Hey guys, I just ordered a slew of stuff from all the Black Friday discounts and have a direction question.
One of the boards I am building is for my wee lad, Jackson. He is just a little guy, loves to ride boards, weighs nothing, and I want to build him something in the 13 MPH range.
I am going to do something on a land yachtz Dinghy (28.5 x 8.5).
This isn’t a build post, just a general question. The board, “Secret Zooma” is going to be built with a FOCBOX, besides setting these parameters, How should I go about limiting the speed? , should I do a smaller battery (6s or 8s), or use a lower kv motor in conjunction with 10s?
Here is why I wonder… I am also doing some other 10s and 12s builds (no build threads yet… soon ), and am also doing this “Kid Build.”
I feel like it might be easier to have everything working off 10s (like some other builds I am about to start working on) with a lower (thinking APS 130kv) In order to limit speed. This way I can use one charger with other 10s builds I want to do instead of also buying an 8s charger.
But then again, if I build an 8s battery with low gearing a d 190kv motor, I could potentially upgrade his board later possibly a bit easier.
Damn you beer, I am rambling!!!
Bottom Line At the End:
10s3p 130 kv 6355 single 14/36 gearing 83mm wheels
or
8s4p 190kv 6355 single 14/36 gearing 83mm wheels
For my 7 year olds board, “Secret Zooma”
Thoughts??
I know it is essentially a high voltage vs higher amp question, but am wondering if anyone has any experience building quality stuff for their little ones. I want it to be good enough for the random full brown layman “grown up” to hop on as well…
