a little of both if you really want to ride that fast…
but keep in mind efficiency goes way down as speed goes up! so at 20-30mph you can still get >80%. but 30, 40, 50 becomes more like 70, 60, 50% ( just estimate)
also I would look at lower kv. less gearing.
and use the 12s flier esc which has been proven by many more riders/builders.
or maybe a directvesc4 from ollin. because how often will you really max out? 30-40mph is plenty!
Okay! Soooo what would you say is an ideal KV for let’s say hitting atleast 40mph? (I’m a speed junkie)
I thought 50 is pushing it… I don’t want to wipe out and die lol BUT I will look into those ESCs!
let me do some math. but I know @longhairedboy can get near 35mph with dual 190kv, 12s, 100mm mbs wheels.
so with 8"/9" pneumatics and the right gearing I think you can get to 40! just make sure the rubber is rated for this type of speed. forces are much different from 20-40…
now it all makes sense. everything is bigger in texas? lol
Sweet! I’m going to look into his build! And if the KV is to low on a motor and while trying to push them to higher speeds would there be a potential problem with over heating??
I would honestly advise against the nano-x controller, there have been quite a bit of buzz about it not being all that great.
You’re better off getting the mini remote from diy, that’s been proven to be solid.
Or get the gt2b with one of the modded cases, also a rock solid controller, but requires a bit more work.
The last thing you want at >40mph is your controller freaking out on you.
30mph is fast in my opinion. I don’t even try to go that fast anymore. But it’s partly cuz I’m just getting too old for it.
20 mph is plenty fast enough for me now.
Did you go 30 on a MTB or street board?
I’ve never ridden an MTB myself, they just look a lot less stable to me.
It was a street board a buddy of mine made. I have the inboard M1 which as of now goes 20mph max and we’ll ride but his tops at 30mph and that I thought was ridiculous! But then I took it for a spin and now I crave speed… but I chose to get for a MTB cuz out here in Texas we got more land than road lol Plus I have my M1
Took me a while to get sucked in man… lol I was like nah but just watching people on them tearing up the dirt just had me staring like duddeeeee I have to get my hands on one lol
BUT! I’m open to ideas! Any suggestions?
