Weird theories and ideas thread! any ideas welcome

What esc? Have found the DV6 to be pretty decent at dealing with heat. Imagine the aluminium housing helps a fair bit. (I have one inside an enclosure with no external heatsinks and it’s been ok so far)

Halftone and extrude? Why not CNC and heatsink?

@3DServisas @SabreDynamics @Janux-esk8 and anyone else with the means.

Don’t make me buy one from PCBWay.

Looks awesome! Would be cool to cnc, unfortunately the smallest endmill I can realisticly use on my cnc is 2mm. Making the smallest gap possible 2mm and the smallest radii 1mm, not sure that’s small enough looking at the pics. You could probably scale up and rotate the skull on the heatsink increasing the gaps etc. Also the airflow will flow better through the fins in that orientation I guess.

Oh cool! Yes obvious changes in fin size and orientation. I’ll play with the esk8.news logo or something.

My father found this the other day, It would be fun to use it as an integrated deck

we should have a spreadsheet with all vescs ranked from best to worst, maybe one for motors or other parts too

seen that in the wild the other day, I’m realy sceptic about it but who knows, did someone try it ?

Makes me think,we could achieve the same result (if result there is) much more safely with urethan flat risers

This looks like “I’d like to lose fine steering control, please”

Looks like a more durable(?) version of these

I had 2 sets of the ones linked above, both ended up bending/breaking on esk8. Made a decent difference in shock absorption before they broke though…



The dxf files exist.

Is motors being put in series a thing? So like one motor with a thru shaft being driven by another motor. So you get 2 motors, 1 output?

Inspired by Dr Mike’s 4 motors 4 outputs but put into 2 drives.

Yeah it kinda exists. It’s not exactly what you described, but I know for example that Emrax motors are stackable.

Woah that’s exactly what I was imagining, good find/knowledge!

On these motors, the silver part where the wires stick out is static and the entire black part rotates (just as background in case that’s not obvious).

I think basically the left one has a shaft that passes through the center of the right ones’ mounting hub and splines in or smth so the outputs are combined

It’s explained somewhere in their documentation, it’s been a long time since I read it.

So the shop where I build my boards and stuff also makes these:

Other day I was looking at this thing and thinking…

Would be a lot of fun to put some trucks on that, motorize it, maybe make it part of a costume.
