Thanks so much. Not to worry about cells/understanding of the casing. The reason I was asking is that I already have a selection of 21700 cells waiting to go in to a pack, just wasn't sure which shell to choose. Just got to find suppliers that'll ship to the UK now and work out which size to...

Thanks, do you have any advice on whether I should look at the Reention vs Hailong? Looks like there are 21700 options in both, not sure if either is more highly rated at all?

Thanks Ill run some numbers but I'm hoping that my mission profile will be low enough average power that I can get away with hiding the controller away in the battery base

Are you aware of 21700 cell packs that still support the base mounted controllers? I have some cells that I can use for a build so that's my area of research

I'm planning to switch the battery anyway to be honest, the 15s Lipos I have from 10 years ago are functional but things have moved on a bit and I think i'll move towards 21700's

If I did look at the baserunner should I be considering the Hailong or the Reention batteries? Again there seems to be some info floating around online about whether these have remained compatible with available controllers?

I do have a programming cable somewhere for it yes :) I'm not too fussed by torque sensing pas, just pedal movement PAS Thanks so much for the help!

As nice as the phaserunner and baserunner options look they aren't cheap! I was hoping since I wasn't requiring such high performance that there may be some cheaper bits available that will still provide some smooth reliable running in the setup I'm after?

Wow, amazing responses already! I'll take a look, that baserunner certainly looks tidy, I might have to keep my eye out on the classifieds to try and bring this build in to some kind of budget I can get my head around :)

Oh, also forgot to mention, the current controller is pretty bulky! I'd love something a bit more compact that can integrate in to the build a little easier.

Some years ago (2103!) I purchased a MAC motor kit from Paul over at em3ev to put in to a home built, high(ish) performance, recumbent trike. Going back though my communications with him at the time, what a patient a knoweldgable chap! Unfortunately life got in the way, my interests moved to...

incredibly cheeky bump. Has anyone else got controller advice?

Currently I am building my own CA style device, but this is bery much in development. But this is a great suggestion :) I am more interested at the moment as to whether I will be able to calibrate in this type of soft start in to my current controller? thanks again

Another cellman order it is then! New clutch with the new gears will go in as well. May as well put some nice phase wire upgrades in at the same time. I WILL make this motor work! My only other question before raising the order is regarding motor controller. As seen in earlier posts in this...

After replacing the clutch and having the motor working for 4miles happily I have now managed to sheer the keyway holding the clutch to the shaft. I am not having much luck with this motor at all! Are new axles available for these things?
