What enclosure are you using?(for the bat) Tried and true duct tape method?
not sure yet, either top mounted in the middle of the board or iunder the first half ot the deck next to the motors
might have to buy a new esc before mounting tho rn it cant even go up a slight hill
Single motor or dual? And what ratio you have?
single 6374, but i heavily doubt the motor is the problem
ratio 4.8 - 1
I’m guessing somewhere with 15t and 38t, or am I a bit off?
15t and 72t on 200mm
Ah, 200mm. Yeah single motor isn’t gonna do much for it. I’m guessing pneumatics?
yeah but still it doesnt even get above ambient temperature i think the vesc is commiting fraud here

Hill grade? or you don’t know?
Looks about 15, 20% ish. Yeah it was gonna struggle a bit. But we’ll see if you decide to change the esc.
tbh it aint even struggling its straight up crawling, shocking stuff
are dickyho motor mounts only meant for rear or can they also go under, with my top mount trucks and 110mm wheels it looks like they’re would be enough clearance

My board came with Evolve clone trucks - flipsky or the like.
Thinking about casting about for authentic Evolve trucks if I can find some used for cheap.
Does anyone have an opinion: are authentic Evolve trucks better than clones? Would I notice any improvement?
(I already have riptide bushings on the way - holding out hope that that improves things already)
I’ve been using that thing. it gets hot but it works
As long as it gets me until the Ali YZPower order comes in I’m good
No clue. I prefer the mountain board trucks over evolve.
Hello =)
I come to you with two entirely unrelated questions this time:
-
Would you suggest flipsky or trampa motors? The thing about the trampas is that they are not sensored and are open, which, for some reason, makes me kinda uncomfortable lol. At the same time that means they are WAY cooler than, say, flipsky motors. If I am going to ride in sort of wet conditions too, what do you suggest?

Picture this: You live on the top of a large hill. You fully charge your skateboards battery and want to go for a ride. Now you can’t really brake when going down.
Has anyone considered or even made a system with a second, small, usually empty battery in parallel to the main one, using diodes to direct the flow of current when braking/accelerating?
There’s no passive configuration of diodes that will allow this without the main battery dumping into the secondary one and probably causing a fire.
I’m not sure there’s even an active configuration of relays, switches, or mosfets that would allow that.
In any case, that’s a whole lot of work and complexity, cost and space, that can be entirely negated by simply not topping off your battery that last few %.
You don’t even have to actively remember to stop charging at 95% or whatever. Just set up your charger or BMS to only charge to 4.1 volts or whatever, and boom, instant buffer. Zero brainpower required.
Neither motor is anywhere near fully sealed. Water is going to get in, period. More water is going to get in the trampa motors, sure, but they don’t have sensors. Sensors are generally the thing that water kills first, so that failure mode is simply gone from those motors.
There are ways to improve the water resistance of the sensors (conformal coatings, insulating with epoxy, etc), which can make the flipsky motors much more water resistant.
Basically it comes down to cost, and whether you want sensors (easy startup, no tuning HFI), or if you would rather have the reliability gained by having no sensors to fail.
You could always get the flipsky ones and just ignore the sensors too I guess. shrug
