Alright so I just did my first DIY build and I’m not too familiar with the VESC tool and what I should set my motor settings to. I want to be able to get as much torque/RPM/amps out of my battery to the ESC without killing anything
I have 6380 190kv TB motors
Torqueboard V6.6 ESCs
12s8p 30Q pack
First off. @Nacho I can’t make this clear enough. I’m dumb as fuck
Secondly @ahrav isn’t the max batt output 120A? If I’m wrong, please refer to my first sentence. Math not very engrish.
But yea, I’d do 70-75A all around. IMHO, you can set your motor current upwards to like 80-90A. Shit don’t matter
Also depends what gearing you have, what size tires you have, how’s your riding style, what kind of terrain we talking bout here
Hmm uhh we’ll 30Q can easily handle 20A cont discharge even tho its rated at 15A. Plenty of tests show it can easy peasy do 20A
Bump that shit up… and yes as @Jujo pointed up you can ramp
Those motor amps high only downside is thermal throttling… more amps you throw at it the faster it’ll
Heat up
But yea try 75 for batt and 90 motor… if that’s not enough 80A for the batt per ESC should help.
Also motor amps will
Be more responsible for your low speed torque and the batt amps will take over at high speeds (pretty sure )
These motors can typically go to at least 100A “motor max” and you probably want like -75A motor min, that number controls how strong the brakes are at LOWer speeds
For “battery min” or regen, you probably want about -15A per ESC, that controls how strong the brakes are at HIGHer speeds
as for battery max:
What size wire is going from your battery to the ESC?
Who built the battery, or how are the series connections done, with what size wire/nickel/etc?
Are you bypassing the BMS for discharge? (like this)
In absence of additional information, I’d set battery max at 41A per ESC but you may be able to go higher with additional information.
I would deffinty do 90 battery amps and 100-110 motor amps, and fly with the wind my friend…fly. I’ve almost never been able to pull more then 60amps continues. Sure bursts of 200 amps on 4wd setups, but normally your current draw will be pretty low. The motors can easily handle 100. Ive ran mine as high as 110, without issues. This set up will give you lots of power, and you can simply control it with your trigger.
Personally I Agree with Brian
Need to know a little more about battery wiring size before you go nuts with it.
Second
Yes. 30q handles 20a well but that doesn’t mean you wanna max out your shit right away
Start off slow and work your way up and I’d take the pack as 120a max just like @jujo says
@Skyart is right. 90a batt max meaning 45a per vesc That’s definitely a good starting point
@jujo. No one can be dumber than all of us combined. I mean. Wth are we doing standing in a damn piece of plywood doing 40mph
There are safer ways to move around
