Archived: the OG noob question thread! šŸ˜€

I am by no means an electrical engineer, but afaik there is literally no difference.

If those symptoms donā€™t appear in the motor while disconnected from the ESC, then it is most likely some kind of internal short in the ESCā€¦ Iā€™d take a look for any obvious damage (anything melty or burny is typically a good sign of damage) and check the phase leads for shorts to see if itā€™s repairable.

It will work but add some additional height.

Thanks so much, very useful mate. no signs of shorts or burns on the ESC but still it doesnā€™t work. Tomorrow iā€™ll receive backups ESC to try, i hope the motors will prove to work well. in the meantime, i got in touch with flipsky for assistanceā€¦ not sure if i should try send it back to china right away of first dare to change the leads / connectors. i dont want to send it to china but neither i want to void the warranty by trying to fix it myself

yea, its allready mounted and working, but i had to do guesswork on the angle because i dont know what the lines engraved on the baseplate indicateā€¦ like are they steps of 5 degrees in each direction from center or whatever ?

Given the current state of affairs, Iā€™d also be averse to sending it to Chinaā€¦
In terms of repair, perhaps talk to one of these fine fellows:

Pretty sure they are 5 degrees. Work from 0 and then negate the angle of the deck.

awesome, lets see then where my guesswork took me :see_no_evil:
thanks for chiming in

Donā€™t just commit to 0 degrees.

Take your tools to a big parking lot and fine tune it to your preferences. Definitely takes a minute, but totally worth the effort.

im a bit torn about the settingā€¦
ive read that on tkp wedging the front is not as beneficial as on rkpsā€¦ but yea the solution is just to go try, like you say

Nah there is a tiny bit of space in mine as wellā€¦ not sure if the foamies/ cloud wheel is a bit different than day the 107s. I wasnā€™t sure about it at first but hasnā€™t seemed to be an issue so far but then again I could be wrong hahaha

One more queryā€¦it looks like i need to buy a can bus cable to connect the 2 FSescsā€¦ does anyone know where to buy these in EU?

I do not have one, so unless i can build it, i need to buy it. Thanks in advance!

This is definitely an issue. If the wheel is not fitted properly to the motor, the core of the wheel will take a beating when accelerating and braking. Try moving the wheel back and forth the wheel while holding the motor in your hands, it should make some noise. Cloud wheels / foamies have a shitty ABEC core :frowning:

Check my video to and if thatā€™s the same for you, I really advise you against riding with this issue :

Thanks a lot yea I had them on for like one ride and said fuck it. Threw the TB110s back on. If I do use any abecs with the DD itā€™ll be the 107s. Thanks again.

Itā€™s 2x JST 4 pin 2.00mm pitch cables using only the middle two pins (Can H and Can L) in parallel. If you cant find anyone to give/sell you one let me know and Iā€™ll send one over, but Iā€™m from Canada so itā€™s probably the least efficient solution.

BTW, I think itā€™s the adaptor, not the wheel. My Foamies fit snug on the same ABEC pulley that my 107s used.

Thanks so much. I hope I can source that cable more easily but really appreciate your proposal and the clarification.

then why dos the link above have 4?

@torqueboards any insight as to why the abec adapters for the DD donā€™t seem to fit snug on the cloud wheels? Thanks @BillGordon
