    Dave's 80:1 RC mid drive kit build log

    I was hoping the side plate arrived today. I'll be busy all day tomorrow, but I have Friday off. So my plan is to test ride Friday with everything. As far as the A200, I ordered that back in July. At least I got a email saying it's awaiting shipment. So I'll at least get to test the talon...

    On the 42nd tOoth. Might need a few more links going from 25-42t

    I ordered one of the v1.3 ones. Hopefully I'll see it by the end of September. I like that you can change modes on the fly and run fully charged 14s. Plus they have bt modules so you can use Android/apple watches and monitor data real-time. I plan to run it in FOC. So quieter plus with the...

    I am looking to relocate my controller and am wondering if the standard 8 awg wiring for the kit is suitable for extending the three cables from the motor to the controller or if something more heavy duty is required to handle phase currents as the motor cables are much stiffer due to a heavy...

    Do you include a grease kit with the initial purchase for the 100m grease swap?

    So apparently my rear derailleur the Shimano Saint Shadow Plus, RD-M820 Doesn't fit a 42t cassette. It says maximum 36t. I tried to install the 42t with the derailleur but it hits the 42t sprocket. You think 36t is enough torque for big hills? Or should I try another alternative?

    Thanks, I'm hoping it makes a nice ebike since I don't have much actual downhill in El Paso. I fiddled with the graph, added MPH for myself. I'd like for someone to take some actual numbers to see what percent difference losses in motor efficiency take place. We have already seen the drive...

    I ran Evans waterless coolant in my dirt bike. Race bikes with no fans get hot in Hawaii. Never boiled over again with Evans.

    It does look crazy. I'm on his list for the second batch of 20. Mostly I just want to see if I can burn up some eskate motors.

    And with Bluetooth modules you can change settings via cellphone. Even monitor stats on iwatch/Android Wear. The current issue with electric skateboard size ESC I think is everyone wants more output but are limited by space. Most boards barely fit 12s5p or less even. So that limits output to...

    What kind of output current for a VESC are you looking for? I've been keeping track of what's currently available and what's coming up.

    Can I get a few recommendations for a DH bike which will fit the motor inside the frame without ("much") modification. I've read through this entire thread a few times but maybe someone would have picked a different bike having had to do it over again. Looking to spend 2-2.5k for a used bike...
