Starting with a 48V 1000W Yescomusa Direct Drive Hub Kit.
I am curious to know how far anyone has upgraded or modified this drive (or similar inexpensive DD Hub) and what your results were.
I am considering the following:
* Upgrading the Phase Wires to 12ga (or maybe 10ga if I can sqeeze them through the bearing) for added current capability.
* Add a temperature sensor
* Seal the Drive with Permatex Automatic Transmission RTV Silicone and Fill the drive with ATF for cooling solution.
* Find a suitable Controller for higher voltage and current and see how far I can push this drive.
* Stock up on some HK LiPo, once the hardcase packs are back in stock.
I am hoping for 4000W or more and 45 MPH or more. So probably get there with 24S (100V) and 40 Amps...
Will a 12FET 4110 Controller be sufficient, or do I need to step it up to 18FET-4115? - Or perhaps a shunt & trace mod will be necessary...
Any flaws in my plan? Are my above mods capcable of greater power? 6KW? 10KW?
