Shit solder joint combined with using vice grips on said solder joint causing it to crack off.
If the foil crimps were larger so I didn’t have to crimp on the wire that would be less of an issue.
Nothing real bad happened, look to the bright side !

omg I just realized I could hook the ts100 up to the battery in order to fix it.
Kinda tempted to just for the meme…

Fixing the battery using the battery to solder itself
Kind of like driving down the freeway on two wheels while your buddy changes a flat tire on a wheel that’s in the air

I’ve seen this on youtube, it’s scary and impressive at the same time

Sounds like a good way to short the battery with the soldering iron

haha this is what I thought might happen, idk if the heating coil would be live to the iron though lol
I really need to get the focboxes out of this and get in some cheap focers, in my testing it draws about 30-40A batt max per motor so they would be perfect.
Get some cheap 4.12, if you don’t want foc (or just stick to 10s)

Cheap focers should be exactly what I need. I do have some 4.12 vescs but I wanted to use them in an AWD esk8.
Could use them in it.
switched the vescs from ack to FW5 bc I don’t need to use hm10 bt module anymore.
One mess of a lubrication and clean up job later she’s ready to rock a couple of more times.
Both the motors spin up on their own again! Looking forward to ride tomorrow, I also want to try running two 6S1P packs in parallel for 355Wh total.

super mad that I missed out on these motors, glad mine have held up at least. I really want to get a pair still so I can go ~10S
oh what a useful looking thread right now

Actually it should be possible to use hm10 with fw5, you just have to add a few bits of code

here’s a guide. I will try to follow it and recompile the firmware with the added stuff once my board is working.

interesting, I bet that would be useful for some folks!
I’m going to eventually go all freesk8 on all my boards.
