If you file down the housing then the metal part will not click into place. Those look like they have a larger diameter acceptance on the back of the connectors than the ones I have. Next time I will order them from hobby king even if they are slower on shipping. I got the ones I bought from...

Gotta love these charts with no units or specs: I think our community should challenge that company to a head to head competition. It seems like it is powered by an outrunner hubby motor. What I would like to see done is have one of our members who has the same motor but in a direct drive...

Ok I recently purchased some 4mm bullet connectors and 10 gauge silicone wire to go along with my turnigy lipos that also use 10 gauge wire. Normally you would slide the plastic part of the connector over the wire and solder on the metal part of the connector. Well I am running into issues with...

Yeah I am getting a whopping 0.00 ohms so my FETs are dead. Would this also mean that the diodes need replacing as well? I would like to rebuild it, but I would like to make it a little more robust. Would there be an issue with putting better quality FETs with higher ratings in it? I am not...

I am having trouble with my YK42-3 controller. Mine has the motor running full speed even if the throttle is not connected. Could this be blown FETs? I will hook the multimeter up to it tomorrow, but just would like some insight on the matter.

Thanks for all of the replies. I don't know what I was thinking... I was in save money mode so i was searching for alternatives to lipo and got caught up in it. When I stood back and thought about it a 36 v 5Ah lip pack and charger is only $75 more and would be less of a pain. Thanks again for...

I am looking at building a pack out of AA NiMh 2600 mAh cells. The plan would be a 36 volt pack with 3 strings of 30 cells. I am new to battery technology (other than SLA's) so I am not sure how reasonable this is. Would this be a feasible pack design for a 750 watt motor or will that be...

Yeah I will add supports that will attach on either side of the rear axle. There are 2 threaded mounting holes on either side that I plan on using.

I have a quick update with some not so good pictures... I am at work now and just have a few photos that I snapped on my phone earliear today, but here it is: Since I don't have any bike specific tools a vise is what I had to use while welding the rack to the frame. Since I amusing a junk bike...

Thanks for all of the replies! Also, thanks for the compliments :oops: . You guys are absolutely right about the weight now that I think about it. I was more concerned with keeping things balanced from side to side that I didn't even take into account the center of gravity.. What if I moved...

I recently decided that I was going to build an E-bike. After alot of searches on the internet for information I stumbled across ES linked from another forum (you guys aren't easy to find). Wonderful things going on here by the way, excellent source of information and knowledge. You guys have...
