Hi there. I’ve been lurking on this forum for a while and I’ve recently created an account. This will be my first E Board and I’m not sure if all of these parts will work together.
I’d say the higher C rating the better so the compact 6s 40c look pretty nice, you would be able to use a slimmer enclosure with 2 3s packs in series though.
Depends on rider weight, gearing ratio, riding style, motor, voltage and a number of other things. A safe estimate would be around 6-7 miles I would say.
It’s mostly your choice. The turnigy motor is slightly bigger and I think it would have a little more power. However, the DIYES motor will fit your motor pulley much easier. It’s up to you in the end though, they will both work.
I totally agree with @Smorto Get the highest C rating you can.
Going with the 40C over the 25C batteries should substantially reduce voltage sag that would rob you of power and range.
And speaking of range, with 5000mah at 6s your only going to see somewhere around 5-7 miles range. Depending on your weight and riding conditions.
you would do well to get 2 of the 40C 6s packs and run them in parallel for 10K mah That would get you around 10-14 miles depending on your weight and riding conditions. And it would reduce voltage sag even more.
No, you won’t need a Bms if your using a hobby balance charger.
Just be careful when riding that you don’t over discharge your batteries.
Mounting your voltage meter on or through the top of your deck so you can see battery voltage while riding or using low voltage alarms is a good idea.
I will also need some xt-90 connectors and some wire right. Anything else. What gage wire would I need. Do you have any recommendations. Thanks in advance. Sorry for asking so many questions
There is no charger that would do 12s to my knowledge you would have to have them series then take them out and charge them separately with a six 6s charger. The highest charger I could find is a 8s and I am selling one on the forum. Or get a 12 bms.
