I an leaning towards one of Keplers excellent AFD systems and doing a bit of "due diligence" research.. so forgive me if this has already been discussed (point me to the answers) , or if i am asking a dumb question.
The kepler package is designed around an RC drive and ESC, but from reading around , it is apparent that these sensor-less drives may not be 100% suitable for these "traction" type applications, and require the attentions of technical expertise that i dont posses. I dont mind getting dirty and i like a challenge, but i do know my limitations on the electronics side of things :?
. There is much talk of "poor synchronisation" , gluing magnets, timing adjustment, additional heat sinks, installing hall sensors, DIY throttleisers, and frequent "magic smoke" from failed ESC's.
Now , i know nothing is perfect, and everything is a compromise ..ie, ( FAST, RELIABLE, CHEAP .... pick any 2 , because you cannot have all 3 at once !)..and i dont want a street missile, just a reliable, compact & lightweight , "hill assist"
.....but my question is basically :----can i expect to find a RC motor & ESC that will run a 1-2kW traction drive reliably without needing the Ebike equivalent of an F1 pit crew to set up and maintain ?? .... (and not generate expensive "magic smoke" ! :lol: )
IE, .. are these RC drives truly "plug and play" or can i expect to be on a steep learning curve ?
