It seems wrongly advertised to me with the up to 60v compatibility while simultaneously stating 50a continuous. I’m not saying I expect it to be a Focbox or Flipsky 6.6, but it seems this box doesn’t like to run much above 38a at 9-10s.
I’m just saying I think they should change their claimed specs, leave the price.
The caps on this 4.20 are the same as their single 6.6. People have been saying good things about the 6.6. Their single 4.12 is good too. So not sure what they changed to make this dual 4.20…
The single 4.12 has 3x 680uF so has more than the total of the dual 4.2 on a single.
I should clarify that I have added 4x 470uF capacitors close to the FSESC as the negative battery cable is quite lengthy in my setup. runs nearly the completed length of the wheel base.
I have not tested whether the board acts differently with less capacitors at 38 amps.
My experience is that BLDC needs a push to start but FOC stutters slightly and then starts moving.
But I am 240 pounds and when my brother who is closer to 180 pounds rode the board with my old setup of a single 4.12 in BLDC he was able to get the board moving from a complete stand still with no cogging at all.
so weight is a huge factor.
I know adding sensors will make it a hell of a lot smoother but have not had a chance to use sensored motors as yet. although I have 2 here waiting on my next build.
Hehehehehe they should You gave them good review and they are using it on their website.
They shouldn’t expect that some one will order it for science. @BarbaraZ are you the right person to make it happen?
Hi Noob here, I’m waiting for mine to arrive. Questions, is the rf receiver for the remote built on to the board or will I have to buy a flipsky remote with chip? Or can I just buy the receiver chip by itself as I have a couple of those remotes from my wowgo/ meepo days.
Lastly what size jst connectors are used for the hall sensors, number pins and pitch etc? Want to connect esc to wowgo hubs.
Thanks
Thanks for getting back. So my only option is to buy the flipsky remote that comes with the rf module? I was hoping to avoid buying direct to China as cost and import charges to UK seem pricey. Do you know if the remote and rf be picked up in the EU?
Thanks again. Though remotes aren’t the problem. I have a few, it’s that I just want the rf reciever only.
Lastly do I have to buy an anti spark switch to power the vesc on and off? Excuse my ignorance this is my first build and I’m coming from a wowgo board where everything is already on the esc
