It will be interesting to get more info about the motor :thumb: Maybe you can post in the qs 138 thread too? It would be interesting to see what size the gears are and things like that. I most certainly will. I plan to do some photos and videos over the holiday break and will post to the qs thread!...

Yes I have received it just yesterday. Ive purchased a few from qs motor and they are great to work with. The link provided gives Vitos contact details. He and his team were fast to respond and the motor is of VERY HIGH quality. Ill post up some pics and vids later today.

Hi Folks - I'm still alive and project is still moving forward. Hit a snag and had to hit the pause button for a bit. Nerve damage had gotten pretty bad, and it came with a 6 week break. No typing, no computer mouse. No nothing. :( I am right handed by the way. thumbnail_20201015_095930.jpg thumbnai...

Now here is a piece I can use right now. Love how fast Trials Super Store ships stuff.
My current kill switch is a nightmare, this will go on tomorrow morning.

Don't totally discount the idea of a BMS. A lot of times you start out with an ambitious goal of building a complex wiring setup and by the time you buy all the little adapters and connectors you end up at the same dollar amount than if you had just started with a BMS. Yes, you continue to make val...

Also, what was the cost of that motor/gearbox combo?

The new motor cost was $308 (USD)
The EM150SP Votol Controller was $210 (USD)

I was told that the shaft has also been updated on this motor, and someone stated a 520 sprocket can fit. Time will tell.

That is one hell of a back yard. Nice to be able to hop on a do a quick spin. Your skills must be improving big time! How much HP/Torque you think you have? Also, with your air box removed, did you add any other support for the rear fender?

Looks like you are getting it. Only reason I'm getting this, is because you folks took the time to help me. Super awesome! I'm down to two remaining questions as it relates to my wiring for power. :) The Star Bursts represent the area of my questions. WireDetails.jpg I'd like to have a master power...

My favorite photo mock once again. :) When in Use: 3 Paralleled X60 connectors + 3 Balance (spliced) connectors (RED Boxes) would be what is exposed in a panel I make. The Series cable (GREEN Box) I'd use when in use. The LVA would be used when in use When Charging: The Series cable (GREEN Box) woul...

If you use 3 x 6s2p (28Ah) in series, then each 6s2p (28Ah) pack is effectively one battery. This is what I was missing and did not understand - thank you for clearing this up. So YES, I will just leave the two packs together as a parallel for ever. I did not understand that becomes 1 battery. As s...

If you folks could not get the Nucular Controller, what would have gone with? I've had the Votol and did not come with progressive regen and software was buggy with so many different versions to choose from as well. I'm on the wait list for Nucular, but need to get something to pair up to my QS3kw m...

If you want to get fancy you can create a manifold to plug in the main leads and balance leads (and keep them organised), which will also be wired to the low voltage alarm, and then put this into a nice box or something. I most certainly do want to get fancy with my set up. I think the 3 battery 14...

Want you to make sure and get this right because the consequences are pretty bad if you are wrong. If you go parallel then series than each parallel group is like one giant pack. So you can treat group: 1-6 A and B as one 6s pack with 2x the capacity 7-12 A and B are also one 6s pack with 2x the ca...

I read Parallel first, then run in series. Easier to charge, break the series then charge each parallel group. Maybe this is the right way to wire up my 6 batts? Just 3 in parallel shown below; I'd have to replicate it on the other side of the series connector. http://www.wedesigngood.com/images/thu...

One device you might want to consider is a lanyard kill switch for your wrist to the bars. Was on my list from the moment I started the project. But thank you for reminding me to actually purchase it. Grabbed this little guy this evening. https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-8qheu7ve/images/stencil/1280...

This is perhaps the correct way? make my 2 series packs then parallel them both?

Working on my design for battery box while I wait. I figure I can run 6 batteries now, so will go with 18s2p. I bought a bunch of Series and Parallel connector, wires and various connectors. Here is my mock up on my batteries. 6 Batteries would be on the bottom in Parallel, then put in Series. Is th...

Decided to take a few steps back in my project. I feel this is a very good thing. I sold my QS Motor/Controller/Speedo/Throttle - the whole kit! Absolutely nothing wrong with it, and QS quality seems to be VERY GOOD. Why the Change then you ask? I purchased the New QS Motor QS 138 70H V3 with 1:2.35...

Speed Mode Selector Button I'm not overly thrilled with this purchase but it will do. For now it is functional. I'm not a huge fan of buttons or switches on the bars, but what's one little switch I suppose. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/513ouxNnozL._AC_SL1001_.jpg And a gear indi...

Low Voltage Alarms - Grabbed me a 10 pack for $20 on Amazon. Not sure if I can post links to products for sale or not. But hey for $20, I'm sure I'll find a use for them. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61WkTf58gEL._AC_SL1433_.jpg Amongst various wires/connector/adaptors (small for...

CHARGING FORWARD! Heard some pretty good things about this charger, so giving it a whirl. Worse case is my son will get a new RC charger if this doesn't work out. Price was really good in comparison to some others out there. Keep you folks posted as to its quality. Should be here before the end of ...

Batteries are in HAND! WOW! Was not expected Batteries to arrive in 2 days. Nothing arrives in two days. Especially not explosives. :twisted: Now I feel behind as I haven't even ordered my connectors and still deciding on a Charger. Guess I'll need to speed my research up. Looks like there is 2lbs ...

Some details of te gearreduction of the Em. You Sir are a FREAKIN' HERO! This is so helpful. Gearing is next after I sort a few last items out related to batteries. Excellent to hear you are getting 45 mins full blast on trail with 10ah. 1. Controller - I'm going to look at the Nuclear; I hear it c...

Ohhh - Yes, let's see the size of that sprocket on that 18" wheel.

Also, dont ever store them full.

What happens when you store full? And how long is "store"? Can I leave them charge up during the week and use it on the weekend or is that "stored"?
