This is awesome

Very interesting! Confirms my suspicion that pneus are a different story. Would have been interested in the results offroad, where the tires can slip more. He has a emtb after all, and locked diffs are for offroad mostly (unless you want to drift), so this video is a bit stupid in than regard, but still, very interesting!

Thanks but all credits go to the french Doc Brown @Booya

Yeah i kinda feel there may have been more at play than what the video covered, but just an insight from a good builder who doesn’t necessarily join in the dumpster fire that is esk8.news.

I’d like to get that surface locally in order to make a textured enclosure

I’ve got one of your Evo enclosures on hand, it’s going lavender epoxy, deck deep purple. the purple texture is going on the bottom of a mov-e that I might not be able to let go of. Faux leather with a fabric backing. Check for local fabric shops, some good stuff to be found, I’m probably going back tomorrow or the next day. Last time I was just scouting it out.

@Venom121212 I eventually want to try to make a DIY onewheel, like in : DIY Onewheel Hoverboard. Mainly because it doesn’t seem like floatwheel is still selling hubs. I was also thinking about some 4WD mini go karts. I found them on Craigslist for 20 bucks each because of bad batteries. I went there to grab 4 for 60 bucks and the seller had 11 in the back of his CRV. He proceeded to ask 70 bucks for all 11 and I couldn’t say no.

22wd

[Mr.Electronicist]

Unfortunately they have the ESC’s that aren’t hackable. So I would need 22 Vesc’s to make that happen lol.

but…
Skatipede…

[frame]

u have enough to make 5 mini gokart + a 2wd scooter

[Venom121212]

Ahh interesting.

NGL, I pictured skatipede too

[Venom121212]

If you pursue the mini karts or even just want to drop ideas/inspiration/thoughts, let me know. Been working on karts recently and would love to share notes.

Fun Rideable Toys - PEV Build Discussion 🏎️

We’ve all been there… You’re in your workshop staring at a pile of unused parts thinking “I’m bored, let’s make something fun” and “these old parts can’t be worthless” Let this thread be a discussion about what awesome PEV projects you’re thinking of tackling and how you may approach said project. 🛼 For example: I just finished up my son’s …

spintend sells a lower kv version. Pair it with 16s and a spintend ubox single and you’ll have yourself quite the machine.

[Mr.Electronicist]

Ahh thanks! I didn’t realize they sold them. Do you know if it’s the wider stator like the floatwheel one?

@Venom121212 will do! I might not get to the karts till this summer though, currently in my last semester of college and my senior design projects taking all of my free time.

@Mr.Electronicist

Nope, those are unobtaniaum. It should be fine though, apparently the higher KV of the floatwheel hub makes that thing run hotter than the smaller stator phubs since you need to dump so much more current into there. You can even get the funwheel kit (just the rails and sensors I suppose) and the motor/ESC from spintend. fungineers.tech

Did you 3D print those panel mounts for the phase wires?
