That’s sweet! Can’t wait to see metr data…

Unfortunately I don’t have metr Pro (non-Unity), so that’ll have to wait. I will have Stormcore app data though.

Going for a ride in a couple of hours when I get out the house!
The build is not pretty yet, but she sure spins the wheels!

Next up is a heatsink that pokes out of the backpack, since I keep on running high speed and high temp on the ESCs.

Fuck that is really high temp. How you gonna do the heatsink?

50x25mm aluminium L-section back to back forming a T-section, about 150mm long, with 100mm of the “T” cut off. The remaining 50x50mm “T” is the bit that pokes out, and the 150mm lies flat on top of the battery pack.
Then the ESCs get mounted on either side of the 150mm piece, and on the 50x50mm I put a CPU heatsink, might add a cooling fan later too.

Wow those got toasty, what currents are you set at?

Excuse the french but thats a cuntload of current at that voltage… you’d be cooking your motors surely?

Max limits mate, doesn’t mean I get there 99% of the time. Keep in mind it depends on what the battery can supply and for how long too.

What’s the wattage of the motors? Surely you’re over max limits

Rated for 4032W each. Max Amps on my last run was 94.3A at 57.0V for one motor and 89.8A for the other, so guess I was over by about 1100W for a short period of time.
Do you think I should be looking at 6396’s or 6380’s?

Lol nah man i think you should be lowering your current
But see how the heatsink goes first

What I meant was, you seem concerned for the longevity / potential failure of my motors, plus who wants to go lower power anyway?

Not necessarily concerned for the motors, more so pushing that much current at that voltage. Doesn’t that antispark only have a 60a fuse? And your settings are at 100 battery amps per side 
I don’t think the escs should be getting that hot. I also don’t think you need that much current.

Okay, now you’re talking sense to me. So it’s a 60A fuse, but apparently only pops at 95A (right @Blasto?), and I only drew max 63.6A on my last run. Battery current is the total, not per side IIRC.
But you’re running single ESCs
