Has anyone considered adding a diode to allow regen even after blowing the fuse?

janpom · June 18, 2020, 10:25pm

Yes, I realize that. This actually didn’t work out quite as I have imagined. I thought I would be able to keep the loop key way smaller than if using a single automotive fuse. It’s not that small at the end though.

Anyway, I will test it very carefully before deciding whether I want to keep it or not.

One other problem I realized is that the terminals of some fuses are very close to each other and may actually touch and bridge the fused connection. It would have been better to put a heatshrink around each fuse.

Its not a Sena…but its pretty damn close

The fact that the 2mm hex wrench broke before the bolt stripped-out can attest to the quality here.

Wera Hex Plus for lyfe

Any other wrench would still be whole – but instead of buying a new wrench, now you have a stripped-out grubscrew fucking up your skate. So instead of a $5 problem, it’d be a $1500 problem

@257 Here you go, this listing is actually hard to find

Just search for 05022602001

Lol that’s one way to look at it. It didn’t seem like I was cranking on it hard enough to snap like it did but it do I suppose I am thankful it didn’t strip my motor shaft grub screw beyond removal

Thanks for the link

b264 · June 19, 2020, 5:29am

I’ve had the same thing happen with Wera Hex Plus 2mm wrenches and I’ve had overtorque situations with other cheap 2mm hex wrenches

The Wera snapping is by far better

The other ones destroy the bolt AND the wrench simultaneously, then you’re super-fucked

Put some penetrating oil on it while a new wrench ships, you will be FIIIIIINE

Lol, can’t beat it for a 50

Andy87 · June 19, 2020, 7:48am

@janpom similarly was done in the old forum with just one automotive fuse. Don’t remember who did it, but he removed all the plastic parts of the fuse and just used the fuse blade. I think you can get the midi fuse blades just as they are without casing.
If it’s still too big you could just print a T shaped cover for the loopkey and hide the fuse inside there.

This is so sick!

@rafaelinmissouri
which motors are those old ones? and are you selling them by any chance?

glyphiks · June 19, 2020, 9:58am

Lol, Raf doesn’t sell shit, he just builds more boards

ducktaperules · June 19, 2020, 1:43pm

Just curious, why all the cables? Why not just get the correct size cable and connector?

Trampa · June 19, 2020, 1:47pm

They would be thick and stiff. 3 x high flex wires are easy to bend and consume less space.

EreTroN · June 19, 2020, 1:55pm

Any plans for dual esc in future?

Trampa · June 19, 2020, 1:56pm

We have a lot of plans…

rafaelinmissouri · June 19, 2020, 2:47pm

Yeah. What @glyphiks said. I hoard and then hoard some more. They are old Flipksky 190kvs I have had a couple years now.
I thought I may have a bad motor but may just turn out it was one bad bullet connection…
