Trying to find a goto single ESC now that @onloop canceled FOCBOX production.
Also the small size of this specific unit allows me to decide whether to convert some single drive 6374 skates to dual drive 5065 which is more reliable.
Maybe. Just testing things out. I got two to try.
If either fails, I wonāt be getting any more and will try something else, maybe something based on VESC 6.
Bumping this question, just because Iām still interested in the answer as it means I can look for the correct standoffs (if the built-in ones are removable, that is).
sorry for the late reply, yeah you should be able to swap them out and print a case for them. not sure what design you are going for but I guess either a full nut spacer and a long screw going through with a regular nut on the bottom side would be an option, or if height is an issue you could use the printed case itself as the nut spacer in order to not have a nut sticking out on the bottom side. just keep in mind that there are components real close to some of the the screw holes in the pcb.
they are using m3ās btw and I pmād a boatload of pictures as I did not want to clog up the thread.
Haha yeh I got them, was a little worried when I saw all the notifications! Thanks those pictures will be great!
I plan to keep the heatsink etc as it is now, but I want to mount the entire VESC to a case using the current bolt holes, so I would just change the current spacers for ones the same height, but which are hollow so that I can screw a short bolt up from the bottom of the case and up into the bottom of the vesc and into the standoff.
Once I make it Iāll post it up here so you can see what I end up with
Thanks again for the pics, theyāre going to be a lot of help
Just got my new 4.20 plus yesterday, do you guys reckon that it will run fine with with foosted built? Iām planning to use 40a max/min for motor and 20a for battery maxā¦
You can up motor max to whatever you want as long as the motors and vesc can handle it. The battery max is what you need to be careful about, it shouldnāt be more than 30a per esc
It looks as if one can only order a minimum of five thousand of those resistors, and thereās an 8 week lead time on them. Maybe Iām missing something, but thereās got to be a better way to get the resistors I need?
Additionally - I noted in the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A8nzc24Mzw) that the person doing the work, mentioned the soldering iron wasnāt very hot - āabout 340 or soā is it safe to assume thatās C and not F? My soldering station is adjustable up to almost 900 degrees F and I donāt want to accidentally damage other components if my iron is too hotā¦
