    Are you going to sell that pack? What settings did you use for the ESC to work with that pack? Same as for the space cell?

    FVT Settings and cogging issues - Fixed, solutions & stuff.

    Hello Vince, I never got the card to work with that ESC but I also gave up because it did work with the PC software version. I cannot recall if there was anything particular sign that shows it was successful tho. I know it worked from the PC because I set it to forward and brake instead of...

    Wiiceiver / ESC / UBEC - Wiring HELP!!!!

    hi, I tried with another UBEC but it still gets hot after a few minutes. The component I circled in white is the one starting getting hot and after a while the whole unit gets hot. I have been told it is not normal for this to happen, anyone has any idea what I did wrong there?

    Flycolor HV ESC120A 5-12S Anyone tested that?

    Hello, I totally forgot to report. As torqueboard said, the price they displayed wasn't real so I did not try to purchase it. I went with the FVT 12S esc and as a matter of fact, I am currently soldering the comnectors to it. Sorry for letting this thread I started dying.

    Chinese Hub Motor

    That's a good point, I was going to sacrifice those trucks but maybe I should try to do as advised by the tutorial first. I bought the thing so I am trying to stay positive and make it work now.

    Chinese Hub Motor

Once...

    Chinese Hub Motor

    The stator does have a lot of poles, unfortunately I did not take the time to count yet. Also, it seems like it has some black coating on the wires. I think I will try that loctite method first and not go too fast to see if they stay in place. For the price, I paid around US$300 for the 2...
