    Single 6374 motor with VESC - Temp problems

    I had similar problems with a friends board and a 6374. Switched from a car esc to a vesc and it lost lots of power. In the end we had to go from a 245 to a 190kv motor, and from 6s to 10s. The VESC doesn't like big amps - much over 70-80. Traditional ESCS allow a lot more through (my EZRun pro...

    I thought you were putting the files on Thingiverse. What changed your mind to sell them instead?

    Making the GT2b controller less sensitive

    The OP wants to stiffen the action of the throttle lever, not adjust the range or sensitivity. He just wants to make it harder to move by accident. Only two things can do this 1) using EXPO which the GT2B doesn't have. 2) adding something physically resistive - which would be very hard to do...

    MBS All Terrain 100mm All Terrain Flywheels

    If they perform anything like the standard "off road" elecrtric skateboard wheels.... Then the net result is buzzing feet from the vibrations and no discernable extra grip on loose dirt or mud. Too much power on such small wheels means traction on anything other then tarmac, regardless of...

    Battery connection scheme

    I want to help more but I just can't get round the colour conflicts. At a glance it looks right assuming the BMS is getting it's positive feed via the balance leads.

    speed controller and battery question

    I second that. If you have no technical knowledge, go with a car ESC

    Not blown away with increasing voltage

    Well it's as close as you can get without being scientific. We both weigh the same. Same boards, Same bearings, wheels, trucks. Same route, and speeds. Same surface. Almost the same motors - 6364 on 6s vs 6374 on 10s Zippy compacts on one, Multstar on the other (so higsly difference C ratings...

    I have had a bad experience with OllinBoard

    So you have decided they are "trolls" and they are "wrong". How did you come to those decisions? Who made you the judge of all things?

    Not blown away with increasing voltage

    We did a full to flat (both 3.3v-ish per cell) test today - lovely sunny day :-) 6s 24Ah (cheapo multistar packs) - I got 12 miles till flat (3.45 per cell at rest) 10s 8Ah (Zippy compact packs) - he got 8 miles till flat/lvc kick-in (around 3.3v per cell when measured at rest - prob climbed...

    It's an open forum. No one HAS to reply. Thread deletion is extreme censorship unless there is case for libel, which I can't see happening here.

    Not blown away with increasing voltage

    It is odd. When I tested it - I rode with the board's owner. We went the same route, similar speeds. He's definitely heavier on the throttle than me.

    Not blown away with increasing voltage

    I charged his 8000mah 10s pack today, from 3.7 volts per cell to full, with a brick style charger. I put a hobbyking watt meter in line and I put 7000mah in, which seems odd. Far more than I expected. It's looking like he'll only get around 6 miles on his 10s 8000mah setup. Was better at 6s...

    VESC cooling on longboard

    They have thermal cut off. It's configurable in the VESC sofware. When I was testing a board with the wrong gearing it kicked in a lot, slowing the VESC down.
