    HS3545 is better than you

    I was going to do a proper review but I am lazy. I just wanted to put this up because it is a wind that doesn't get much talk. I just put on a HS3545 (ie, NOT the HS3540 - the next faster wind), on a DH comp with Kiwi adaptors (26 inch wheels). I have it set up on 12S as it is my commuter bike...

    How many poles in a HS3545?

    Sorry if this is an stupid question or if it is on an existing thread, but I searched and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know how many poles there are on a HS3545 (not the HS3540, but the HS3545)?

    Seeking guidance from the electric preisthood

    I know I rarely venture into this respectable part of the forum, usually keeping my stained corpse in the Biker Bar. But I had a question I wanted to put out to the electric gurus on the forum. I have a pair of Bose earphones, which I managed to stand on the cord of whilst being attached to my...

    Warning to Yuba Owners - don't use large rotors

    Just posting this up for the safety of others. I was using a large 203mm rotor on my Yuba Mundo on the standard issue forks (bike is here: http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30679&hilit=+yuba ) I realise a lot of people will chime in with comments about using such a large...

    Waterproofing a Cycle Analyst

    I searched for a thread on this but couldn't find one, has anyone else had problems with water damage and their cycle analyst? I have now had two large screen CAs have problems from rain. One was understandable because it almost got submerged the rain was that heavy, but yesterday a different...

    What guage is the teflon hall wire in an X5?

    I tried searching this, but couldn't find anything. But before I order a bunch online, does anyone know what guage the teflon hall wires in an X5 are? Anyone have a suggested place to order from in Australia?

    Replacing Halls on an X5

    As I noted in the thread on the new X5404, I am now needing to replace a hall. Can anyone confirm for me the wiring into the hall? I was unable to determine the wiring attaching to my hall before I removed it (violently by accident because I am a clumsy moron). The other halls are covered in...

    The first smoked Cromotor?

    I don't speak Italian, and maybe this has been discussed elsewhere (apologies if so), but is this Esoria and those crazy Italian guys with the Cromotor? Looks like some magic smoke coming out of the holes? Certainly isn't sounding too good. Having said that I was scratching my head at some of...

    Question for the lipo gurus

    This is a question for the lipo gurus. My question is this, if you took two lipo batteries, and you discharged one to 50% of its rated AH used, then recharged, and did this 100 times. And you took another battery, and discharged it to 25% of rated AH used, and recharged, and did this 200 times...

    New CA displaying wrong voltage

    I recently got two new large screen cycle analysts. When I attach one to a new build it correctly displays the voltage of the pack at 50V, but when I attach the other one it shows the voltage at 45V. I have adjusted the Volt sense in advanced settings, and can now get the other one to correctly...

    CA behaving strangely after getting wet

    So day before yesterday I got stuck in a biblical downpoar, it was a full on flash flood. At one point I had to through an underpass and only half way through discovered it was over a foot deep. Got home and all was fine. I was actually commenting to my wife that I couldn't believe my bike had...

    Lipo not so dangerous....

    So this has added to all the personal positive experience that I have had with Lipo. Despite taking lipo cells to below 2.5v and then charging again (no problems other than swelling) - they got damn puffy don't worry about that, but I disposed of them at that point. But look at this. My 12S...

    Using serial cables for balance charging

    I have seen a few folks using what look like printer serial cables to achieve a one plug solution for balance charging lipo (ie, they have all the balance wires and the two charge wires put into the serial plug, so they just plug one plug in for balance charging. I think the members I saw doing...

    Chain Reaction Cycles Free Shipping & Discounts

    This may be old news to most but I just found Chain Reaction cycles are doing a special currently of free shipping and discounts (eg $50 AU off if you spend $300 AU or more). This is particularly attractive to Aussies, as Chain Reaction do great prices compared to what we normally get out here...

    Magura throttle on a 24 Fet Lyen/infineon?

    Hi guys, I am looking to connect a Magura throttle to a Lyen 24 Fet controller. I have found a few threads on connecting Magura throttles, but each one has differing recommendations. The most reliable I have found is one thread where Aussie Jester says he was successful with a 1K resistor on...

    Review: 1200W bulk charger from BMS Battery

    I ordered one of these from BMS battery for bulk charging my 20S4P lipo: http://www.bmsbattery.com/alloy-shell/29-alloy-shell-1200w-lifepo4li-ionlead-acid-battery-ev-charger.html I ordered it on 19 October, and it arrived today on 3 November. It was very well packaged, was delivered by DHL...

    organising a group discount with HK

    I don't know if this has already been discussed before (I am sure it has), but it occured to me the other day that the ES community must be a pretty decent customer for Hobby King. I realise the RC community is massive, and we are a small drop, but I also think not many RC enthusiasts would by...

    Replacing halls on a BMC V3

    Has anyone replaced halls on a BMC V3? I have searched the forum but can't find anything. I have replaced halls before on a 9C, but they are pretty straightforward, with the BMC there is a circuit board that sits over the three halls, I can't work out how you could get away with replacing only...

    Question about programming infineons with parameter designer

    I have a mate who is running 12S, on a 12 Fet controller (Lyen, programmable), currently programmed at 40amps, running a 9C 9x7. He wants to get some more top speed, apart from changing wind/wheel or adding more volts, is there anything in terms of programming his controller he can do to...

    Tell me what I want to hear about my Lipo

    So I just wanted to get the thoughts of the battery gurus, more for my own peace of mind that I am not being reckless, so please tell me all will be good and I can go ahead as planned. I am putting together a 12S 40Ah pack for my Yuba Mundo, being made up of 10 Zippy 6S 8ah bricks. I got my 10...

    Real world experience with Zippy 8ah packs

    Don't scream at me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I searched and couldn't find it. I probably should have posted this before I ordered 10 of them, but has anyone tested how accurate/realistic the 8ah rating is on the zippy 30C 8ah packs are? I have bought ten of them to build a 12s...

    Philistine's Yuba Mundo Station Wagon

    So I had been running two (at least working) builds, one a Greyborg, with 20S@40amps, and a Commuter bike (Giant) with 10S@40amps, and when I wanted to move my two older kids (4 and 2) around I was using a two child trailer. I was never that comfortable with the trailer, both due to handling...

    stupid question about Meanwells

    With all the people who current mod meanwells to bulk charge Lipo, wouldn't it be better to get one of these chargers: http://www.bmsbattery.com/alloy-shell/28-alloy-shell-900w-lifepo4li-ionlead-acid-battery-ev-charger.html I realise this one is only 900W, but they sell them up to 2kw, and as...

    I am a moron

    Edit: (for full disclosure, the title of this thread has been edited, but I will keep all text as it was, to give context, I mistakenly had a 5S charging configuration in mind, when I was actually charging as 10S - so I was charging outside spec). My recommendations pro or con for this PSU are...

    Lipo - gape that cell

    So unlike a lot of people on this forum, I am not a pussy about Lipo. I say if it is going to go bang, lets smash fists and get this shit on. So I have a little lightweight travel pack rolling, 10S2P, sporting it on a little Giant hardtail. Unfortunately one night after too many beers at the...
