Is there an Android UI for the Stormcore? Or is it Apple only?
Freesk8 app will work with stormcore
Android uses vesctool app or freesk8 app
Also the official VESC app works with stormcore too.
Im unsure if it has a main fuse?
The heat sinks definitely do not touch the fets directly, only through a thermal pad. The screws that hold everything together runs through the PCB Holes which are a ground plane. And there is a middle screw holding the PCB on the aluminium casing.
Any ideas where the main fuse would be?
Ideally, somewhere between the pack and anything else.
I was just talking conceptually though. If the pack had a main fuse then it would blow. Some packs are not fused.
Ah you mean a inline fuse for the battery. All good. I thought you meant a PCB fuse in the ESC.
There might be one there, still acting as the main fuse, if it’s “between” the battery pack and the ESC’s circuitry.
If anyone is curious, I ended up putting in an order for the Apex Predator, and will make a DIY street board from the beginning at some point The Verreal is going to be taken apart for spare parts.
Hell of an upgrade, dude. Congrats!
Thank you, im super excited for it! I have never ridden anything but Verreal except from countless longboards and other manual boards.
Congrats! The Predator is a completely different world. Expect to take a little bit of time to get used to the bindings
Yea absolutely! Its been a childhood dream of mine to have some fort of board that would allow me to jump while riding it. Amazing to finally let it become reality!
According to this there’s only one ESC that’s good to 13s without using one rated for 16s, and that’s the Maker-X D60 witch seems to have hardware and firmware issues, is there no “12s rated” VESC I can use for 13s without getting one rated for 16s?
Don’t charge to full / don’t do harsh braking on a full battery and you can do 13s on any reliable 12s ESC pretty much. Even a unity could handle it, not that I’d recommend one.
So if I slap on my DV6 and just avoid braking for the first 1km I should be fine? 13s being only 54.6V should be good as long as I don’t cause a voltage spike right? And the DV6 uses 63V caps idk if that matters.
That sounds acceptable to me, I’d try that.
I ran 13s on escapes for ages. Was using hubs tho and always made sure i went for a good squirt before using the brakes. I did need to emergency brake a few times on a full battery and nothing died.
