Hey Lee, seeing as you’re actually working on the exact same board. How much weight do you think you can put on that bottom enclosure with the 12 cap screws before its too much?
Its roughly a 3kg load on it stock standard.
But do you reckon you could load it with 8kg and the screws would still hold easily or would you add another 10 screws and epoxied inserts for safe measure?
I dunno mate… it’s just threaded inserts into a foam core… 8KG seems a lot?
All good. I see your 12s5p and raise you another 5p stacked flat on top with a kapton tape bound thin bit of acrylic in between each 5p layer which comes in at a little over 5.5kg using p26a’s. I’m sure it’s possible with the spacer I’m cutting up. Won’t a 4wd AT setup eat those 60 cells for breakfast?
Hey mate, would you know what the amp hours of these cells are? I haven’t the foggiest and I want to program the vesc so I don’t run them too low,.
The stock evolve pack? I would run it at the minimum possible.
15A battery per motor for a dual or 25A for a single
Is what I personally would try.
Yeah those square peismatic block cells, there are 5 of them. I remember asking for and paying another 200USD for the extended battery and all that info on the battery including certs is lost on an old work email.
And okay thanks man, it had a 30A fuse for the main power wires to the old controller
So would you know the batter aH? Or does the vesc know when the battery is getting low automatically.
I thought you need to tell the vescx tool what the aH of the battery is so that it knows when to cut the power.
There are ten of them, but in stacks of two
In this case, I wouldn’t pull more than about 24A total
Okay cheers
The ESC Tool does not care about Ah, only about A and V
Find the cutoff voltages here, in this case use “10S lipo” numbers
Okay, is pulling battery amps different to the engine amps? Cos on the vescx tool, its defaulted to 80 amps each engine and it feels about right, with max at 160
Oh right wow cheers, ill go through that, awesome
Motor amps is determined only by your motors. You can probably use 90A and -60A motor amps for those motors. (per motor)
but for battery amps, more like 24A total (12A, -12A for each ESC)
This is the part I don’t understand it, but i’ll take your word for it and program accordingly, thank you again.
Hey bro what trucks and motor mounts are you running?
I’ve got a similar build, but running 6.5" trampa tyres and use evolve trucks (gtr). However, I just ordered some Flipshit 15.2" dkp trucks so that I can run 8" tyres without wheel bite.
I wouldn’t have bought anything from Flipshit, but they are the only ones marketing these wide trucks… 
What motor mounts did you use on your gtr trucks ?
I used UniK mounts, but they are not available anymore. Probably best to use flipsky’s…
