The Smörğasbord |trampa HS11|TB6|Kaly Drive|APS 6380 170kv| 12s5p QB26800

is the hot glue around the periphery of the esc case, so the bottom of the aluminum esc case is in direct contact with the surface of the aluminum enclosure?

or do you have hot glue between the two?

if the first i wonder if heat transfer can be improved with the use of arctic silver or something similar

i assume that the torqueboard esc pcb is correctly sinked against the case, but that’s something jed screwed up on the neoboxes, so it seems like a step that’s easily overlooked

Not really. In the end the only thing that matters here is power draw.

According to the log, you burned 160Wh of energy in 11 minutes, which is around 900 watts of continuous power draw between both VESCs. That’s like Meepo levels of power, it shouldn’t heat up so much.

I think there’s a thermal pad/paste missing or something like that :sweat_smile:

The bottom of the esc is resting on truck mounting screws that penetrate the enclosure and deck to hold everything together

This is how hot my FS 6.6 dual plus gets pushing this much power through it. Throttling has only ever manifested as a decrease in power though. Any cutouts have been solved by setting the absolute max amps to 200.

Also noted, I will make this change and see what happens

You should double check before purchasing, I can be dumb all the time

Curious what it’s set to now. I think the default is 130.

Ever figure out the heat issue with your ESCs?

I guess there really wasn’t an issue, this is normal for ESCs to heat up after 10ish miles of hard riding with that big of a wheel and going up and down hills

So whats too hot?:joy:

I was worried seeing my TB6 at 66c with TB 6380s lol
Mostly because the previous Maytechs were only getting to 55c
