I seen a few people on the forum do this and always heard 10s5p would fit. @hyperion1 I think has done this perhaps. I remember somebody drilled new holes for the heatsink and moved the evolve esc back a bit.
Yes, everyone calls the CarbonGT “Gen 2” when it’s actually Gen3
The photos above are the Gen2 deck, which people call Gen1 LoLz
The Gen 2 easily holds 60 cells and 70 fit in there if you try.
The Gen3 CarbonGT, not so much
Now things are starting to piece together. So the ones everyone is riding these days and sending in to get modded are actually the gen3.
@longhairedboy is it now possible to do a Gen3 (Carbon GT) deck with 50 cells using two of the new MakerX Mini FOC? Should be plenty of room for a BMS in there with these tiny ESCs.
Of course you’d have to shitcan the Evolve ESC but that’s not a huge loss. Might cost more…
In have a 10S5P in my carbon GT with a unity. I used a heatsink spacer to provide some breathing room, but it’s definitely doable.
Pictures pls?
The heatsink spacer - is that 3D Printed or can you buy it from someone?
probably, you’d still need to drop the ESCs with a riser on the heatsink, but with the tiny bmses it could be possible.
edit: clearly it is lol
It’s 3D printed, but at the time of purchase I didn’t have my printer. The dude cells them pretty cheap on eBay.
I’ve done it before, you need to drill holes on the heatsink to move the esc forward more on the stock
Yea I’ve seen that done. It’s a really tight fit! More so than I was comfortable with so the spacer worked well. Then I went full DIY so wasn’t sure about how much room I would need for the new esc
Yeah it was much more of a tight fit than a fill DIY, done a couple CGT builds with a 12s4p and unity, the spacer helped out tremendously
Quick question. I’m 10S5P atm, thought about going 12S4P… my batts are VTC6 (15a cont, 30a Max per cell). Think I’d see a gain enough to overlook the loss in range?
Fuck yes. The difference between 10s and 12s is ridiculous. You go from having a nice easy board to one that tries to kill you and once you do it you will never want a 10s build again.
Its all about the watts about the watts no treble
I’m day drinking.
so much truth. 12S is Exhilarating
