She’s a beast but there’s too much extra space in the enclosure. Battery is definitely her bottleneck.

Charger has small static pre-charge, contactor(PMU) is on battery/BMS side.
Contactor clicks->pilot signal (basically just an I/O) to charger from BMS->charger ramps up voltage.

no clue dude.
I have had these motors a while and in a few different set ups… but they were in pretty good shape… I recently put them on the Khymera which is a belt drive… I run the belts pretty loose.

I went for a ride Tuesday at lunch time and 6 miles in I hear weird noises and eventually see the motor being weird… I thought I blew out a bearing…

rhe universe new I really wanted BN 6384s on this board anyways…

Can you get black axles and bearings?

Vantablack everythanggggg.
Heat would be problematic.
I for one absolutely love dark mirror finish, maybe with some red or purple details, and spiked axel nuts.
Black bearings exist. Bushings can be dyed… ive got black wood stain and quartz sand on deck… now how do we color the axels themselves?

yes Trapstar,The outer shell is carbon fiber

Vantablack is an incredibly efficient “blackbody radiator” (infrared) and can easily shed itself of any (tiny) heating due to visible light absorption. In fact, Vantablack is so efficient that using it could result in a slightly lower overall temperature for whatever it is coating as long as that heat has somewhere to go.
