hey Vanarian, I wondered where you would be in your build and came to see your post. that's some nice ideas and renders on your dec 2020 update. Hope you can prototype these because I want to see some videos of it. in 2021 I will be coming back to building electric inlines, but going for a...

For that kind of distance and road, it might really be better to get a small wheel ebike. if money is not a problem, there's the brompton electric. 16 inches wheels and the smallest fold with a lot of cool accessories to make your life easier. Not lightweight though, but it rolls when folded...

Ok, I couldn`t find anything on the internet neither on the forum about this particular issue. Whats happening: When there's no load on the motor (ie wheels up in the air) and you try to go full throttle or even just around 60~70% the vesc freezes, blink the red LED 3 times and resets, after 3...

Any news on the case? I'm about to buy new VESCs and would like to know if the issue got resolved before buying. thank you.

@mccloed can you post here the link where you bought that VESC? so we can try same vendor or avoid it if something goes wrong.

What would be a good voltage per cell to monitor IF we don't have the BMS with the battery? I've been using 3.3V to cutoff. So in a 4S battery would cutoff at 13.2V. So far so good, but I don't want to test hundreds of times to see if something will go wrong. I agree that a BMS inside adds this...

Didn't know BMS would require to be plugged in a specific order, I mean, they are designed to be soldered to the battery. even then, It might be worth lets say to put a 9-pin JST and a 2 wire coaxial plug that already comes with the bricks usually.

Not really, RC chargers are programmable. You have to input how many cells, how many amps, balancing or quick charging etc. You have to carry the brick AND the charger. What I'm asking is what if you get a true plug and play solution for your specific project. Just plug in the wall and into...

Anyone doing these and selling them? want to avoid messing with ordering all the parts and putting it together myself. Want to focus my time in other things, but I do need switches.

So, my project is a little tight in space. Just like Vanarian I'm building electric rollerblades, but thought it might be useful for everyone as it would save money for everyone IF it works. Since VESC has discharge protection, we don't need the BMS for riding, only for charging. My idea for...

Nice! I want to get me one of those as well. they seem a lot more fun than normal longboards. waiting for a video and in-depth review please.

I'm interested in that bypassing idea so you can use a 5A BMS instead of a 100A BMS making it much more affordable. Does anyone have a full diagram of this bypassing AND the wires to the battery, esc and battery? I'm kinda confused, could be because its 2am though. Gonna try and sketch...

I've seen the heatsinked VESC on alibaba as well. it might increase durability if it's properly done. problem is if they downgraded mosfets to actually need heatsink.

thx a lot. I bought mine from Ollin, but he charged me 45 dollars just for the shipping. if I have to send it back to him to get fixed it's going to get almost as expensive as a new one. living in Japan has its downsides.

that would be great mccloed, please let us know. I fried one of my VESCs and need 3 more, and don't have the money to buy them at 200 dollars a piece.
