I donāt know anybody running 320A, but yeah, thatās what youād need to max out those four of those motors.
Any battery cell will have a cont discharge rate in C-rating or Amps. C rating is C*ah=A, so a 5000mah lipo w/ a 5C rating should be good for 25A continuous.
IMO, you want a battery that can pump out at least 30A x 4 continuous for your setup (20 x 4 @ the ESC might be enough for you 5HP aināt nothinā), as there are benefits to going higher even if you donāt use all the amps (less sag and more longevity, at the cost of more weight/size/cost).
A good example is a 12S6P 30Q pack. A 30Q cell is rated at 15A cont, but is known to operate just fine at 20A. There are 6 parallel groups in the pack, so you multiply a single cells amperage by that and get a total of 120A. Youād also multiply a single cellās mah by 6 to get the total packs capacity. 18AH, which might get you 25mi of range.
Since you need more amps to drive more motors, but you benefit in generating less heat w/ more motors, a 12S3P 30T pack might suit you. Itās a smaller pack, so your board wonāt weigh a ton, but it still has enough discharge to scoot those motors along, and 9ah would still get you 13mi of range.
Also, wanted to ask whether enertionās e-tray with bms included is suitable for such a large battery (12s6p), I wasnāt able to find conclusive info on it.
Hello everybody,
I have got a AT-09 Bluetooth module for my VESC 4.20 and I cant get any data from it. I have changes the app to use from ppm to ppm + UART and changed the baud rate to 9600. the module connects but then doesnāt show any data. one thing that was strange was that once I connected my phone to the module and then TCP linked my phone to my PC it showed some data? I am very confused, any thought will be greatly appreciated!
So new to the forum and kinda curious as to what to even begin to look at to begin building or researching into buying my own electronic board. Also in the market for mountain board or something to ride on my dirt road(I live in a small country town) and still wanna get out and experience a longboard ride when I canāt go to the asphalt of my closest towns (12 miles)
First time caller, long time listeā¦Wait, thatās not right. But brand new to the forum and this is my first post, so thanks in advance for any help! Iāve been reading and researching for a few months now, and have experience building and repairing circuitry and electronics. I will eventually do a complete build, but without a spot welder and lacking riding experience, I decided to start with a built board. I have a Verreal RS with 120mm Cloudwheels floating on the Pacific Ocean somewhere, but Iām curious about the potential for modding at some point. Iām a big guy at 6ā2 and 260, so Iāve been stressing about board performance and what to expect. Iām in Portland Oregon, so will be riding mixed terrain and grades often. So the basics are as follows: dual 6368 170kv motors with 45T wheel pulleys(due to my weight) and a 30Q 10s4p pack. While Iām sure the Hobbywing ESC will be fine to cut my teeth on, I like the idea of VESC customization at some point. My question is, if I do get to a point where Iām not happy with top speed and torque, would I damage anything by swapping in a Flipsky or similar dual VESC? Also, any issue with experimenting with larger motors on the existing Hobbywing, say 6374s? Like I said, until I am able to experience the board, I wonāt know if and what Iāll want, but just wanted to know what is possible. Thanks in advance!
You will probably be underwhelmed by the verreal eventually. It really depends how experienced you are on an skateboard. If youāve never ridden on its probably a great starting point as youll be learning so many new skills it will be overwhelming and exciting.
Vesc based motor controller is definitely the best way to go when you want to start upping the ante. In theory you can drop that into vereel without any issueās. Might need a new remote though as the reciever is probably integrated into the esc.
Thanks so much for the reply! I skated and snowboarded most of my youth, but never got into long boarding, so I think it will be a fun experience for sure. Any recommendations for the VESC? Flipsky, Unity? For a beginner, would 4.20 be adequate? Just thinking about cost, and I wouldnāt think my 10s would consistently spike over 50 amps.
hello, i have an Evolve GTR. i want to add Trampa 8" AT tires and their superstar hubs. Does anyone know what else i need to purchase so they can fit on my GTR board? thank you
Iām in the middle of my build. I made two buy passes with MBoards. First I bought the drivetrain (Direct Drive, kegel adapters, Orangatangs, trucks). Then a second pass for everything else: (10s3p, hobbywing dual, plastic enclosure, some hardware). Iāve had no problems at all - even shipping during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mike is very transparent (Mike Beard = āMBoardsā). He is completely open and accessible. Iāve hit him up with a bunch of questions on Instagram. He has always replied within a couple of hours. Watch some of his older videos. He admits starting a company is not an easy thing. Heās learned a ton about part vendors, shipping, the supply chain, inventory levelsā¦ All things about a skateboard business that have nothing to do with skateboarding. His successes and failures are all in his videos. Like I said very transparent. I think heās in a good place now and think heās really out to help anyone build their own board.
