I do the extension cord trick if I have enough extra length. Not the best for wires but they shouldn’t be under any real tight strain anyway…

Fun fact the VESC FOC algorithm still manages to work with only two wires plugged in.
Albeit super jank
Also where did you get those cable glands.

They’re pg7 cable glands, lokman brand but they’re all basically the same if it’s also pg7.

Dear @Battosaii @BillGordon , imo, at the begining the purpose of the crowdfunding was to support individual innovators who has some valuable prototype and do not have enough budget. Then if there was success in the campaing the innovator would;
*gather some budget to build a team to innovate more
*gain popularity to achieve sustainability
*get investors attention for some real investments
The system was so helpfull…
But then, as you ve mentioned, big companies with big budgets came into play and ruined that system, with putting the risk of R&D on the shoulders of the customers without risking any of their own!

So much this. Crowdfunding as a concept has basically been ruined because it’s not practical to accomplish anymore.
Not unless you could somehow vet that each fund has been created by an individual with little or no business experience and that they are in no way backed by a large corporation… which as-of now isn’t really possible.

@b264 you might be right… But it really hurts to see that the community people do not believe in crowdfunding anymore…

He’s right.
Channels go on eMTBs & Street Carvers, not Skateboards.

IDK? As long as you can solder with it I suppose? I use an 80W Arduino based solder iron, but you can get cheaper ones on Amazon for like $20 I think. Also, tip size matters for bigger gauge wires.

The tip is your problem, it doesn’t have much mass mass to store heat, what you need is a powerful iron, as you have, but with a massive tip, copper conducts heat really well, so if your tip is lightweight it cools really fast
