But why even specify then what config you are using?

“How efficient is it to limp?” Its the only reason I could think for a sk8

#1628

for an esk8, probably it is, but tribike exist :man_shrugging:t2:

They do exist but they’re not common enough to require a calculator

#1630

i find ~5-10% more efficient

less rolling resistance, less energy loss through the belt stretching, less friction
more torque applied
other reasons i’m sue are out there

Wait is that really the case? So if I look at RT data in VESC tool or Freesk8 or any of those for a dual ESC, it shows consumption on both sides, and not just the ESC I’m plugged into? I always assumed it was only for one side, since it showed me getting 10Wh/mi on pneumies which seems low.

It will do it per esc for sure if you don’t have it configured to dual esc vs single vs quad etc (at least in robogotchi telemetry)

I meant that I can’t think of any loggers that calculate efficiency per motor. I guess single escs would be per motor though, I just mean to say on dual escs, it’s logging the whole esc and not just one motor.

I still wish hub motor styled rims were created. Imagine being able to free roll on 8" :drooling_face:

Y’all joke, but I had a skate mocked up with one 6380 and two 6355 motors. Don’t be so quick to dismiss three wheel drive, it could happen someday. Not today, not here. But maybe some day. Maybe even here? Or somewhere?

#1635

Yeah, I got it to fit like this

with zero wires above or below the cells, and 2.54cm of foam in front of the pack where it’s too narrow to fit 18650 cells inside the enclosure

Is that just a massive amount of hot glue in the front?

No, it’s RTV silicone, preventing rattling/abrading and water ingress

I think those battery series connections are 2x 14AWG if I recall

I am currently shitposting on a zappy skateboard forum to dissociate from whatever is considered my real responsibilities at this point

Big shoutout to antivaxxers, go fuck yourselves and die because you just shut down all “elective” procedures at most meaningful hospitals again. Aka live savings surgeries, cancer treatments, screenings, etc. I hope you fucking get full brake remote’d without a helmet on

Killing people using stupidity, because it’s cool.

Also called “antivaxxer”.

Also notice if you look really closely

See the little pieces of fishpaper around the ends of the wires, to make sure no sharp parts abrade the neighboring wires once the shrinkwrap goes on

#1642

I can’t seem to fit wires along the sides, the thin neoprene I lined the deck with is too tight even without wires in the sides.

W/o the neoprene it’s just CF on the Battery and that’s no bueno.

Anyone got starting points for getting more stable and especially more confident riding at even moderate speeds? I know a level of caution is good for self preservation but I feel like I’m constantly on edge at anything above like 15-20kmh (~12 mph for those using old money). I’m not against buying a skateboard, or throwing together parts into an acoustic longboard, I just kind of don’t know what to do

For clarity I can ride up to 35-40km/h, it’s just I have zero margin for error so it’s really impractical for real world use. That plus 20k feels slow and boring

Get rid of the neoprene and use fishpaper

There just simply isn’t even space for ANYTHING not essential in that area
