Hey,
Sorry to be a pest, I’ve been trying to DM you but I’m not sure if it is getting through.
I live in Manhattan Beach and would like to buy your board.
Thanks,
Ed
Just responded! Sorry I was in class.
I know Ed!
Why 100D only to run at 14s? Wouldn’t it be a better use to use a 60D instead and put the 100D in a 16s+ system?
im not sure about this, maybe a ubox instead?
You right, I did a bad math
Well the 60D is only rated for up to 12s (according to Lacroix’s website) and I wanted to be able to give the board a full charge without worrying about over juicing the battery when braking. Plus I thought it would maybe provide some “thermal headroom” since it’s operating at well below the maximum voltage, but who knows. Better safe than sorry. I would have loved to put a Spintend in there for the integrated light feature but I was already pushing the space in that enclosure to the LIMIT, there’s no way it would have fit.
Or you could be a lunatic like this:
Thought I would leave some feedback on the Stormcore 60D; having pushed it to the absolute limits in regards to voltages and some other settings… Well might be helpful to whomever was pondering some tweaks to theirs. Setup: Boosted Rev 15S3P Molicel P42A Stormcore 60D *usually run the 100D in a 18S3P, but am waiting for the next supply run soon here. Magura Hydraulic Brakes MT5E Each motor given Max 100 Amps & -60 Brakes. Max 50 Battery Amps & -30 for the brakes. Kicked the duty cycle up …
He hasn’t responded unfortunately. Rip
The lacroix boys finally caught up with him, turns out he knew the 1 trick that ESC manufacturers didn’t want you to know
Plus I thought it would maybe provide some “thermal headroom” since it’s operating at well below the maximum voltage, but who knows.
It’s actually better not to have a ton of voltage headroom.
Higher voltage ESCs have higher MOSFET resistance, so a 100D would heat up more at 12s compared to 60D.
You have to actually use higher voltage to get ahead.
Do share plz
He found the secret to 15S on a 12S ESC but unfortunately the mafia found him before he could share :’(
Was it mafia or Illuminati? I can fux with the mafia…
speaking of finding secrets, does someone wanna show me how to run 20S on my flipsky 4.12?
yeah you just buy 6 of them, 2 in series at a time and 4 more as backups
Awesome, I already have 2
