Thanks Frank, i do like the idea of mounting the esc box directly on the motor mounts, less stress on the motor cables.
Do you have the bolt pattern of these place holder holes? This will avoid me eye balling them and my caliper probably doesn’t span enough (150mm caliper) I’ll probably need to get a new box, already poked the other one with a bunch of holes.
However i’ll have to disagree with you about the length of the sensor cables, these cable can probably be over a meter long before experiencing any parasidic effects. What’s annoying with these jst ph connectors, there’s no inline male headers, need to use a through hole connector to make an adapter. So having a good length for them makes things alot easier.
I understand what you mean, guess i can always open up the motor and solder some longer cables (yes yes, voided warranty, that’s why I can’t have nice stuff )
You can simply cut the cables behind the jst connector and solder longer cables to the wires. Easy! No need to open the motor. I would not open it! The PCB inside is sealed. You can also make an extension using a jst male connector. Not as nice but it works…
This is interesting, that means I would need to water proof the vesc. should be fairly easy, just inject a bunch of silicon inside the enclosure… but what to do with the receiver, hmmm
Almost finished the battery pack, @barajabali dude don’t know how you do it, it’s so much work. And i’m not even done, still need to isolate it properly, strain releive the sensor cables and wrap it all up
First ride, noticed that both motor mounts were loose… great, they came pre-assembled, 3hrs, 174725 screws later. All 4 grub screw weren’t tighten to the hanger.
Hope you used Loctide for the loose screws, otherwise they come loose again soon …
And tight them again after the first rides, the normaly tend to work in the hanger… ones they set they are bulletproof…
From my expierence you can forget about on soft/loose sand ! Even with highly deflated tires you dont have fun… needet some bigger tires with paddles
Basically you just use a zip ties and put them through the spokes and around the tire… Though, for drive wheel this might be a bit more difficult to do, depending on what sort of adapter plate each one of us got.
I’m actually going to do this for my mtb. But the plastic zip ties won’t last though since they’ll break easily. Someone suggested using stainless steel zip ties instead so I might go that route.

, I was only holding the camera. But I think he need some chain…
