Measure the distance between two side by side pins in the sensor plug WHILE THE BATTTERY ISN’T CONNECTED, it could be jst ph 1.5 instead of 2.0 like other brand.

What would be a good material to make a protection layer for my mounts?
When i come off curbs, sidewalks, whatever, it’s usually the geardrives shell or the motors that take the hit and get scraped. I want to add a layer to hit the curb, not shatter, and slide off relatively easily

the distance between 2 pins side by side is 1mm
0,95mm to be accurate
What’s going on here?
Can you take a picture with the connector over the plug it’s supposed to go in? Like, pin for pin allignment and all

lol? Does ph connector even go down to 1? I know 1.25 exist as makerx uses them, but 1mm?
I have an Apollo Explorer (Zero 10) electric scooter (52v 1,000 watt nominal motor scooter) that I’m modifying with a RION Curve throttle (its a brand new and unique scooter thumb throttle that lets you control the throttle and electronic braking from a single wheel). The RION Curve requires a VESC speed controller and I’ve decided that the MAKERX GO-FOC HI100 75V looks like it will be suitable for my needs. I have a few noob questions:
-
Is the MAKERX GO-FOC HI100 75V considered a quality product by most people? Basically is there any reason why I shouldn’t buy this vs something else? It can handle significantly more power than I will need (I prefer it this way), so I’m not worried about that aspect.
-
Does the MAKERX GO-FOC HI100 75V include the small plugs and wires that go into each of its ports (the PPM, SWD, CAN, HALL, and COMM ports)? If not, where can I buy those connectors? Example: the hall sensor connector for my scooter uses a very different connector (I’ve got the wiring figured out I just need the connector).
-
I’m going to buy the MAKERX Bluetooth Module. Does it include the wires and connectors I need to plug it to the controller?
i don’t know about question 1 since i have no experience with the hv esc, but for question 2, makerx is the only brand known to provide all the connector with pigtail, so u don’t need to worry about mismatch connector type, if u can do a little bit of soldering.
for question 3, it should, makerx is good at providing all the damn wires

I really doubt the efficiency gain from that would be greater than the efficiency losses of a less-torque gear ratio.
I’m the wrong person to ask about that stuff, cus I dont ride in traffic and I dont go on group rides lol. I usually gear my boards to top out at 35mph because that’s faster than I like to go.

Anyone use these neptune BMSs before? I’m kinda interested, but it seems like you need to upload your own firmware to it or pay them 90 bucks to do it? And i’m not really clear on how you would run it in bypass:
“Design in Hong Kong”? damn 
that’s something new
holy shit, and their youtube channel has video from 8 years ago which already has telemetry and speed control for ebike

yeah it looks really promising 
they’ve got adapters to lower cell counts too
A couple of idler questions (I’ve never installed them before)
So do these idlers go through this curvey cutout (where the pen is pointing)?
Which side does this idler with bearing go?- with the little clip you see inside facing inwards or outwards?
What are all these spacers for? Presumably I don’t need to be using them all?

What wheel weights should I use for balancing pneumatics? Lightest standard one I can find is 5g, but 1/4oz is more common. However idk if that’s too heavy for our comparably tiny wheels, and if they’d even stick on due to the curvature.
Idler can be either way, and combine that with the spacer that fits best with your belt allignment. Try to get the entire belt on that idler and be aware that it will shave off aluminium dust on the belt and make it silver lol

I guess the alu dust can cause problems? Getting in motors and shorting electrics I guess?

Na, it’s way too fine and it’s not magnetic. It looks like when you rub something metallic to a fresh paper and it actually writes on it

30-35 for a quality ride, 40 for middle ground between efficiency and your feet not grinding bones, everything up for that authentic urethane™ feeling
