I would Give your mini torch a go. I use a plumbers torch most times. Just hot to the touch. Some times just a bit of heat on a alloy part will free it. It will grow three times what the steel will and also heats much faster. On thread direction, the cutouts will allow you to see at least the first ...

There is enough thread visible in the cut outs to verify the thread direction. From here it appears to be left hand. Make sure before beating on it. Use a heavier hammer and a sturdier punch. Warm the alloy spider with a torch or heat gun and quench it with penetrating oil or water and let cool. If ...

Metal bike frames are very easy to reshape - modify (DENT) where and if needed. Just lay a hammer handle at the spot and hit it with a soft blow type hammer. BB shells on them are relatively thin so fitting into motor gap should be of little concern. Would be great is you could get one offset crank ...

There are many threads on throttle choices. Do a google search of the site to best find them. If your add a CA (Cycle analyst) you will have some control over throttle ramps which help greatly. I have a sabvoton 72150 on my GNG 450. Much like the small block with surface mount magnets. It has never ...

LMX was running something very much like I am building. Mine will be both a floating type disc and sprocket mounted to a hub suitable to accept 5.25 BC kart sprockets and common Avid disc that has been removed from its hub. Belt does have a bit of latitude on chain line. Agree that the solid mounted...

Could the smallest available brake rotor fit inside the mounting plane of the sprocket? You won't need a lot of braking force if you use regen to do most of the work then modulate with friction brakes. I believe you can. You still need to pocket out the center of the sprocket hub to clear the calip...

I would not assume it is just programing. These can charge above 55v with the wet batteries. I have not pulled it apart to check cap values. With regen - slide braking as programed, you want a bit of head room.

Not sure if they program a high voltage cut off but would tread softly. I know from experience that you can run it near dead with the wet batteries. Sevcon lists a size 6 in 36 -48 volt and 72 - 80v models. The 36- 48v which is most likely in them has a 69.6v max listed.

Here is a LTR build that was on FB. Looks to clear well. https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/131924362_5476309789061160_2095480070313512664_o.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=2&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=ffDp2cBB7C4AX_xAAor&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=f774a51a5fe211e49f557688d3a3551a&a...

Wax! ? Certainly not a place for mobile oils. I am designing a dual mount hub now for a 92 tooth 219 sprocket, and 160mm rotor. Need roughly .7 inch spacing to clear most calipers I have checked. Need to make sure spoke and tire clearances are suitable. A few builds have done this so far and in use.

I am not at all interested in OTC and wish I could place all of the threads on a ignore list and not be pulled into it via quick links. I would rather think a member a fool then to read some of the crap they will commit to in writing. I avoided ES for months at a time after reading some of the posts...

Nice size! 118x51mm 1400 grams and 12KW on 14s. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H3c9c2ab0589e4abf9a14077fc2236f41F/MAIT-TMU15L-M30-100KV-Multirotor-Motor-12-16S-Brushless-Motor-For-Drone-Agricultural-Drones-Thrust-50KG.jpg_q50.jpg rushless-Motor-For-Drone-Agricultural-Drones-Thrust-50KG.jpg_q50.jpg And l...

If determined, You could grind away the BB shell to form fit the motor placement. If its a bit too thin- breaks though, you could always lay in a few layers of carbon fabric to stabilize it and make it custom form fit.

My late electrician would save a bunch of wonder bread bags for this type of insulation duty. He would wrap lugs and larger connections as much as needed (voltage, vibration, and impact) to protect sharp edges from cutting through and cover with a layer of ele tape to keep it in place (shrink tube w...

Agree Tom. They should have added thermal roll back on this setup. Interesting to see the phase runner and ca setups on the HD. That would be a big improvement to the stock setup. Not sure the BBS02 is worth trying to retro fit with all it's mechanical shortcomings. New style stock controller and at...

It has a 46 tooth chain ring on it and a 32 rear. May need to go up to a 42 or bigger rear to have avoided the controller overheat. My 110 pound grand son was on it pedaling some 50 -55 rpms next to me when it went dead. Just on low pas level settings, maybe 40% power. Center leg again. We were abou...

I have a early BBS02 with another blown controller. It lost a leg on a steep climb while on a low (30 -40% current) pas setting but was steep enough to slow the cadence significantly even with significant rider input. Total weight was under 170 pounds but enough. Unfortunately, finding they changed ...

The chassis wire -switches- lights are 12v, and share many of the Ice components. I most likely will leave a second- 12v battery in it if easier. May make it easier to have a onboard LI battery heater connected for those times it may be needed and no outlet is near by for the overnight ac heater set...

It’s consistent across the entire range I’m aware of. But to your point, now that I looked it up in a table, I find that the difference in gauge for a 2:1 cross-sectional area ratio is in fact 3, not 2. :oops: And the 2:1 ratio is exact, not approximate. Yes the 3x rule works, but that leaves you p...

the approximate ratio of cross-sectional area is 2:1 Yes, and if your into approximates, that is suitable. Unfortunately that only holds relatively consistently for part of the range. Fine multi Stranding, also makes it difficult to compare physically and the open metal wire gauges difficult to use...

14S, 7 of the leaf modules should be a direct drop in. You may need check the stock controller programing for a suitable low voltage cut off for Li packs. Put a voltage indicator or alarm on the pack so you don't get too low if your exploring. The BMS I am waiting for will take care of that issue. I...

+1 on the stronger / heavier rim. Glad to see your replacing all the spokes. Any of the ones not broken, would most likely have been compromised structurally. The limiting factor to building the most stable wheels is the rim in most cases. It is what limits how tight you can string it also. It is al...

I posted some of the motor choices in another thread. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=68950 The 20KW would make a good flying motor IMO. Listed at 5KG It looks to be able to run on reasonable low voltage. http://mymobilemms.com/OFFTHEGRIDWATER.CA/images/238-50b.jpg With a ...
