Also, I thought this would be important to mention... I haven't been able to discover the root of the problem as I haven't had a chance to rewire the batteries directly to the anti spark switch to bypass the BMS. However, I charged it up last week. It stopped charging after 24.5V, discharged...

The only part of the board that get hot is the ESC which is directly under the heatsink. Both the batteries and the BMS do not heat up. But I don't see how the ESC could be causing discharging malfunctions. Your anti spark switch gets stuck on? What do you mean?

Not that I know of. I checked the website specs (barely existed), and saw nothing on a cycling function. But I will look into buying a new charger with such function if that turns out to be the problem. I do. I use anti-spark connectors along with torqueboards anti-spark switch circuit.

Update: After disconnecting the balance lead connector to the BMS, the board stopped discharging on its own. However, after riding for about 15 minutes, the batteries died at 23.5V, instead of the usual 20.9V. Does this mean my batteries are messed up?

Thanks! It was going strong up until about a week and a half (or so) ago. The batteries started discharging much more rapidly then before and the voltage at which the batteries "die" went from being 20.9V to 23.5V. This is significant because my batteries only charge to 24.5V. I don't know if...

There is no off the shelf motor mount that I know of. I had similar, if not the exact same trucks on my first eboard, which was a conversion. It was tricky as I had to mill away at the actual trucks to make things work. If I were you, I would go ahead and buy some caliber II trucks if you plan...

That's a really good idea. Once I get home tonight, I'll give that a shot. If it is the BMS, then it'll be a simple swap to fix it. However, I hope to find out what caused the BMS to malfunction in the first place. I'll update the thread once I give your test a shot. Thank you!

Bump :mrgreen: Any thoughts?

That's the one! In my opinion, it's significantly more reliable. But at the end of the day, it's your call.

From my experience, the Nyko/wiiceiver combo have unreliable communication/signal between each other. I've never used it with the VESC, but on my first board, it would lose connection in a city environment and then shoot out from under my feet. I found it to be way too risky and unreliable to...

Hello, I've been riding my new board for a decent chunk of the summer and still getting a few rides in during the fall. However, as of late, I have noticed that my board dies at a much sooner voltage than it used too. Quick Specs: 6S - 5000mAh (6 separately wired batteries, not in packs) 60A...

This is awesome! I'm really grateful that you're going to post a schematic because I could never do something like this myself and have wanted to incorporate this into a new board. Please keep this thread updated :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Wow, thanks for all the kind words everyone! Haha, thanks a lot! The ESC is actually the 120A 6S ESC that Torqueboards sells on his website. To fit into the board, I had to take it apart and rewire the pins that went from the top half of the board to the bottom. I bought the boards in 2 sizes...

Thanks a lot! I just took it through Chicago and all that needs to be done is locking some threads with blue Loctite thread lock :D Also, I'm a huge fan of your builds, Whitepony.

Hi again, I really enjoy this forum and am trying to be a more frequent poster, however, the only thing I can contribute are builds and lots of pictures. I started this build somewhere in February or March. I wanted build something that I knew would be reliable as well as aesthetically...
