@torqueboards What voltage and gearing did you run on single drive? Was this on your 230kv motor? I’m gonna try dual drive soon, and dual hubs, but I really want to sort out my single drive issues first.
And that’s interesting that you burned up the motor doing this. My motor isn’t going past 110-120°F in the windings, but the esc heatsink is hitting 170-180°F+, all on about 1-2 easy miles. So, if there’s excessive resistance or amperage, it seems to be mostly confined to the esc.
Hello everyone! A topic about what is the real amp draw / current needs for a system surfaced on another topic.
It may not be exactly what this topic is about, but I thought it is related, so someone in the future reading this, might find it interesting.
So, gladly @DeathCookies made a simple template for everyone to enter their data into.
Any feedback / improvements would be great, as I think it is still possible to be changed and should be improved.
Poll for entering Amp draw data:

Feedback can be posted here: http://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/custom-poll/6171
if you see ‘‘1’’ after the index.php in the link, delete that ‘‘1’’ and it should go. Link should look like this:

Dunno why that happens
Original discussion / idea about creating such thread started here:
Link to the poll doesn’t work for me.
EDIT: It works now.
How does Boosted do what they do with their different speed modes?
I’m new to this hobby and I’m not yet comfortable going full speed (28mph?) 20-22 is roughly where I chicken out and slow back down. I would love to be able to max my speed to let’s say 20 with a button and at the same time not fry anything
Easiest thing to do is just limit it by feel. Only throttle when you want to go faster, otherwise just coast.
