Well, since my old board was too weak, i decided to build a new stealthier one. the result is very nice, sadly i do not really have any pictures from building it.
I drove it yesterday and the acceleration quite gave me a grin, this is pure gold.
I don’t run 12s but yes, 20% more power I guess! Everyone is loving the 13s now too…
My cables run to the back and then loop back towards the enclosure along the deck. I 3d printed a little clamp to keep the cables in place. It’s fixed using the spare truck mounting holes.
I run the cables straight into the enclosure under the rubber seal.
ah i understand… sadly i already drilled holes for them… damn i think i need another option, shorten the cables maybe or split in the middle and then run to the side…
but going under the lip was not in my head.
i think i’ll stay with th 10S4P, the board is heavy enough i think this is the absolute maximum right now for me…
Just a note, your mounting holes are inside the rubber seal. If you can run some rubber inside them you will reduce the chance of dust or moisture getting in…
well, i thought about the vibrations and about the soldering to the battery directly. after shrink wrapping i can’t check the connections and since the bms is also inside the shrink wrap there is no way to test the voltage for each cell.
i drove about 500km with my first build and i never had a problem with my battery and bms soldering. no cable came loose nor a soldering joint got lost. but i checked the battery every now and then. my next build should ne vibration -“bulletproof”.
Well, i was not active for a long time, never found time because of many things. But today after burning 1 BesTech BMS because of ambiguous labelling, receiving of the 218mm TB Trucks… almost half of the price was shipping cost and some other things, i managed to set up a part of the BMS…
i am not really satisfied with the wiring, but man was i exhausted from today. i really hope the labelling of the BMS is correct this time.
