18v worx leaf blower on 22v lipo

[auraslip]

Finally got my leaf blower in the mail.

First thing I did was reverse the polarity and blow up the board! Alright... at least that gives me a good excuse to take it apart and upgrade what I can.


18 gauge wires!


36v 16a

Motor gets warm running for a few seconds.... How will it fair running for five minutes?

That almost looks like one of the RC 540 sized motors 1/10 scale buggies used to run, only with an internal cooling fan. I wonder if one of the high powerd RC motors would work for that?

I'm thinking at the very least all the parts across the 18v and 24v lines are cross compatible... as in the 18v lvc board and motor will fit in the 24v blower and vice versa. It should be possible to order a 24v motor. I'd like to put an RC motor in there but I don't have the fab skills and rc motor know how.

Now I just need a way to attach it to the blower.

I made my 18volt WORX string trimmer work by running it on (5) THUNDERSKY 20AH BATS. I made a sholder strap to carry the battries with. now all my trimming problems are solved.
