So I’m in the middle of figuring out how I’m going to be setting up my ESCs (planning on getting two the Torqueboards’ new ESCs; oddly enough the images on the site haven’t been updated yet) and after doing some digging, the topic of how two ESCs should be paired seems to be a pretty contentious topic. From what I’ve seen, there are three ways of connecting them:
CANBUS (This seemed to be the least used due to experiences with ESCs being fried, but also some manufacture recommends it)
PPM (or PWM or Y split? A little unclear if these are different)
Using two receivers (one for each ESC) and pairing them to one remote, with no connection between the ESCs besides the parallel connector to the battery. (also if this is the ideal solution, which remotes actually can connect to two receivers at once? I also found a thread for this but it just turned out to be a long argument lol)
Sorry for the extra long posts I’ve been making; I really want to reduce the chances of ballsing up my build and dropping way more cash than I need to. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
Going to be routing my wires ontop of the deck since I’m doing a split enclosure. Is adding epoxy to the wires really necessary, or will I be just fine without adding anything for reinforcement
@malJohann From my google Fu research I’ve gathered this:
Equipment with lithium batteries installed is permitted by air as long as you fill the dangerous goods contract, pack it very securely (ex.: Rigid exterior box to prevent crushing) and put a UN3481 label.
DHL: air travel is allowed, but it has to be declared as DG. upon pick up / drop off at service centre they may also need to check how you’ve packed it if said battery isn’t encased within a device. some info is also needed if item “looks” big, for example, battery type / diamension / Wh…etc
Noob question here: I’ve got a Landyatchz evo falcon 36, and want to make it as AT capable as possible. Would channel trucks work on the board? Or are there any risers out there that can make it work? My main concern is the tail end of the board points downward.
It’s also generally recommended not to go below 15 teeth on HTD5M. You can, but the further under that you go, the worse. Less engagement, higher possibility to skip, fast belt wear, possibly more noise. 12T is about the absolute limit for an HTD5M tooth profile.
There are adjustable baseplates for channel trucks that you could buy to make work with that deck. You can also just use a wider skate truck with some 6" pneumatic wheels and hubs.
Do you know what I would need to search up to find those baseplates? If I use a wider truck and air tires, would it absorb the same amount of vibration as channel trucks with air tires?
Awesome thanks for the help, Ill give them a try if I can get it to work My main concern was if Id be trading in ride comfort, the roads in my area aren’t the best. Thanks for the help!
except perhaps right at the motor I don’t think the phase wires could have touched anywhere.
but I’m going to go ahead and open the motor up next to see if I can see a cause.
