Yo, i’m from Germany and i’m about to start ordering parts for my build. Since this is the first build i would appreciate your help, guidance and opinions. It will hopefully be similar to @Eboosted, @pyttroll and @whitepony builds. I am looking for atleast 30km/h and hopfully around 30km range on charge. If you could just tell me how to achieve it, that would be great .
My limit is under 700€.
Keep in mind that i’m 1,78cm and i weight 61kg.
Please don’t get a maytech VESC and support some of our more established brands. Also don’t use 25R cells but rather 30Q. No idea if the pulley fits to the motor - it is all in chinese. Did you account for VAT you’ll have to pay?
I said Samsung 30Q - if you have the money go for HG2. With VAT a Maytech VESC will not be much cheaper than a European one.
Cheapest Anti Spark you can find is esk8.de’s for 28€. Or get a XT90S. BMS is not necessary with quality cells and a proper charger.
Alien Sells Both, I choose maytech, and everybody says that Foc is better with Hub Motors, because with normal motors u can burn your Vesc, but lets not hijack this post
@Maxid Thanks, i found the batteries and XT90S. But are you saying i should run the build without BMS? If so, how is it done? sorry, its a noob question
If you cells drift, you could easily recharge them individually, but if the solder job is good they won’t drift at least not as much.
You can also replace the antispark switch with a loop key, it won’t ever brake and people seam to be very hhappy with it, from my personal opinion I like antispark switches, with their fancy blue circled light and perfect finish.
Cells will self balance in parallel but not in series. Without a bms, you would have to charge each parallel group separately to get the whole pack balanced.
With the antispark switch you just press a button or switch to turn on the battery, with the loop key you plug a connector on the battery and might hear or see a small harmless spark as you plug it, in order to turn off the battery/e-board just remove the loop key.
@Eboosted I think i will be going with the anti-spark switch, thanks.
Also thread was updated with some specifics about my desires with range and speed (>30km/h and 30km range), and a second option with motor and battery.
The bench wheel remote is supposed to be pretty good and much stealthier than the mini remote.
Which is a big deal in Germany with esk8 being illegal.
If you want cheap motors you can just get some from banggood - they are pretty good.
Yes BMS is not necessary - you can build your pack with “split” balance cables so that you can use a 6S RC charger to balance them from time to time and use a 10S charger as your regular charger.
But honestly I don’t want to support a Maytech build - so others should try and answer your questions.
