Sounds like an awesome ride even though it stopped on you. Honestly I would take a look at this website http://www.kellycontroller.com/ They carry a lot more heavy duty electronics for larger EV's. I'm not sure that RC components would be a good idea for this case.

Okay finally got some time for some pictures after work. Hopefully this will help show what I'm talking about, also any other input is welcome! Thanks for the reply torque, I know that it looks kind of sloppy underneath the hood right now I just haven't had time to really design a cleaner...

Sorry I wasn't more clear in the first post and I'll try and actually post a picture of the setup tomorrow. I'm running essentially two pairs of 6s LifePo's in parallel. They each have their own BMS and don't require balancing. Also, they should last quite a bit as they are each 6600mAh and...

Hi, thank you for looking at the topic. I've run into some trouble wiring my new setup. Honestly it'd be a bit hard to explain so I made a picture! So the top image is my current setup. My problem is that the jumper connection I soldered in only disconnects one battery. With the parallel...

Very cool, nice price too with a 1/10 mm tolerance.

What kind of 3D printers do you guys have? I browsed around a few of them and want to purchase one myself next year. However I've read most are kind of finicky and it's more of a hobby. Just curious what people are using to make these parts

Dude that enclosure looks awesome, streamline or not.

You could possibly go with something like a heli ESC if you weren't interested in brakes. They seem to have a slower start speed though by default but that can be changed.

Best value would be determined by longevity and price in my eyes. The hobby wing esc is fairly cheap and most people seem to have good experiences with them.

This makes me reconsider using the nunchuck transmitter. Even on the site where they are sold it reads "do not use this as a controller for your board". Hopefully they will become more reliable in the future. Sucks that you crashed like that man.

Yeah that's a good point... The alien power systems do offer 120A ESCs for $70 which is a good price. For some reason I prefer the idea of having two ESCs with two motors just in case one fails.

Right now I'm currently using the 6364 on a longboard and it runs great. It's on a 6s so the battery doesn't last too long but the speed is great. For a mountain board, I would think you should focus on a higher battery setup like two 6s per motor or just go ahead and do a 10s per motor as...

1 and 3 look really nice. If I could say though that the lighting could be a bit better in the actual picture of the board as it seems to kind of stick out unnaturally here.

It's definitely fast! this is awesome

I was curious about this initially. If you were to buy a switch rated for 120v at 20 amps, could you not use it in this application where there is 25v at say 90 amps? The watts would relatively be about the same right?
