top speed is only 13mph :( but the price and the look are not bad at all

BTW do you plan to change ESC to get braking abilities ?

Does the batteries stay connected to ESC while charging ?

Thanks Mantas ! your board looks very sharp ! I like the fact that you separeted the cells to gain ground clearance. (looks better too) How do you intend to recharge the batteries ? you have recharg plug in paralell going out the box or do you have to unscrew it ? Also does your board keep its...

I could use more info too :) Also do you plan to add braking capability to your board ?

Hi ! Can you give us more detail about your arduino setup ? Is it wireless ?

A bit more info about range. Just made 13km and i went from full charge to around 50% (a bit above 19v per pack) So i should be able to easily do 20/25km so 3 commute one a single charge for me which is nice :) Now im about to try new software from Bruno to fix my brake issue.

take 2 5s 5000mah batterie and make a series adapter. you save a bit on battery and a lot on charger. downside is you lose a bit of space, bit more weight and a bit of simplicity.

From what ive seen bruno's ESC is the best thing you can get. I estimate the range of my pack at 15km. I made 6km today will do 6 more tomorow and ill tell you how much is left. If i can get 3 times 6km (my commute to work) it would be awsome but 2 times was my goal so I dont have to recharge...

I took 2 of those : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8581 5s 5000mah 20c -30c burst. I expect 15km from them (in series)

yes but I have 2 times 5S I meant 21v each :) Also according to the iphone app i use my max speed is 35kph so far but im not sure how accurate that is. I dont think i went more that 2/3 of throttle, and that was uphill. BTW do someone know a good app to track speed and map it ? I use mapmyrun...

Second longer ride today including the steepest hilll I know. Went without issue still couldnt go full throttle even on that hill. My bushings are too loose ill get harder ones this week to see If i can go faster :) I made about 5km went from 20v to just above 19v so after rough estimation i...

yep frailey91, thats the hole i am talking about. Sorry if im not always clear, english is not my native language :) Sk8norcal has a point with max current from the battery but I never seen a battery pack below 20c and you should be good even if the max is 10c. edit: you are right, i don't...

on that photo (from beetbocks) http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s621/richard_bailey1/3a0ce47d17b6108fea25d884cebc1f0e_zps0f71ca5b.jpg you can see there is a space at the right. this space can be adjusted to get the belt tension you want. You are supposed to find the good fit and tighten the 4...

as i said few post ago i have single motor, cheapest hobbyking remote and all alien stuff. no cover for now but i dont like it that way.
