Ah fuck!!! Same shit happened again but on the other motor this time. I don’t know WTF is going on. First I thought it was because the esc came loose. This time that is not the case but the phase wires have melted at the bullet connectors same as before, just the other motor this time.
My settings I feel are well within the capabilities of VESC and wires/connectors I’m using:
Motor amps 35 (17.5 each motor)
Motor brakes -35
Battery 80amps
Battery braking -40
(Battery is 10s4p of Sony VTC6 cells).
As the pics hopefully show, you can see the heat shrink that seems melted or somehow shifted on connectors. Definitely some melted spots though. And on the enclosure where phase wires touch.
Edit: Thanks to B264 for the help! It appears I just suck at soldering and had a cold joint. Will do a pull test on the remaining connectors and hopefully good to go with new connectors again. Time for a new soldering iron although a good craftsman never blames his tools. So yes, I’m not a good craftsman haha
