Canbus is the easiest way, not sure how u would run single ble with two esc, maybe a usplit?

There is another option: one receiver on each ESC, connected by CANBUS, with a bluetooth on one ESC and a metr on the other ESC.

Then you can change the setup to virtually anything without even opening up the enclosure. You can switch back and forth between CANBUS or dual PWM (“PPM”) and use VESC app or metr…without changing the hardware or opening the enclosure.

And if you accidentally lock yourself out of an ESC you can use the CANBUS to unlock it from the other ESC. All wirelessly.

Wanna share at least an inner tube?
Here terrain is so shit they started chunking from glass shards all over the place…

Honestly I dunno if pnummies are a good (or even viable) option if you’ve got significant glass around. Good quality thane will handle that better than any pneumatic wheel.

I’ve got glass and wet roads (almost continuously for the last month). Between those, i prefer dealing with flats than dealing with soap wheels in a bathtub

Even better, tape. Stretches when needed

1: hm10 modules are no longer supported by vesc tool. Look for nrf 5xxx types
2: use canbus, don’t buy into all the split pwm tinfoil hat nonsense. While you’re at it activate traction control as well, you’ll be a happy noodle

I got them boyzzz!!

I might have a problem adapting these for the kegel core as the valve it’s pretty big but I will try 3d printing

Kegel inserts have ten pieces, abec inserts have six pieces. Not sure of the exact spacing, but it may be easier to adapt an abec core to the 3 spoke pattern. Possibly by just filing the gaps bigger.

You’d need a pulley that rides on a bearing though.

I’m going to adapt them to use bn gear drives, wich use 5 inserts. The thing that worries me the most its the valve situation, it’s kinda big and I may not be able to find a good angle for it. Thanks for the advice tho.

I have that on kegel and on abec so no problem untill I sell them lol.

Can you tell me what advantages/disadvantages has filling the tire more/less? I imagine less filled tires have less range but are a little more comfortable?

Yep

My printer levels before every print so when I try to print on abs slurry it makes the z axis to high and everything’s ends up being a mush

Any hints

Trying to lower z offset now

If you pump it high enough you may get fusion going inside the wheel and get into the negatives Wh/mile
