    14/15s controller options for 3 wheel project?

    any hv 14 or 15s ones seem to be airplane/heli... none sensored that high either. I am looking into the vesc through Ollin Board co. 12s@50amps with a heat-sink. Not the voltage I was looking for, but likely worth the compromise.

    14/15s controller options for 3 wheel project?

    a link to hobbyking... thanks... :? As you can see by my post I am looking for input regarding more specific, hi-powered controllers along the lines of the ones offered by APS. Could one of those boat/car/quad controllers from hk even hold up to the sustained draw and abuse from eboard and...

    14/15s controller options for 3 wheel project?

    I have not been around the forums much because the 3 wheel project has been mostly on the shelf for a while. No time... I have a motor now, the maple deck is laminated and rough shaped and I have started fabricating wheel and motor mounts. I would like to get this thing going by summer. So I...

    Ha, cool, I hadn't thought of that... very interesting. Is painting the tire a proven thing to do or are you experimenting with it? It looks really good. I couldn't tell from those pictures, I assumed you found a tire source I wasn't aware of... I might have to borrow this technique for one of...

    3 wheel mountainboard - V.3 begins…

    It is a fun project. I doubt this will be the last "version" :D and (less) weight is definitely a priority. Checked out your site. I didn't even know mtb tires came in white walls, very cool. I am imagining those white walls on red trucks, a carbon topped deck with a clear grit finish...

    3 wheel mountainboard - V.3 begins…

    Yes, 9 ply (6 long + 3 cross grain). The last board was 10 ply (8 long + 2 cross). 2 layers carbon. Too much, maybe. But I learned on the first board (7 layer, 1 carbon layer top), that the flex is very different with a three wheeler. Much more torsional or twist flex. The back wheel "waggled"...

    Got it. The shipping costs v.s local source would be a factor. Let me know, I'll keep it in mind.

    psychotiller- nah, SoCal is a bit out of battery range from Toronto... :lol: benj- cheers Pediglide- I am planning to sell decks if there is the interest. The idea is not to get into the complexity and liabilities of selling an all inclusive, ready to ride board. If, there is a demand, I...

    3 wheel mountainboard - V.3 begins…

    psychotiller- It depends how sharp the turn :lol: It will have a tighter radius than the last board. The smaller wheel combined with 3.5" shorter deck length. Should help, but still wont be tight. We will see... I marked the mold to take an additional 2" out of the center if need be. I want to...

    Finally started work on the third build of a three wheel board design. I have been learning from this site for a while now, without posting much. The amazing custom builds and variations on this site helped to inspire the direction of this project. I took some time to redesign the power...
