They are, and are likely the 75kv versions that came out right after the original ones like mine. (They made some 58kv with this can style.) The guy with the most information on this is @mishrasubhransu

[Robert-Jan]

Are the guys from Metr also on this forum?! I ordered a Metr … now I’m wondering how long it will take to get this package from Germany to the Netherlands.

The Definitive Guide to Metr App / Metr Pro

[STATUS: IN PROGRESS] Metr App is probably™️ the most advanced telemetry app for electric skateboards. As amount of features continued to grow over the years the time has come for the proper guide to explain the basics and some hidden secrets in the app. This guide will be improving over time and hopefully some day will cover everything the app has to offer.

Very helpful. I sometimes struggle with trusting my solder work.

I’m still confused about the ESC settings (motor, battery max and mins also brake settings) Could not find a thread that explains each setting in detail. Anybody have a link?

[wandagoner]

@wandagoner

Motor Current Max : Amp draw from the motor - limited by the ESC maximum current draw.

Motor Current Max Brake : Amps fed back through the ESC to the Battery when braking with Motor.

Battery Current Max : Maximum amps taken from the battery - this is limited by the battery, BMS, or ESC.

Battery Current Regen : Max amps fed back through the ESC to the Battery. always lower or equal to motor current. DC current you are allowing your battery to charge at while braking

This is from the glossary of terms, does it help?

Would this charger for a 12s 4p 30q battery be just fine? Or is there a different battery charger that I should be looking at? Need HELP

[BluPenguin]

Any 12s charger under 10A is going to do you just fine. Just find the right plug is all.

[kadeanderson]

The 5.5mm x 2.1mm jack is more widely used than the 2.5 version.
