My budget is waiting for BRP wheels. I can break traction too on my Meepo Tubeless, especially if I’m not stanced perfectly. Couldn’t do that before 18s but now, definitely. My time on the leaderboard is like 85% throttle I think. Hard to tell on the batwing puck what the exact percent was.
And the scary thing about breaking traction is that it can cause OC errors and street face you. Not the most comforting thing to think about when doing full power launches.
I’ve pulled upwards of 13-14 kW but never 16. Like everybody else is saying, traction and heat become issues very quickly especially on 20s. I’m super stoked for some of my beefy tires for that reason.
I don’t track race. At all. But I have noticed sometimes that even running over a rock can trigger an OC fault in some conditions, so it makes sense to me. Not the same equipment at all, though.
it’s something very roughly like: the sudden change to less load and back to loaded causes a spike of current, as it tries to overcome the new load. handling a load shock. if that’s quick enough that vesc can’t reduce duty_cycle in time it can hit abs overcurrent.
Are you running traction control? It would help except when you lose traction on both wheels at the same time. You can set the erpm difference a little higher than stock so it doesn’t affect your turns.
