Yep. Getting a part which actually fits its the way to go yes. But i currently don’t have the money or tools to make it like it should be.
@b264 No, everything is the same as before except the motor pulleys. Before i took my 1 1/2 month break i had cheap alu pulleys on there. Before i had the alu ones i used the TB pulleys which were the culprit in the first place. After changing them out to the alu ones the problems were gone. Now with the new motors i got new pulleys which installed and did the first test ride today = noise the alu ones didn’t have.
So far = Steel noise
Alu = no noise
I can’t get a better alignment since i use mounts with crossbars and the switch to fivestars took some space since the pulley sits deeper inside the hub.
after going out for a ride today I was nearing the end of my journey, and I noticed that my battery was near depletion so I popped my case and noticed that my voltmeter was alarming. Not noticing the sound in the case! One of my cells dropped down to 2.8v which I know is no good for the battery. I immediately stopped riding and disconnected the battery but the weird thing is by the time I walked back to my car my voltage was upto 3v on the affected cell. my batteries are brand new am I witnessing voltage sag or is this the norm for lipo batteries after use?
there is a soft cut that will only limit power that you can feel if you’re astute… and then it will gradually limit power till it stops putting power to the motors… zero throw offs in all my experience
The amount of max power will gradually decrease from the “start” to the “end”
Like @kook said, if you’re astute, you can feel that cutoff start. It’s at that moment when you know to head home or somewhere you can charge. Depending on your settings, you could get anywhere from another kilometer to tens of kilometers before you only have brakes and no throttle.
My 12s has 3v of limping while my 10s only has 1.5v
Your setup also plays a part in this. My 12s is pneumatic and my 10s is hubs.
Energy consumption will be different. If you hit your start often, play with the numbers till you get something allowing you to get to a charger while maximizing the fun before you reach that point.
I know almost nothing about LiPo setups. Want 12s. I imagine I have to look for 6s and put em in series. What’s a good rating for a 6s LiPo?
Mah?
C rating?
Brand to avoid?
They still have ESCs that cause your board to be resistant to repair, as far as I know. And their choice of 35E cells is very poor and based more on advertising than on science.
