I wanted to keep the standard controller as a spare just in case. Their website does not actually list the board as a spare,

Hi can anyone help me out here? I have the 500 watt internally controlled one but am wanting to switch to an external controller. Cheers, Neo

Bump, how are you getting on?

I have read here somewhere that a stock 500w internally controlled cyclone can handle up to "50V" without modification, what i was plannning on doing was running 36v off some makita batteries i use for work just to get a feel for how fast it wold be. Please tell me if I will just let the magic...

LOL, polycarbonate might be strong enough but acrylic would probably shatter with the power i want to put through it

I think the best route should be to invest in a mill of my own. There are small "desk" mills available and some second hand larger ones that will probably be priced right for me, I'll probably add the computer control part myself as its cheaper but once it is up and running I could help out...

yeah you correct there, you can replace the bulb with a motor run capacitor and play with the values to get a fixed amperage pulse, it does make it a lot more efficient too. After treating an old 24v sla that i received drained down to 11v, it doubled the range of the scooter. another thing that...

Disclaimer: you should not try this, will result in death if not properly used!!!!!!!! Ohh reviving batteries, have you tried using AC Rectified through a full bridge and light bulb (60watt) then DC side into battery, it has saved a few sla's for me _____...

Hi guys, I would like a few opinions from the guru's, I have been looking at a few ebay controllers to run a scooter hubbie that i am picking up this weekend, as its my first I would like a cheap one that i wont be so mortified to fry. There are a few options that i have and i will list them...

Cheers Miles, these look pretty good, I don't want to be worried about the temps while i'm riding.

Cheers, whats the power like?

Hi all is anyone using this motor: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18184__Turnigy_Aerodrive_SK3_6374_149kv_Brushless_Outrunner_Motor.html I'm looking at one or two for my new project "NeoDrive". Any help guys I want to keep this pretty efficient.

That's pretty much what i was hoping to be able to do, I only have about 18mm workable space next to the motor on the first stage so a 15mm belt is perfect, now i just need to teach myself how to make pulleys and bearings in inventor. Neo

Ok my bad, i've added the units of measurement, this formula works as i use it on my arduino to calculate speed. Cheers for the input though that's what its all about. ,Neo

ha, i have thought about polycarbonate. I may now get them milled or routed, their looking pretty now
