eLofty Direct Drive Discussions-read before buying

[Movation]

Did you have to mod your boas I am hoping dex ships my tb40 order soon really want to try the tb110 on kracken.

[Goldrabe]

Sounds like it’s not only a bearing, your magnets might have started rusting. Get them apart as quick as you can to dry them out.

[BillGordon]

Oh, no disagreement there. I’ve gotten lucky so far.

[BillGordon]

Nope, direct swap out.

Actually on second though, I might try to limit motor amps first. Asides from potentially keep them cool, what else would lowering motor current do? I’m thinking of going from +/-60A to maybe ±/40A?

[RyEnd]

Trying here first… does anyone have an extra pair of kegel adapters they’d like to sell or maybe trade for abec adapters?

I’m running them on 40/-60a (each) and they’re running great. I don’t brake hard often, but its there when I need it

yeah I might! I’ll check when I get home @RyEnd

Am I correct to think that motor max and min more or less directly correlates to torque and low speed braking? I’m fairly certain of the first one but I can’t remember if motor min was high speed or low speed brake since I know at some point the brake goes from motor min to battery min

[US/CA][WTS] Original 58kv lofty direct drives

[20200312_162418] $275 buyer pays shipping. From Bay Area California USA. Never used, bought them months ago and never had a good use for em. These are the original version of the lofty direct drive, seems like the most reliable based on other people’s reviews.

selling a set of the original 58kv motors if anyone is interested

[RyEnd]

Did the screws holding the cans on come on anything other than the $160 boundmotor drives?

Yes, motors use the most torque on startup. When you’re already cruising at 30km/h, it takes like 5a to maintain that speed. (an example)
Uphill also uses more current.

I think it was low speed brake?

[BillGordon]

Yes, the OG 58kv eLofty.

[murdomeek]

@annihil8ted what wheels are you running?

[love2scoot]

3 days too late; ordered from eSk8supply earlier this week. Good luck!

[annihil8ted]

Im running 6x2

[Movation]

Doing a full tear down and service on them on tje weekend will soak the bearimg in turbo oil. Board is getting a rebuild soon might swap these elofty clones for the up coming neo direct drives. Dkp isnt great at 40km/hr +. I have my evolve if i want to carve.

@annihil8ted

Im running 6x2

LMAO, i wonder whyy… XD

[annihil8ted]

The overheating thing? Or the fact I live in Texas?

I think 58KV running 6in should be perfectly fine.

[murdomeek]

@annihil8ted

The overheating thing?

Yeah doing your uphill full throttles on 6x2 will definitely overheat. Im using cloud wheels and it overheats on long/fast hills
