESC 4.20 Mini it would spin, but run really weird, with the motor currents being reported negative and no control over it, it suddenly starts to increase the speed
On other hardware couldn’t manage to pass detection
Could be, seems this did alright though and its 2500kv on 4s
My current motor is outrunner 380kv and its rated at 1820w, takes me up most hills (but im a light guy around 65kg i think ) and the inrunner im getting is 2800w, i admit im not great at math but to me it would seem doable… and thanks
the power you see at low speed on 380kv will not be the same for the 1700kv.
given two identical motors with same copper mass and different kv. they will have the exact same performance just at different RPMs.
in theory you could run a very high KV motor but then you need a transmission with a very high reduction ratio as well. Vesc also have a somewhat limited ERPM 60k to 100k depending on the hardware. So for 1700KV I would say no you cant run that effectively with a Vesc.
On the 4s build moe used 9/72 on 70mm, Im thinking 9/68 on 1700kv @ 6s would be equivalent but please correct me if im wrong this is my second build and I need all the help i could get
