Hey all,

I’ve been riding an ownboard mini KT for about a year and not ready to build my own yet but wanna get something I can upgrade to increase top speed at the expense of some torque. I’m thinking the M1 then swap to 100mm boas. If they’re too big I might resin print a custom wheel pulley with less teeth.

I posted in this thread about it, could you take a look and see what you think? https://electric-skateboard.builders/t/100mm-boa-constrictor-wheels/41532/632?u=shoyusha

Thanks for your help everyone, looking forward to joining this community.

that esc is no good yeah. I said their upcoming vesc. It will be v6 hardware based not v4.

check it out on torqueboards profile on esk8.news

8207

you can limit the amps in the software, it’s a vesc not just an esc

8208

thank you very much !! :+1:

That ESC says 50A continuous (but 240A max), and the motor is 80A max.

Doesn’t that just mean the motor could continuously run at 50A, but could do bursts of its max of 80A?

Are you saying the ESC wouldn’t be compatible with that motor, or that it’s just a bad ESC in general? :sweat_smile:

Thanks!

That esc is shit regardless of what the specs say. I would rather use it than a flipshit esc but that’s besides the point.

This is what you want:

I need help programming a vesc. It’s not working with my hoverboard motors. Thanks, hope that you can help😀.

yo, im making ez cheap board and i have problem, my bateries are being discharged by only one cell, (i have two 11,1V 3S 2700mah bateries, and after traveling like 300meters i hear that battery is low, when i checked it at home two cells were aroud 3,6V and last one was basicly dead (below 3V) how to fix?

8213

which batteries?

8214

two of these connected https://www.banggood.com/ZOP-Power-11_1V-2200mAh-30C-3S-Lipo-Battery-XT60-Plug-p-967264.html?akmClientCountry=PL&p=PW041611183930201706&custlixnkid=116443&cur_warehouse=CN

edt:ops it’s the 2200 mah one, but they are the same exept for mah’s (the ones i use are 2700mah each one)

8215

withy basically dead do you mean empty or like dead dead

8216

I managed to charge it but idk how it will work, Thing is that mainly one cell from 3 total is discharging so even if two other are 3,5V or smt it will not be usable cuz of that one which is discharging so fast, also one important question, if im gonna plug in 36V baterry will it damage 24V ESC or 24V motor?

8217

don’t do that, they both won’t like it but esc will probably die first

8218

well damn me, any good battery recomendations? :c (for 24V setup)

8219

Hola, me gustaria saber, si compro cualquier skate y trae ciertas baterias de x mh o capacidad Puedo ponerle otras baterias mas grandes o de mas capacidad para tener mas autonomia?? Gracias por adelantado. No tengo ni idea de electronica ni nada de eso. Pero si soy un manitas y cualquier cosa que vea puedo replicarla facilmente.

Use a butane crack lighter and some flux. Works like a charm

8221

I got a build I’m planning. Where is the right place to post about it? How do I post about it?

Hi,

I Build an electric skateboard with dual hub motors. Everything was working fine for a few days untill I started noticing vibrations that gotten worse in de spend of the day when I kept riding it home. Now the vibrations are really bad and some times the wheel cannot keep up to the other because of the vibrations.

Even when disconnecting the phase wires and just pushing the board or riding it with one wheel the motor keeps vibrating at random times. At verry high speeds it sometimes stops vibrating. Also when im not standing on the board and just let the motor spin freely to motors seems to work perfect with no vibrations at all…

I opened the motor up, bell seems alright and all magnets are tight and on the right place. Also checked the wires inside the motor and everything seems to be ok. I really dont understand why it’s vibrating this badly… Hopefully someone can help me, it would be really appreciated. I was having a lot of fun riding it but it didnt even last 3 days !
