I think it's great! Tried both back wheel and front wheel and the ride felt much smoother and it was easier both to break and steer when the power/breaking came from the front. I think it might depend on the board also, with my previous it felt better with rear wheel.

Almost forgot to post the final result here. Here are some images: Close-up of the electronics box

Does bluetooth have in this application any advantage to ordinary 2.4 GHz? Such as:

Finally got everything to work and got a new deck! Even managed to get a Wii controller to work with Arduino Micro Pro, still many adjustments before the code is ready but should be done within a week or so. Here are some images: Close-up of the electronics box Even closer on the...

Ahh! Didn't think of that, attaching it to the VCC will give me 3.3V without having to pull up a pin to high. Been googling a bit and it seems like the ESC hopefully can identify 3.3V as a high and it doesn't have to be a 5V board. Ordered me a 3.3V board so we'll just have to see if it works!

I simply picked the pin 5 because it's close and a "PWR" pin and I suppose I can then make it output 3.3V which would power the Wii-adapter. Where is the onboard voltage regulator?

Changed the image now in the original post. Does it look now like it would work?

Great! Thanks a lot! I will add that to the orginal picture and update it. Will the ESC still be able get a good signal from it if I go down to 3.3V/8 MHz?

Exactly the same problem! Never tried to measure any voltage dependence other than to make sure the cells were at ~4.2V. Also got it to work without discharging it a bit, just turned it on and as soon as the identification of 6S cell is complete, full throttle for 1-2 seconds and then it works...

I've been looking into making a Wii Nunchuck work with a Arduino Pro Micro board. Been reading some and come up with something that I think might work. The base of it all would be an Arduino Pro Micro 5.5V/16 MHz powered by the BEC from my HK150A High Performance ESC (Which finally works...)...

You were (almost) absolutely right Psychotiller. Finally got everything to work again and the ESC wasn't broken, just some small bugs. The primary problem was that one of the fabric soldered connectors to the engine was bad and it was literally hanging by a thread. Re-soldered it and after a...

When it's on the bench with full throttle, don't think I can measure the voltage while riding it. But does that matter when the ESC shows low voltage even when it's on the bench and I can measure 25.1 at the base of the ESC? Saw now that one connector to the motors was hanging by one thread, so...

Done some measurements and testing now. The voltage is 25.2V both at the connector and at the base of the ESC. It drops down to 25.1V during load (The 3 seconds when it goes to max...) at both points. Tried with two other batteries that was balance charged, same there. And still they work just...

How's that possible? I've used the batteries like one should...It worked just perfectly on my way home, and when I got home, recharged the batteries and it didn't work again...Is there any way to fix this?

Okay so I finally got it all put together and working nicely...for a while. All of a sudden the ESC starts to complain that two fully charged 3s 5000 mAh in series have low battery...I tried them separately and no problem there is only when in they are in series. Is it possible that the series...
