    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...

    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

    I am not sure if I really need to drill through the axle, after looking again at the pictures in the tutorial the seller gave me and if I understood correctly, I have to drill the silver part of the truck (sorry don't know the name of that part) and make it the other half for the set screw. 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...

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    Hi, it might be a stupid question but this is my first experience with 3D printing and because I don't own a printer I am going to pay some 3D printing company to make this for me. Most of the companies I found online ask what is the unit used (centimiters, millimeters or inches), I tried to...

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

    Hi, FVT replied to my email and they said they do not have any custom program for EV at the moment. They might make one if they receive requests from many other customers. Do you still have a copy of the one you are using? I would like to try it. I am using the HK-GT2B, but I do not yet know...

    Hi, Thanks your replies, I will keep trying to connect it although I tried both ports. Maybe it will also work out like yours did so I can try the settings while I wait for FVT to reply to my email about the EV specific program that Groper mentioned. I agree that the acceleration is quite...
