Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

cheers for the feedback
i already bought some Caliber II’s in prep for a belt build, thought i could maybe use them with the ones linked…i guess not is what ur saying. do you recommend those TB’s ones soley because of the trucks, or are they vastly superior motors? - also, ive no understanding of KV rating for Hub-style motors, how do dual 6355 190kv belts compare to that 58KV DD in terms of torque?

[mmaner]

Honestly, I’ve never ridden either. I’ve had them both in my hands and the TB DD’s are made of better quality components. DD is not going to be as fast as Belt Drives, the torque is similar.

nice1. food for thought heh

This is what I got to work with which port would I plug into if I bought it?

It might be a stupid qestion but whatever. Is it possible to use two different vesc’s in a dual setup??? Thanks

[Ukaz64]

I couldn’t find any info about that

[b264]

if you put in 30a battery limit, and you have 2 motors, 60a can be drawn from the battery.

I don’t think that’s true for some “dual” controllers like Unity but I don’t have dual controllers so IDK

[b264]

Is it possible to use two different vesc’s in a dual setup???

If they are VESC compatible, then yes this is not a problem. If you use CANBUS there are other considerations, but otherwise everything should just work without using CAN.

Use split PWM (“PPM”) or dual PWM (“PPM”)

[Ukaz64]

so if i want to connect maytech 4.12 with focbox what should i do? just the CANBUS?

[b264]

Do anything except CANBUS

Use split PWM (“PPM”) or dual PWM (“PPM”)

You can actually use CANBUS but you’d need to match firmware versions and there are a lot more gotchas

[Ukaz64]

ok thank you

[b264]

maytech 4.12 with focbox

Realize that one side is going to overheat and throttle down much sooner than the other side though. But this is fine

[Ukaz64]

but do i have to make the both settings same?

[b264]

No, in fact the settings will be different. The 4.12 probably doesn’t want more than 25A - 30A “battery max” while the FOCBOX can do more

The motor numbers should match your motors.

Just set each one up like it’s on its own on a single drive skate.

[b264]

Limiting the FOCBOX battery max to the same as the 4.12 battery max can make it feel more symmetrical and not pull to one side on hard acceleration

But really torquesteer isn’t that bad, you get used to it in a jiffy just like any other quirk of your board

[Ukaz64]

i think of dual setup but one motor on front the other on back so i think it shouldnt be such a problem

[b264]

Put the FOCBOX on the rear motor, on the heelside of the board

4.12 on front toeside

[Ukaz64]

tru, thanks for help

Anyone here have nothing but problems with the pryside antispark? Today it almost took my battery and my car (lmfao) so it’s getting put out of commission but everyone else who has them hasnt had any of the problems I’ve been having.
