To get more range you need to change/add to the battery. Not sure what “5000 mah 5s x2” is but I’m guessing its Lipos. You need another VESC for dual motors. and if you expect to draw some current without voltage sag you’re going to need a beefier battery on a dual setup.
You could take 2 new 5s5Ah to your already 10s5Ah (I guess), you make another battery pack and cnnect them in // to get 10s10Ah and you double the C rating
Thanks for the fast reply Riako and linsus. And yes the C rate will be the same.
I think I will just add new batteries for now, and I will see in the summer how it does uphill. I remember it sucked uphill so haha maybe another engine later
Sorry if I sound like an angry EMO but its an electric MOTOR. An ENGINE is something else.
Think you’ll notice a big difference with twice the amp(assuming you have something like 6374 size that can handle it), if you still struggle in hills then yes another motor would probably be nice.
No worries, totally understand. I would be a angry emo if I were asked these questions in a niche I knew a lot in. But ohwell, you guys helped me a lot , so thanks. I was thinking about adding batteries, but was worried the vesc would break dont know why …
As you can see from the picture you posted, Its not twice the C rating from doing a two 15C parallel. 10Ah x15 = 150A (cont) and 10Ah x30 = 300A (peak).
Finally !!! Thanks a lot for highlighting the solution I had in front of me !! I wanted to understand why I’m thinking this since the beggin and nobody correct me during the last 6 years
