On that ride I think it was around 33Wh/Mile? I was riding a bit easier because I had @SeanHacker & my girlfriend (yes you fucks, 2 distinct and different people) on eBikes behind me. Average on LoveChild is probably 30-40ish

That’s as good as a confession, defending oneself before anything is said.

Anyway life stuff keeping me away from longer than commuting rides yet again.

I hear that. Weather getting me here. Luckily, I have a wet road ride at the ready. So once a day for chores, and only a single dry night ride in the last week.

And many a curb to conquer.

I’ve been building another 10 cell 15Ah battery pack from those monster Headway LiFePO4 cells, so no excuses outside of esk8 really. I don’t have a lot of time for that, so it’ll keep me busy for a couple of nights.

I have started hitting thermal throttling on my Unity running in Lovechild as the warmer weather comes around, so I’m in a similar boat.

Thermal throttling sucks monkey ballz. Time to source an aluminum block

You have any heat sink on it or raw dogging?

Yeah, but thermal conductivity is not something it does well.

Draw a box with VHB, put thermal paste in the box and then stick it to the deck?
Thermal paste to assist in the heat transfer to… The composite deck?
IDK where @DerelictRobot wants to transfer the heat to? Isn’t carbon a good thermal conductor though?
The Kaly is mostly Fiberglass, only the top/bottom layer are CF. Not enough mass there to do much- Unity is getting replaced by a pair of TB6’s anyway.
LoveChild officially up on the bench tonight to get some 140KVs dropped in.

Is going lower kV a requirement for going high Voltage? Say you’re running 190kV which gives a max speed of 40mph on 12S, would going to 16S mean you’d need to go to 150kV for example?

I see your tricks Gypsy. Trying to get me to admit to the existence of Stormcores in my workshop.
Sorry, @Blasto insists on ‘the good kind of child labor’ (whatever that means) to assemble all the ESCs, so we’ve been waiting for a minute now. These are in preparation for some 18S goodness though.
