I got mine for $80, but yeah they look sooooo good. I can tell some were lightly used but I feel like it was at most a test ride around a parking lot haha.
I got 2 of the upgrade sets as well so in total it was 4x hubs, 4x sleeves, and 4x regular wheels. Planning on either making either 1x 4wd board and putting the regular wheels on my push board or making 2x 2wd boards so my partner and I can ride together with similar boards. Super stoked for them but first I gotta finish my MTB…
Ya. Good plans haha. I went the opposite and ditched the mtb build to get these on a plank. Gotta build a battery and figure out a flexibms and I’m off to the races. I was tempted to do the same, but shipping to my country kinda soured the deal a bit and had to respect my empty wallet.
I snoozed and missed the clearance sale. I blame the wildfire in my backyard. If anyone has a pair they decide to sell along with some sleeves please DM me - In no hurry, but really wish I could have put these on my otherwise complete Bustin Sportster before Unlimited went belly up.
So…. The one old motor I got doesn’t quite spin up when throttle input is low, mid to full throttle it will start to spin. No problems really with the newish motor . Can’t complain too much lol
No setting changes just ran normal motor detection.
Not specific to this ESC or remote, but generally bench testing has completely different results than testing under load, and perceived problems exactly like this often evaporate as soon as a load is applied.
Basically the older one has a little more drag in the bearings and doesn’t spin up with as low of a current as the other one.
The same would happen on a belt drivetrain if one is a lot more tight than the other, for example.
Not gonna be an issue when ridden as long as you don’t feel any grinding etc. with it.
HFI is definitely the move with these motors, I think they should detect pretty well, I’ve only done it with FocBoxes and Unitys but they ran really well
