Didn't go quite as planned, shorted the battery while testing a spare controller... Klutz! Costly mistake 😔 hopefully the nice new Sanyo cells are ok. Anyone know who could replace the BMS for me here in Australia?
They were connected to the controller where my finger is pointing.
I tried to run thr motor with just the 3 phase wires connected directly to my new controller and it just stutters, turns about 5° then makes a whirring noise... 😬
Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing right now.
Any idea what the 2 extra wires near the caramel coloured insulation wrap, nearer the axe are/do I just leave them?
Thanks for your message, I'll open it up and see. Does a brushed motor have much less performance than brushless? I know they're less efficient, but are they similar torque?
Thank you so much for replying Thomas, I'll open it up and see if there's a controller inside. Hopefully able to bypass the controller and run wires out the axle to my controllers harness. Photos to follow...
Hi all, can anyone please help?
Can I connect this motor (5 wire Gazelle) to my brushless speed controller (9 wire Higo cable)?
Guessing the motor is DC brushed with no hall sensor, incompatible with 9 wire brushless controller.
Thanks
Sam
I've got a brand new silver 36v 250w 36h front XD motor in Sydney AUS which I don't need and have not used. Can sell for $130 plus postage if anyone interested? dj5ams@gmail.com
