    Looking for advice on how to use my Benchwheel components

    I'm really not sure, I don't know a ton about building these things yet which is why I bought the Benchwheel - I just know it will shut down pretty quickly after I ride it for a few minutes. The biggest pain is that the components are in a metal tube underneath the board and they are very snug...

    Looking for advice on how to use my Benchwheel components

    Hello, I have a Benchwheel dual motor that constantly fails due to heat, so I'm hoping to build my own board using some of the components. Here are the components I hope I can re-use: - Motors - Battery pack - Remote What else is necessary to make the board functional? ESCs I know, anything...

    Benchwheel Cutting Off

    The good news: The amp seems to have fixed my issue. On about a 10 minute ride earlier it didn't cut off once. The bad news: I somehow severed the wire that leads to the transmitter. I tried to attach another wire, but I obviously used the wrong type/wrong gauge of wire and it doesn't seem to...

    Were you able to find the fuse locally? I am searching around but can't find anyone that carries on that high.

    Benchwheel Cutting Off

    I will try this, any idea what type of fuse it is? I'd like to pick it up while I'm at work but I don't believe it's a regular auto fuse, it seems a bit bigger.

    Benchwheel Cutting Off

    Benchwheel Cutting Off

    So I tested the whole pack and it was a steady 24.9 V. I put it under load and it held steady at 24.5 Doesn't seem to be any sagging at all. I can't find a way to test the batteries individually, any advice? They are all held/glued together.

    Benchwheel Cutting Off

    I've had a Benchwheel for about a month now, and suddenly it will only run for about 30 seconds before it cuts off and the power light begins to blink. I emailed the dealer and was told the batteries have gone bad, but to me it almost seems like the ESC is overheating. It will work for a short...

    You guys heard of Benchwheel?

    Did we ever get a top speed confirmation on this? I ordered a dual which should be here Thursday, I should be able to get a number this weekend.
