By the way, a 16S5P (18650 only) fits perfectly in the @glyphiks Demonseed 44 enclosure. I just happened to have a 10S6P laying around. But if not, I’d have put a 16S5P in there. You can see the amounts of extra space on each side of the battery.
I’d considered using VESC6 but they wouldn’t fit. (Which is the same reason why there’s only one TB6 and not two in there)
Unfortunately this build predates the InfinitySink, I’ve just been slowly tweaking it since @abusfullofnuns was in town. He saw the very first iteration on 2020 July 27 when it was born and saw its first tarmac…
This is the new preferred medium-haul vehicle in my fleet. For short or long trips, I usually grab a different vehicle. For medium trips or if it’s raining or wet, this is my typical grab.
I followed up with them about this yesterday on IG, whoever runs their handle says its still coming “very soon”. So I’m still checking their site everyday.
Also nice build man! makes me wana throw some small wheels on my K. Rimes
This build is incredible. I’m using the same motors and attempting to waterproof my enclosure as well. My question for you is how was setting up HFI? My sensors came broken from the factory (kinda knew that they would) and I never got HFI to work without a little bit of flipping when I move the motors by hand.
I hope this isn’t too off-topic but I’d love to model parts of my personal build after what you have going on here. Also, I love how you have the voltmeter going through the enclosure!
HFI is notorious for changing when the motors get hot. This makes it not tuned anymore.
So that means once the motors get hot, the HFI doesn’t work as well anymore. But it does still work. Kinda. I’m actually running FOC/unsensored on one side and FOC/HFI on the other side. I had issues tuning it, but in the end I kept landing on the default values 20/4/10:
My biggest advice is don’t have ANY wires exiting the enclosure. Epoxy male (with the pins) MR60 connectors or whatever through the enclosure so there are zero wires going over the lip of the enclosure. If wires must go through, epoxy them through, don’t use cable glands.
This is my rain board now. Yes, I used them in the pouring rain more than once.
Obviously, polyurethane longboard wheels in general don’t excel at performance in wet conditions. That being said:
They handle better than most wheels, notably better in the rain than the SuperFly 74A and the Flywheel 74A and the TB110 78A and the Constrictor 81A — but not better than the TB110 72A, which outperform these Magnum 74A. My TB110 74A are so beat up and end-of-life it’s hard for me to compare those.
disappointment level is high.
