So after building my first electric longboard I wanted to go further with an offroad board
My plan in a nutshell:
The electronics:
3x Turnigy 3S 5000mah 20C Batteries (9S)
2x VESC from @torqueboards
2x Alien 130kv 3200w sensored 6374 motor
Alien mini remote
The mechanics:
E-TOXX dual direct drive from @Nowind
Primo alpha 8inch tyre + primo/innova inner tyre
35° short mountainboard deck
Ratchet bindings all trom @trampa
2x MBS Matrix 2 Trucks
4x MBS Rockstar Pro Hub
MBS bearings
So the aims of this build are:
to have a lightweight, but powerful board
to test the motor mount
Please tell if if you can think of any improvements in price, weight or power. I chose 9S because the motor cannot handle more then 10S and I have these 3 batteries laying around, so no need to buy new ones.
don’t be fooled by the data that is listed.
A motor like this does not really care if you use 9S or 10S or 12S.
Current is the larger issue - so higher voltage will actually be beneficial since you don’t need the same current for the same power
You could also get one of the cheap racerstar motors from banggood: they are roughly 50bucks for 140kv and since they are 5065 they will be lighter than the 63mm variants
Obviously you will have some power limitations though cpmpared to the 6374
Nice that you start this build.
As i mentioned i used this motors for short time on 12S …
they screem a bit but Aliens are louder in generell compared to Turnigys IMO
Why not start with the batteries you got?
If its to slow you hook up a fourth 3S to get 12S !
So Bruno told me that as @maxid and @trampa mentioned the motor would work, but there is no warranty or things. He said the motors are not tested on 12S, so no guarantee from his side…
He should know that Voltage is not the matter. That’s basic knowledge.
Higher Voltage is better for the motor since you push less Amps at the same output power.
