I would like to hear your thoughts on my second ESK8 build. I have a last decision to make which you can read about in the end
first of i use
30X LG HG2 from Aliexpress for a total of 87.5 dollars, (and yes i checked they are original cells) they will be used in a 10S3P config (https://goo.gl/1WdVAD)
2x Maytech VESC putted together with 2 large caps instead of 6 small (166 dollars, bought from friend)
2x 3d printed motor mounts with reinforced inner (steel rods)
Then my dilemma is what kind of board and trucks i should buy. I have thought of a Trampa board with trucks, but they are really expensive, so i found the TorqueBoards 218mm trucks, but then i just need to find a deck.
Dude, get a real mount for 20$ or pay the hospital bill and suffer for a month or two, is it really worth risking it with using fucking plastic for something that carries your around
I know the plastic mounts work i have used them for over 100km on my single motor board. So its no problem just as long as you know how to print it and how to reinforce it
You asked for advice and everyone is advising against 3d printed mounts, that seems like a no brainer to me, but if you are that confident in the strength of your 3d printed mounts why not make some 3d printed trucks as well? I mean if you reinforce it properly it should be good
The amount of torque that those motors will be putting out just to spin up (and brake) such a large wheel like that will likely stress the mounts too much to the point of failure over time, it might not happen for 200km but I’m willing to bet sooner or later it will, if reinforced 3d printed mounts were reliable you would probably see them everywhere
Could be, but I would imagine trying to print something in that material would cost just as much as buying a proper mount, that’s stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime lol
The size of the wheel should not matter as long as the drive systems is adjusted. I have as said used a single drive system with a 6374 motor and new used more than 700W on my 2200W setup. Why do you think 2 motors would stress the motors so much? I will not be using the board offroad or in the woods its not made as an mountainboard
Bigger wheels=Bigger rotating mass, the gear drive setup simply dictates your top speed and acceleration but larger wheels like that will most definitely draw more amps on startup and require more torque, torque that is directly supported by your motor mount
