Does anyone know if itâs safe to unplug all the phase wires from one side of a vesc for efficiency or a broken belt?
I thought I could set current on that side to 0A or 1A but the vesc wouldnât allow it. I donât think allowing high rpm and overriding duty cycle limits would have been good for 63100s @ 11k rpm.
When I was miles from home with a broken belt I came up with
How much does rider weight affect battery usage? Iâm building a board intended for someone to ride with me. I weigh 185 lbs, while they weigh more like 140 lbs. Iâll probably use the throttle a bit more than them, too. My board is 18s4p, but Iâm planning on going 12s for theirs. Iâm having a hard time deciding between 4p and 5p. I know theyâll use less, but Iâm not sure if 4p will end up being so much less that they get way less range than me.
Iâd be afraid to unless I had a way to cover them. Iâve not done it, but I think youâll be fine if they donât touch anything. If they short Iâm pretty sure that will almost 100% instantly blow the ESC. Someone on here can probably tell you an easy setting to just disable one side, but Iâm not sure off hand.
Just take the belt off. The motor spinning wonât hurt anything and it uses very little power without a load on it. The sound will be disorientating and annoying but it works just fine. Youâre likely to get some torquesteer with just one motor on wide hangers.
This is fine if youâre not in high voltage, free spinning at high voltage is scawy.
Scary sounds but you just have to ignore the noises.
I tried that but when one motor spun very fast the other stopped trying. My first guess was I accidentally turned on traction control but it was off, so it must be duty cycle current limits affecting both from just one hitting high rpm. 170kv 16s is a bit high, probably fine for reachers but these get hot and shaky at full 11k rpm.
Should I have re-ran motor detection and set it to something other than esk8 that does cap duty cycle?
I have the receiving side of the bullet connector on the vesc so they wonât short to anything but I would be worried about the vesc trying to put current with nothing there.
For me it works fine, do you have the no limits firmware?
When i donât want one side to work, i also set to zero the watts limit

Are you sure you didnât just let off the throttle because it sounded top speed? You have to push it more, the other one will go. Ignore the motor at full speed, itâs using hardly any power and just making annoying sounds. Itâs disorientating.

Thatâs another way to do it. I have the spintend no limits firmware but I think that relates to maximum limits not minimum. I checked minimum motor current and it was 0.25A.
Yes I am sure. I couldnât even get it to go without me on it. Itâs not something that we need to figure out though, I think the power limit will probably work.

Yeah freespinning did not work for me either. My method was canbus.
With ubox you can either use the remote if you have the spinted or uni, or power button method (click it 7 times). Orange light confirms internal canbus is disconnected. Then redo motor detection for the motor you want. There might be another way in vesc tool also i think turning pairing off works for other vesc types.
Unfortunately I donât think my Ubox has that feature, it has a physical switch for canbus instead.

Iâm brand new here, but Iâve owned a Lycaon Swift for a few years. I recently had to replace the battery, but now thereâs a loud knocking sound coming from my hub, which I assume is a loose magnet. Iâd like to buy a new hub, but I canât seem to find one for sale that matches my specs since they went out of business. I have also tried getting access to the magnets, as to maybe reglue them or something, but the hub isnât fitted with screws or anything, and I canât seem to get it open. Would anyone have an idea what to do here?
If it got put together, it can be taken apart! You probably canât post pics yet because youâre new. Can you post them on imgur and send the link?

My general question is how on earth do people manage 1wd boards?
This rolling burnout wasnât on the hill, this was trying to build up speed before the hill with my weight as far back as I could have it.
1WD doesnât work in the wet unless you are @b264

Doesnât work in the dry either it seems, I know undriven wheels were wet but that was just after a puddle and the road and driven wheel were dry, at least after 2 seconds into the sliding around.
I think higher psi in the front would make a noticeable difference. I had to get off and push it up a hill
