    Good Source of Steel Timing Pulleys for Motors?

    https://www.amazon.com/Ametric%C2%AE-5M15X15-Timing-Pulley-Overall/dp/B00DHIVX08/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467780556&sr=8-1&keywords=Ametric%C2%AE+5M15X15+Steel+HTD+Timing+Pulley I get all my steel motor pulleys from amazon. You carry a pretty good range of steel pulleys.

    Is Regen being activated while coasting on low gear setups?

    As far as I understand it, no. When you backdrive the motor it creates voltage difference between the phase leads, however, (at least in the case where the esc is on and in neutral) the mosfets are switched off, and so there is "infinite" resistance between phases. In the absence of a finite...

    What are your views on 3d printed mounts and pulleys?

    I haven't ever tried straight 3d printed pulleys, but i have used a 3d print as the plug for an investment cast pulley and it turned out great. I am about to upgrade to 12s so I am switching up my pulleys and this time I am 3d printing an interface for the hub, then waterjetting the pulley...

    quick battery question for the wise and expirienced

    If i am not mistaken I think that is the behavior you get with packs in parallel... :?: Rethinking my previous answer a little bit: With the packs in series the same current has to be going through them so they should discharge at the same rate. The pack that has a lower C rating should have...

    quick battery question for the wise and expirienced

    The best way to know if they will play nice together is to measure the resistance across the terminals for both batteries. If the resistances are the same or close then you are good to go. If you are geared low and don't expect to be pulling a lot of amps you are probably good to go either way.

    10S custom skate ESC: testers wanted!

    Looks like you are not getting it through octopart in the US for less than $5 a piece. Digikey and every other place that I have found that will sell it to you in low quantities is also out of stock. Any other options?

    VESC data logging app for iOS

    Would you be able to plug it directly into the USB mini port on the VESC?

    When to use low voltage - VESC Configuration

    Sounds good. Thanks for the info. I will definitely be going over the board with jewelers loupe, that has saved me as well several times in the past when soldering smd boards. I will just plan on using a 3s lipo then for everything, thanks for the help!

    VESC data logging app for iOS

    Amen! I am super stoked about this! I am going to bump the android port, there is not much I can do with ios. It would even be great to just have a wired app for android that we can use do vesc datalogging for android in the mean time. It is a lot easier to skate around wired up to your phone...

    When to use low voltage - VESC Configuration

    Thanks for the great info chaka! a few questions for you: 1) It seems like it would be nice to use a lab power supply to limit the current as well. From what i have read lab power supplies will do weird stuff mostly if you try to brake with the vesc. Are there other problems that the power...

    How To Solder Your Own VESC!

    @Chaka: I saw that you very graciously posted your 4.10 gerbers for OshPark a while back. I am planning on placing an order to OshPark soon and I am going to try my hand at soldering a vesc (I am just going to be soldering one, but it seems like the cheapest option is still to buy 3 from OshPark...

    SK3 6364 vs 6374 for SIngle???

    Do you mind if I ask what batteries you are using? also are you using a vesc or something else? I have been curious as to why my batteries have not held up to well (i am using 2x3s zippy 8000 mah 30c, so I would think that they should be fine), I am a pretty heavy guy (230 lbs) and I have...

    SK3 6364 vs 6374 for SIngle???

    Has anyone tried a 6374 single motor set up at 12s? if so what gearing did you use? I wonder what kind of performance you would get with this. Right now I am running a 6374 at 6s and 18/36 gearing, it does a pretty good job, descent speed, can climbs hills, but I a have noticed that it puts a...

    3D printed parts Depository

    Yeah i am pretty excited about it, we will have to see how it turns out. yeah I will be doing it with PLA. The wax filament sounds cool, but I know they don't have it for the printer I have access to at school, and there is no way I could get it in time. I have heard that the PLA works pretty...

    3D printed parts Depository

    @Beto_py or anyone else do you have/know where I can get a model for a 36t 15mm pulley that fits the 83 clones? Beto I know you said you use a 15mm setup unlike most of the people who are using 9mm setups. I am going to investment cast it for a class project (class credit for making my e-board...

    First build; Best motors for heavy riders?

    Thanks for your replies guys. I'm assuming that was on a duel setup then? I am interested in an 8s possibility, but it seems like all the Car ESCs I can find are only rated for 6s, the only ones I have found that are rated for more than 6s are the alien esc, and they seem to be quite a bit...
