thanks for the motivation.

I am using a flipsky 6.7 mini I have a heat sink I plan on attaching it to, to hopefully allow some decent amps. I really do not want to over heat it. because i have no way to replace it.

From what I’ve read on here if you want it to last you should probably limit it to 25 or maybe 30 battery amps.

Yeah. that thing really isn’t designed to push through a lot of current

Idk Lee tested 6.7 at 50 and it was fine if I recall

I think 6.7 is much more robust than the old ones bc of the aluminum pcb

I hope you are right.
Just to be safe though I am going to start at 25 amp and slowly raise by 5 to 10 amps each time. its going to be a pain because I don’t have a Bluetooth receiver so I will have to open and close my enclosure a bunch. An esk8er got to do what and esk8er got to do.

Well dang I was looking at getting one for 13S at about 50-60A. On paper it looks like it would hold up just fine.

Just keep a micro plugged into it and drill a hole in the enclosure so you can just pulled the USB out far enough to plug in laptop. And cap it when not in use.

I was thinking about cutting the top off a soda bottle and jb welding to the side of my enclosure so I have way to access it.

Would it be ok to leave the usb plugged in vesc permanently?

Someone one here has already done that idea I just can’t remember who it was. Yeah your all good to do that.

May hit it with a lil dollup of electrical grade silicone to make sure it doesn’t come loose.

I’ll probably need a longer one but that’s the idea.

Looks like a good plan, just get a rubber insert so the water/ debris starts out

#114

I am just going to put the soda cap thing over it.
