Interesting!
I ordered my SuperSpine.
I was hesitating between the MAX5G2 56118 combo and the MAX4 70125 combo (8S).
Now I’m also hesitating with the 16S JKesc 6890 combo, obviously borrowed from MLR Monsoon.
Your quote above was found in the corresponding thread.
Can this ESC provide 2x100A or is it limited to 2x40A?
Wait it’s kinda confusing if AWD is the brand of the tyre or if the board is 4WD?
The 80a esc mentioned back in april was on the MLR prototypes we raced at esk8con
The 100a 16s JKfoc100b esc has been solid on the MLR.
100a battery side 3800w per motor.
@TZDKB WTF is All Wheel Drive 12kw 50+mph on enclosed steel gear drives with a drop spine chassis long rod steering like on the V-5
Epic that it’s using the long rods like a V5. Having ridden a few different SS setups as well as my V5, they’re both super capable and fun, but I still prefer the long rod setup of the V5. The lean it gives is just straight up addictively fun.
So this new design is advertised to be suitable to offroad (with top mount battery) but I thought that long rod 3 link was more vulnerable to impacts?
This mean you have found a way to protect it?
How loud is it compares to regular Stooge Gears?
assuming it’s the same gear drive that’s on the mlr, it’s very quiet compared to the stooge gears
Same shape and still linn I think, but potentially with different internals?
Drives have all steel internals.
@MichaelWA much more quiet than the hell blender open gears.
Any chance you’re having a black friday sale on bushings? I really need to change my white green to red white on my 3 links
This is awesome. Finally more people will get around bigger wheels!!
Thanks Moe, the protection of the long-rod3-link steering depends on the specific WTF-big wheels-enclose gear boxes or you’re going to update the SuperSpine design / BRP wheels with the long-rod3-link steering?
I mean is it possible to have the steering geometry of the V-5 long rod setup with the old SuperSpine chassis platform, then using Hobbywing ESCs/motors and belly pan system?
Do you think this new system JKescs 16S + 6890 outrunners totally outperfom the old SRB ESC approach : car ESCs + low voltage/high amps + high kv inrunners?
idk if i’d use this language but high voltage high kv awd is definitely at least very competitive with the hw builds
And this JKesc feels more like a Hobbywing ESC or a VESC?
I have a 12S build with two ROXXY BL Control 9120 - 12 Opto ESCs and two SK3 192KV outrunners and it definitely feels more more powerful than a 12S build with the same motors but VESC based ESCs.
I can believe that it’s just a matter of settings, but those powerful car ESCs make things wilder!
In order to have the same feeling of power, I have to match the “VESCs” (sorry Frank!) with way bigger motors like 80100 outrunners.
With a 125 tooth spur the low volt 8s-12s the 560 and 650kv inrunners would do well on 2wd for short track with the 220mm kart tire.
The SS would need the carrier heim stretched and long rodded to fit the 220 wheel with some slight deck to wheel radius clearancing. You lose bar angle and increases turn radius. Not good for short track
Does the drive system perform better? 14kw 18hp with 4 ponies pulling and braking I cant see it leaving much if any on the table.
