BMS is bypassed so I assume that wouldn’t apply in this situation. I’m really hopeful with the Duty Cycle tip you all shared! Thanks so much!

After further testing the duty cycle did not fix the issue. What’s good, is that it helped me recreate it with no load. Before, only if I slammed throttle in grass would this happen. After changing duty cycle start limit to 85/95 max, it now happens on payment, and I believe with no load as well.
From what I gather maybe this is intended function, but here’s a video. Maxing throttle and the board will cut out.
Normal?

Video aint loading, its audio only. Try uploading it to youtube and sharing a link.
You changed the setting called “Duty Cycle Current Limit Start” right? Not the actual duty cycle setting?

Isn’t much from video, just shows me holding down the throttle and the board ramping down while it’s still full throttle on the puck.
Yes!

Further, when looking at RT data in VESC tool the duty cycle hits 90% for 3-5 secs and then the Unity kills power.
Ahghfhskfe!
Now I’m confused. I flashed the unity to FW 23.46 and now I don’t have any of the above issues. In grass, slam throttle, all good. On bench, hold throttle, all good.
Even some of my Davega issues have been fixed. I can’t control the screen with my remote anymore. Only sporadic screen changes when at a complete stop and some memory issues. Sad the 4.0 update to resolve that won’t work on 23.46…
Any ideas? It’s got to be something I had set incorrect in the VESC tool? Or this unity just don’t like v5.1.
Honestly it might be this 
FW5 has been as buggy and weird as… well as any of the other FW’s to be honest.

I was planning a very similar build but with 140kv motors for more torque. What made you choose the 190kv with bigger wheels? Seems like a lot of top speed you desire

Yup, mostly for speed. With 72T I have nice torque with 4.8 ratio. I do want to try it with 140kv motors
Those might be super awesome, but beware if they are exactly 8mm (or exactly 10mm) inside dimension they probably won’t work. I’ve gotten a few that don’t fit on the axle because the spacer is like 8.000mm and the axle is like 8.001mm or some shit. It’s too tight a tolerance.
These might work awesome, though. I might pick some up to try.
Thanks for the link!

If nothing else, having the link to feed their recommendation algorithm can help find the right part too.
Often the easiest way for me to find something is just to keep clicking on similar recommended things, getting closer each time to what I actually want

sometimes these algorithm work like magic

Update: Just hit 150 miles today on this guy! Yellow/Yellow blocks.
Decided to dip the shocks and hubs in black Rit to murder it out.
Board and Shocks are starting to break in and I can really start getting it on the carves!
Oh I also printed a Puck Puck Bruce! Not the prettiest print as it is quite difficult, but man is it comfortable!
Getting about 30 miles a charge on a 25.1wh/mile average.

Thanks! I’m really loving your gear drive upgrade you did.
Might have to do that myself, also contemplating seeing how big of a battery could fit in the 2 sections and converting the two ends of the enclosures to VESC compartments for 4WD.
