Hi, New member here from Essex UK.
I like to make stuff and learn along the way, heavily into RC, Cars, Drones, Boats.
Recently learning about re-winding brushless motors.
heres my little build using a 350w Hoverboard motor, drilled out one side and tapped to fit scooter, using a £12 bike ESC from chinabay and Hobbywing batteries 5200mAh 1p12s. only pulling 16a max so batteries and BMS are happy.
I did fit a second hub and ESC to front to get 2wd, but BMS wasnt happy below 50% battery, was probably pulling above 30A and is only rated 20A i think before BMS kicks in.
But the pick up was lovely! and the regen brake was quite good!
Next project is rewinding my spare hoverboard motor with thicker copper to hopefully handle more power... thats where im at so far, so any advice would be great!
original windings were 5x0.35mm strands about 15 turns i think AaABbBCcC...im wondering about 2x.0.9mm about 10T for some speed.
