Hi! Finnaly I finish my first DD coversion. I used the MAD hubs. That has been the idea behind since the beginning of the group buy… Now only time will tell if they are gonna last. I designed to be reversable so in case I can come back to the original configuration.
Mad Fury 75Kv
The origin and designing
The production
Coming together…
Now need to wait for a day where is not raining to be able to test it.
Ciao
Ahahaha well then you have to see the second DD I am going to make it. Already designed but this time is from scratch. Simpler, but should be really strong if I can make it and pair it with the BullyDeck (integrated enclosure) I am making too then it would be suck a sick build… Looking forward.
Well Hummies hubs are really good. I don’t want compare it with what I am doing. This ones is like a private mods I made to try out DD in my style.
Funny story the only thing I am missing are the speed rings I ordered 1 month ago but still didn’t get it… I could make it on the lathe but too much work for a washer.
well metasurf has a 8mm axle longer an for all the truck length. I cut the 8mm part to like 5 cm (see picture) and then made an axle extention screwed on it to reach 12mm for all the truck except 15mm where the motor can is in contact with the axle. So basically is a 12mm axle along the all length. I wanted to be a conversion kit, that way this solution. Otherwise I would drill the motor and make it all the way 12mm. Plus the motor support it self since was design as hub motor. SO I basically use is structure and brought it closer to the center. Of course, only real test will tell us.
Thanks man, appreciate. yeh and I am still using the meepo hubs, really fun too. Then I got addicted to diy and spent time in learn machining more than making esk8. Now time to make real my designs
Went for a short ride to cut my hair… Little spam never reached there
Riding feeling way better with 4 full wheels and 97mm. The motors ride super smooth. But thst I already know since I have tried the MAD hubs as hub motors before. Set in FOC sensored. Really silent. The power is there. Initial torque less then the Meepo style hub motor since they are 90mm and 65Kv but still great torque. Compare to the 130Kv is like almost double. Speed in insane. Reached 45kmh but like immidiately, and you feel thst there is a lot left. In bench it reaches 60kmh. So I guess 54-56kmh possible.
All nice but then all of the sudden the board stopped and throwed me off. Fxxk! Smelled burn pcb
Mall grubed back to home (3 km) and found this
Not sure whether is the antispark switch that didn’t like the 12s and then killed 1 VESC or is the VESC itself. I hope it’s only one. Need to test it. I found 2 little stones inside the enclosure. Since I opened again after sealed probably I didn’t sealed right the last time. Can also be that the 2 stones caused the shorts and bye bye. Of course I just sold my spare vesc 6.6 last Wednesday… All right! I guess tests are postponed.
Yeh I knew it thst 12s is kit the best but I have been use it for the past 2 months before winter came. The problem is the VESC. Now I have to understand if it is only one or both.
