Sorry I’m a dumabss what exactly do you recommend doing?

648 is for small gaps
638 larger gaps.
Both are around 3500Nm strength, 638 might just be trickier to get over everything

any top-mounted 12s8p 21700 eMTB builds people know of? - am looking for a suitable enclsoure/box that isnt Trampa, and that will fit this battery spec (Pelicase ones seems to only fit 12s7p 21700 max)

I’m doing 16s6p which is the same amount of cells in this enclosure. https://a.aliexpress.com/_uHKfeX.
When it comes in I will measure the true internal dimensions and let you know if it fits.

Geo_Engineering_FTW · February 5, 2021, 4:13pm

that would be really great if you could. do you remember which one you bought? - there are a few different sized ones.

Minimadness · February 5, 2021, 4:16pm

280 x 230 x 98

Geo_Engineering_FTW · February 5, 2021, 4:17pm

Minimadness · February 5, 2021, 4:19pm

Ali said its in my country so I should be able to let you know soon!

Geo_Engineering_FTW · February 5, 2021, 4:21pm

oh cool! … just in the early plannig stages, but battery/enclosure/deck ive learnt the hard way are the first things to sort

Kev · February 5, 2021, 5:17pm

I Ordered some XT60 connectors, but accidentaly ordered ones that have cables in them. I wanted to use them for the connection from esc to motor (also should have gotten coonnectors with 3 cable inputs instead of 2 lol)

Should i remove the cables attached in those connectors or should i just solder my cables onto those cables? And how could i remove those cables?

frame · February 5, 2021, 5:19pm

cut the heatstrink off and desolder the cable from the connector

frankthedragon · February 5, 2021, 5:31pm

I’d probably just get new connectors and save these for future uses. Gonna be weird using 3 XT60s for two motors, and you’ll always find a use for XT60s. Get MR60s or MT60s instead without pigtails.

Kev · February 5, 2021, 7:05pm

For what can I use them ?

Another question, how can I connect the motor with the ESC and battery for testing, would it be possible to solder them together or would I damage parts that way?

Kev · February 5, 2021, 7:05pm

I mean just for testing when I have no connectors at home

b264 · February 5, 2021, 7:54pm

@Kev I have done this before and DO NOT recommend it.

this

frankthedragon · February 5, 2021, 9:43pm

You can use them really anywhere you want to split a power cable. That can be battery leads, power supply units, or even a small loopkey. I bought a pack of five for a Nerf blaster thinking I’d only ever use one, well a year later they’re all gone for various things.

I guess you could solder them, but I wouldn’t really recommend it, especially on the battery side. I really don’t like working on a live powered system, and I’m not sure how the antispark would function.
