You got those 3 things right :lol:Hyena said:imagines full throttle in a dark room with a flickering light in an abandoned warehouse :lol:
Don't have an assistant though..

Blown controller suck.
Just glad nothing burned....other than the ears of anyone in AJ's neighborhood within ear shot when the cussing started :lol:
Always one more thing.
Would you believe me if I said none ?AussieJester said:How many controllers you blown up whilst riding buddy hrmz? how manyz?
Hyena said:Would you believe me if I said none ?
Very good advice. I always clean mine with IPA and paint with conformal coating. Protects from water and shorts.pendragon8000 said:My controller came up blinging with a spider man tooth brush and the isopropyl. I used enamel spray to coat it after.
Bah that's your shitty controller with your shitty sewing machine motor, it doesn't countAussieJester said:Nope, i wouldn't you blew my 12fet up twice!! LMAO
I dont recall any long walks home due to controllers, but I'm happy to be corrected if you want to go digging. Chemo has made my memory very fuzzy these days and I frequently forget things :|Plus i recall a long walk home due to a blown controller, im sure i could dig up more if i searched
hi mate, just wondering how to work out were to put the halls? and how accurate do they have to be? im quite inspired to use a big outrunner on my next project/build.AussieJester said:Farfle said:Looking good! I think our bikes are just about even progress wise, although your probably ahead, mine still needs the motor mounted.
Thanks Farfle, I have been following your thread closely (as i always
do your work is top notch kudos ) This new build of yours is yet
another bar raiser! Looking forward to seeing the finished product
will look like something off a showroom floor im thinking, Best of
luck with the rest of the fab work mate...
Spicerack said:Nice Kim, nice.
Thanks Andy, should be killer fast to ~90km/hr catch me if you can ex-fuzz maaan teehehe
Wheazel said:This is a very nice build! I like that you fabricate so much with just sheetmetal/tubing.
Thanks matey appreciate it, not all that hard though just a lil time consuming...
Wheazel said:One thing I am curious about is the layout of the frame.
The look of it is appealing, but how did you decide positioning of handlebars
seat and pedals with regard to each other and the wheels?
I worked out the distances for the first frame, the seat distance from the
frame was the only real measurement i used IIRC 600mm from center
of seat to bottom bracket... YPedalMaN gave
me the measurement waaaay back on another build i continued using
this as it suited my leg length.. :wink:
Wheazel said:Did you decide on a preferred seating position
for your own body, and then make a layout from that? Did you make any
changes from the first chopperframe?
Being a paraplegic, i required a laid back seating position, with a not to high seat height
so i can transfer from wheelchair to bike reasonably easily. This seating position is
just the average crank forward though, you see it on other cruisers nothing ground breaking.
I did make changes actually, what i did before selling the old frame was do a CAD drawing
i.e Card Board Aided Design LoL i did a full scale trace of the frame extending the new frame by approximately an inch. I have kept the CAD drawing
for future use if ever needed to...FYI:- (1000w) Matt.P

Clay
Thankyou Clay, should come together a little faster now, im dividing my
time between my Garage and the missus, taking some time out so it gives
me heap more time to work on the bike Handful of 'booty calls'
the only distraction LoL 8)
UPDate!
I got to work on the panel that will 'house' the 72v 15ah LiPO pack yesterday
unfortunately i left my cuttoff disks at the workshop at my place
so was stuck with a half used disk to completely cut the panel
i got most of the outside done, obviously still requiring the center to
be cut out, right angle ali bolted to the surrounding cut out, this will form both
a flat base for the LiPO pack to sit on and provide 'stiffening' to the panel.
I also will surround the opening with some CF (carbon fiber) ill use the old
battery panel for this, its otherwise useless as i no longer have the old frame...
waist not want not i always say or as Amberwolf would put it
're-purposing' hehe.. I will make a plexi housing for the
pack also...but for now this is where i am at with it-->

^^ Again some 'CAD' to get the profile of the frame/panel within some sort of similarity
Took me an hour or so of faffing about getting a shape i was happy with, still some 'shaping'
required, this wont be the final product by a long shot im thinking LoL...Its cut from 3mm T5 ali FYi..
View attachment 5
I picked up some beffy right angle ali for the battery support, shall cut the opening and begin fitting
out the panel today.
To hold the panel in place ill use some nice CF brackets/tabs-->

Third time right! i hope LoL.. frock have i ballsed up the fitting of halls on the Turnigy CA120 motor or more
so the slots in the stator where the halls were to be placed aaaargh anywayz, with some guidence from
guru ThuDSTeR i think i have it set right now, i will run wires and connectors today and try and
spin the motor slowly with an old non programable 36v controller i got from Hyena a few years ago.
No idea if it will work but its all i have at this precise moment in time until the 18Fet Infineon Thud has offered
to build for this bike arrives...
View attachment 2
I did the slots previously before i wound the motor as its rather
difficult/fiddly to do ounce wound, i used the good ol dremel and a diamond bit to hack away a recess
to fit halls in, they actually better than the first ones i did so bit of a blessing. The concave area
allows the halls to seat nicely, little industrial grade epoxy and wholla!!
I also have an issue (Rodgah had same problem on his stainless steel cuiser IIRC?) I'm not
using the old extra wide sturmey archer three speed as i did in the previous build, i have an extra
wide steel hub from choppersUS unfortunatey though, the disk brake sprocket adapter from Mr Recumpence SiR
has a slight tapper on it and thus fouls on the hub before its fully seated SO i am making a
spacer from 3mm ali plate hopfully this will work if not Matt.P (1000w) said he can pop it on the lathe at a friends
workshop and rectify the problem at hand-->

Thats all i have for now chaps, thanks for the kind words and encouragement, should have some more
to offer up later this arvo for those following the build..
happy trails y'all.. 8)

Yeah but all and sundry will be able to hear which way you wentAussieJester said:get this running this Turnigy CA120 and Rodney64 aint going
to see which way i went LOL
That a boy, dream bigSeriously, hope to have it reliable
AussieJester said:The Kelly controller landed yesterday!!! Its HUGE haha wont go close to fitting
where the 18Fet Infineon sat i will need to offset the linear actuator to gain necessary
clearance "thickness wise" even then its going to be tight fitting inside the manual
pedal chain sprocket. Length is also cloooosse will fit but not alot of room for wiring
I need the controller mounted "within" the frame for stealth purposes, i could simply
ghetto it up and hang it off the front downtube but it would look faaaarked..I also picked
up my Burtie Timing board which i with the help of CHRiS (jonescg) on Friday,
will hopefully hook up so the motor timing can be 'played with' ..I also have
Zombies throttle tamer to wire in, if we can get it all working should be
a severely smooth accelerating setup...::Fingers crossed:: well until the
controller melts my beautifully custom wound CA120 into a pile of molten
goo...should be a fun 10 minutes though right!!!
Wish us luck... get this running this Turnigy CA120 and Rodney64 aint going
to see which way i went LOL Seriously, hope to have it reliable and
ready for Voicecoils visit West to start his cross country e-bike trek..
Back soon chaps

This is my latest frockmotor, I reckon she'd rip a tidy little burnout if it wasnt for the the tyres being so expensive.
