    so I can run a cyclone 500w on up to 50v right??

    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...

    laser/waterjet cutting

    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 _____...

    what size drive belt?

    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

    Determining gearing and final speed

    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

    what size drive belt?

    Hi guys, just working through my 2 stage reduction and wondering what thickness belt i should use. Its just the first stage 63-64 230kv pushing 3500 watts with a 15 to 60 tooth gear down on 5mm htd belt. my question is will a 10mm belt be enough for a reliable drive?

    Determining gearing and final speed

    HI all, I was helping and fellow member and thought I would share this with all of you most of you don't need it but here it is. Take you kv rating and multiply by the volts you are running, lets say 170kv x 24v = 4080. Now you need your sprocket sizes, you will use this formula calculate...

    What is the medium cut like for accuracy, I think now i'm going to use collar bearings and grub screws to stop rotation

    laser/waterjet cutting

    to be honest I've used a circular saw with a wood wheel and it cut 10mm fine but i want it to look pretty, i could do this in a couple of hours on a bandsaw and pillar drill, but i want something i can show people that looks like it came from production. I have an all or nothing attitude if...

    laser/waterjet cutting

    yeah 12mm it is, the bearings for the shafts are 12mm as well. I shall cut out some more material where i can, if i'm going to get parts cut i will get other stuff to make sure its worth the money eg, lighting mounts, quick release battery box mounts, disk mounts for 200mm disks. all in i think...

    Hardtail downhill (New Project)

    I think headways are gunna be my choice, I'm over engineering the powertrain and still not sure if i should get a larger motor. I have a 6364-230kv at the moment, really don't know what to do.

    laser/waterjet cutting

    If I get them cut by jet its going to be side plates with cutouts for weight, frame clamps with cutouts, and a bash plate with a logo cut into it as well as a few lightweight "spacer bars". I shall get the design formatted in whatever code is needed for the machine, as i am no longer asking of...
