I have calibrated the chuck and it seems to work good otherwise. Yes I suppose something like that is going on, in fact I've just noticed that the esc keeps blinking and while it is, I can't turn it off. It stops blinking if I hold full brake for a second and at that point I'm able to turn it...

I have a funny problem. I can ride with the wiiceiver and the nyko kama fine but I can't turn off my ESC without first turning off the chuck. Before with another Rx/Tx solution I would hold the esc power button for a few seconds and upon releasing it the esc would power down. With the wiiceiver...

I didn't notice any overheating, I guess I can't be sure it didn't happen though. What's a lemon motor? All I get when googling it is actual lemons as batteries :D I'm currently in talks with alienpowersystems and it seems that it may be that a hub has gotten detached from the stator. Will...

I finally got to testing with a new ESC of the same model as the previous one. Unfortunately the problem remains. At this point I'm hard pressed to think it could be anything other than the motor. Is there any way to fix a motor which behaves like this or is it simply time to buy a new motor...

It worked like a charm even despite my somewhat shoddy solder job :) Thanks for the help and for a really cool product!

Does it matter in which direction I mount the EMF component? The link to the component data sheet was dead and I can't seem to find the answer from google.

Thanks everyone for the replies, great input! Yes, it spins well and without noise if I run it without standing on the board. Being a beginner at this I don't really know what is timing sensitive in this system but I will do some research :) Yeah the good old process of elimination will...

I did and it does so awesome, thanks :)

Hi, I have purchased and received a kit for self assembly. Reading the manual I'm confused, does the atmega chip which comes with the kit already have a usable boot loader burnt in or do I need to do it myself? Thanks

Hi, I've been cruising along with my board about 5 km almost every day since november and for the most part it has been working surprisingly well considering that it's my first build. Recently though I started having some problems. When I ride, the motor sometimes gives off a bad noise and...

Hi Ricardo, I'm using the exact same ESC with the standard program and so far it has been working but with the following problems: Disclaimer: I'm mostly guessing what the problem is based on symptoms, I haven't measured signals and currents to verify. 1) My Tx has a throttle adjustment and...

I'm thinking of buying the Big-Ben as well because both memorex and nyko kama are difficult to get a hold of where I live. Did it work out well for you? I'm not really sure what problems there would be with other manufacturers, seems like if they all hook up to the same wii controller (under...
