Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

What firmware version are you running try updating the bootloader, also it pays to do both sides separately with older firmware. Are your belts too tight. Post photo of motor detection. Where did you get battery?

Motor Max 60A
Battery Max 99A
10S4P 10.8 Ah lithium ion pack made from 18650 cells
Not sure about discharge bypass, where is that set in the VESC tool?
I’m running FW 5.1 HW 410
The belts are not very tight, just enough so that if I hold the wheel and try and turn the motor it won’t skip a tooth.

Is it legit to post affiliate links?

I purchased the battery on Etsy from a seller that builds the packs to order

What cells?

That’s not something in vesc tool, that’s a hardware configuration issue.


Warning here about Etsy batteries…

im going to guess its not flipshit’s problem for now (since it kind of works off bench), but the BMS cutting off because u might have pulled more than 25A for a long period of time

If it was from this seller https://www.etsy.com/listing/771133166/36v-10s4p-18650-electric-skateboard
then you need to set your battery max to 15A, not 99.

Also that’s a shitty, low power, made-in-china battery pack. Not made to order, except maybe soldering a different connector if you ask.

Your power will be severely limited.

And you should report the seller for fraud, because it’s a violation of Etsy’s ToS to say something is handmade when it ain’t.

Buying a battery from Etsy is like buying an rollex from a vending machine…

Especially when the price seems too good to be true.

The Xmatic iOS app doesn’t work on the latest VESC firmwares, be aware of that.
The most updated version it supports is 4.01.

Yup ended up getting a refund for that and had @A13XR3 build me a pack and it’s been very good to me.

It’s on a single 6355 with a focbox and it takes me up to 25-30 mph
