I agree It is bad design that the whole thing depends on a press fit not to shift sideways and bind up.
But Ill also say I’m confident in my fixes just so they will break sooner and we can get this over with
Really though once you battle harden the bearings and loctite every part together it should remove those biggest design flaws at least. The issue then becomes you can’t take it apart properly anymore. Bending hangers is a doozie. Idk I’ll keep updating as I get more km on this but I’m probably at around 8-900km now with what started as squealing bearings.
What causes motors to heat up more and more as these get used? Thankfully mine have held up great since release, but I find myself needing to take it easier and easier due to overheating the more they get used.
How is their freeroll? You have the extra spacers behind the wheel? My 90kv gets to 80c if I’m racing around on 110 pretty fast, but normal riding they are totally good. On 100mm wheels I find the heat issue is minimal unless you’re full throttle 60kmh all the time. The heat dissipation is better when you loctite the motors to the hangers but also terrible for maintenance if you have to take it apart.
It’s really easy to bind up the main motor bearings by the way its designed each different wheel/pulley needs a different spacing of speed washers on the axle behind the wheel.
Unless your bearings are binding, very under lubricated or your motors are too loose to transfer heat to the axle, there shouldn’t be anything else. I mean unless your coils are doing some wierd shit shorting out.
Hello I’m very new to DIY and vesc programming I’ve had several prebuilt board and this is my first vesc and direct drive system. I’m having a loud noise in my motors when I set my motor current above 35A. I have 2 10s2p samsung 40t packs parallel connected fir 10s4p and using torque6 escs, everything runs fine if i set to 30A but above 35 I get that loud noise when accelerating I also set my batterycurrent to the same value,I apologize if I making a noob mistake I’m just getting into this world
Would it be different if I ran with the vesc tool on pc instead of the app? It only happens if I set motorcurrent Amps above 40 my battery is set to 30a. Any ideas what should do
