Glossary of Terms

I scored a brand new kanthaka on indy 180s and orangatang keanus a little while ago for 200 bucks. It lives in the passenger seat of my car :rofl:

Added a picture to help distinguish between boardside and roadside bushings :slight_smile:

More motor terms would be nice, like Keyway, Windings, Can/Bell, Grub screws, etc.

redundancy/redurndercy:

esk8/RC receivers output PWM.

huh, that’s where it all started huh…aewsome.

also, always thought vedder was a german, but he’s a swede.

two revelations today.

@rusins bushing image was good add.
Keyway is already listed
agree on Windings, Can/Bell, Grub Screws etc. added them to the list will update definitions as time allows.


@professor_shartsis good point. there appears to be a debate on definition and application in a separate thread

What is the agreed upon definition for redundancy as it relates to esk8?


@b264 thanks for the clarification. corrected the glossary

While I fully agree with correct terminology its commonly referred to as ppm. Across the board(excuse the pun) Maybe bracket the ppm after pwm so to aid understanding.

Again good write up.

@Dareno - good suggestion. updated.

@rusins updated Windings, Can/Bell, Grub Screws. Since I was at it, added Outrunner/Inrunner, and Poles as well with linked to images. Since these items come up with some ESC configuration software.

This is great info and bookmarked. I was only pointing out that be it correct or not, split ppm is the commonly used term for linking 2 vescs without using canbus so the clarification maybe a bit pedantic but easier for new builders to understand. I know how confused I was in the beginning especially with all the acronyms.

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. I’m always reminded of how little I know when attempting to explain things to others. In my experience providing detail on technical items early is well worth the effort and usually avoids confusion and frustration later. So a pendant you are not.

This is a useful and informative thread and much as I love derailing, (fuck I love derailing threads) this is not the place to do it. Behave yourself.
