In terms of holding the batteries together in configuration, are you opposed to using hot glue? I seen this used in multiple 18650 battery assembly videos and it seems to be very successful!

Kind of jealous here Moonshine - how come you can snag 60mph with your 4t 19" rim @ 20s and I can only max 45mph 4t 19" rim @ 20s? Is there that much of a speed difference between that of an 18fet vs the Adaptto? What's the dealio here?

Hi there everybody, My Vector build has taken shape over the last couple of weeks. If you've followed any of my other build threads you probably know I like to keep them organized and tidy. For now, this is going to be a photodump and thread reservation - it'll take shape as progress continues...

Hi there, Testing my controller settings on my heavy vector bike / mxus 4t / 20s 25Ah LiPo battery. Programmed settings on my trace upgraded 18fet were at 64 battery amps / phase limits at 165. Predictably, my max battery amps real world were at ~82 peak... but by no means did they sustain that...

So I think I figured the wiring for it completely, studying http://imgur.com/jGKMG.jpg and http://www.servovision.com/LifePo4%20Pouch%20Cell/BMS%2048V%204A,45A.jpg really helped me. I didnt know the short line represented - and the long line in the diagram represented +. Here are my final...

D170 is paid for. I payed right via paypal. Ada assured me that tomorrow the request to produce it would hit the floor. Once manufactured, the board would arrive within 4 working days after the carrier had marked it being in transit. Note on this unit: it's pretty big (220mm L / 120mm W / 50mm...

NeilP, thanks for your reply here, answered all the concerns I had. Some updates here, looks like the MOQ for the D170 is actually 1 which lends itself as a decent option. The salesperson (not Henry, but Ada) has been very easy to work with. I have some minor tweaks that I think would be good...

Great thread here - happy to have found it. Thanks to all those who have contributed up to this point - good read. I want to integrate a PCM from bestech into my 20s25Ah RC LiPo battery but I'm not going to sugarcoat it, this is a sect of battery building that I've avoided for along time...

Hey there snellemin, I really like this CA mount you did, could you explain a little more on the proces you used to mount it to the frame like this? Looks great and keeps cables neat and keeps CA out of the way in the case of a crash. Great thread here, cant thank you enough for sharing your ideas!

Artur is selling kickstands for the vector frames, they look pretty beefy. I have one due to arrive for myself soon but here's a picture that Artur sent me. Check out kiwi's mudguards, they look pretty killer...

Looking for holes in this build... but I can't find any. Shipping on these for a single bike could be quite expensive and bring the price up to that of what we would normally expect for such a build... but still cheaper than similar builds by about a grand. No mention of regen braking on the...

Hi Hertzelz :) That is the front section of a Topeak Defender XC1 - it does come with a rear section of fender too, but I did break it unfortunately. Decent fender set, but In the end every part of it broke on me aside from this one. If only it were made of alu or maybe even alu and ABS. At the...
