Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

How can I mount 120mm cloudwheels on esk8supply direct drives https://www.esk8supply.shop/collections/direct-drive/products/direct-drive-3000w-58kv?variant=36737643610274 ? There is no adapter for this.

the abec core adapters should fit, no?

I asked esk8supply about this and they said that “the abec adapters won’t work with the cloud wheels”. That’s why I’m asking here.

Yeah the discovery cloud wheel cores have thicker spokes

For revel, we had to have a separate adapter entirely

ah, i guess they weren’t using the abec clone core then…

You need to take regular ABEC non-alum/steel adapters and shave them down a bit. Timo did this for me a while back with a set of his pulleys so I could run Discovery 120s on my Haggy drive.

I did a comparison/pulley breakdown in the Discovery thread:

iwonder change from genuine abec to clone abec when they try to solve the cracked core issue?

That was the case I think

Clone=more core material. Though fucking KEGEL was the play there.

i still don’t understand why no kegel core, they have the time to design the donut for hobbywing motor, but no time to throw out a kegel core version so stoooooopid

Kegel cores are just better in every way, but I guess the Chinese copies were all made before kegel was common and they are sticking with what they have?

Honestly who knows, I feel like we’ve tried multiple times to get them to try kegel but they always have excuses

If Brenternet were here, he’d point out that Facebook and Reddit are the real hunting grounds for these guys, and we’re a smaller and tougher-to-please subgroup.

Hi guys,

I’ve been having a problem where one side of my Stormcore 60D (new) seems to be struggling to run properly. When under load it doesnt want to turn and is ticking. Brand new 63100’s too. Free turning is fine except for the ticking but as soon as I add resistance it stalls and comes to a stop. The otherside is completely fine and doesn’t have that at all. Both settings on the vesc tool are the same and swapping the motor to the other side creates the same problem on the other side. Does anyone have any ideas because i’m kinda stumped. To note though in smart reverse the problem goes away both motors don’t stall at all.
here. Any help would be really appreciated.

motor shorted? check phase wires and also if the motor mount screws are too long which touches the winding

Ill do that now and see what happens :slight_smile:

No luck :frowning:

try this:

also summoning @b264

haha that’s the first thing I did. It did it on my old motors and I figured it might be those so upgraded but unfortunately not

So, do I understand correctly:

You swapped the motors without changing any settings in software, and the problem swapped sides? Yes?

You’ve already changed the motors to new motors? Yes?

And, are you running sensored or unsensored? First thing I would do is disconnect any sensors if you’re using them, to try to isolate variables. Run sensorless FOC.
