lol at 2kw it does lift the wheel if i lean back and throttle.Falco said:Looking real nice there as yoy know. Main question i have is does it do power wheelies???
cheers. i was thinking today its soo bloody adictive to make more toys but yeah i'd beter give it a rest for a bit. i wouldnt mind experimenting with a big rc motor like aussie jester. but i have an old scooter i made from a sack truck and a bike and a whiper snipper and a gate hinge and mini tramp springs for rear suspension cos the welds were breaking as a hard tail. i was oleing/jumping at 60kph one day and snaped the drive shaft, that was the last time she was powered about 10 years ago. would be an ideal platform to play with an rc motor and esc and servo tester come throttle.t3sla said:dude, excellent work!
Keep it up you're nailing it all the way getting it done.
Hopefully you have a few more different builds in the future as I'm keen to see what projects you undertake.

i got these clamping torque arms on there so I can run 6kw and use regen braking. i still have to place the reed switch on the lever with epoxy or something. It will be nice to have the rear brake pads last more than a week :|
thanks allot Falco. well they are both 1/2 inch steel with 5mm bolts clamping to the the axle flats so thats significantly beter than 5mm unclamped.Falco said:Not sure if i like your torque arms there. Think maybe you should dp420 them in place for extra strength. I broke my last ones when regen entered the picture. They were 5mm mild steel on both sides. Any movement al all will end in tears if left unchecked. Apart from that the bike is looking sweet. Came together really well i would say
1/2 inch! you really cant tell that from the pictures!! maybe weld them in place to eliminate the hose clamps. Thats really the only point that could let you down. Your right though that they are better then 5mm unclamped!!pendragon8000 said:thanks allot Falco. well they are both 1/2 inch steel with 5mm bolts clamping to the the axle flats so thats significantly beter than 5mm unclamped.Falco said:Not sure if i like your torque arms there.

knowing what they are now would you say thats cool?
That is actually way stronger then i first imagined! I think you got it nutted outpendragon8000 said:better view:
yea mate just get on their chat system. they'll try and talk you into various other options, like 'check it on the charger again' or 'cycle it' - in my case though it was a low V cell on delivery, so a slightly different situation. just stick to your guns, stay polite but firm and you'll get a ticket to send back the batt, and get a refund of purchase price.pendragon8000 said:I have found that i have a dud/low capacity cell. Any one have luck with hobby king getting there lipo replaced, and how to go about doing it? I have read that at least one person has done this. I think it was Sn0wchyld.

thanks ill give it a go.3nslav3 said:Thx for the reply in my build topic
I'll reply here as this is ment for your build (that I like 6KW FTW! )
for the brake reedswitch:
I used 1 of these shiny very powerfull magnets in the brake lever (the lever is usually hollow so perfect fit) and I secured it with hot glue
I think the magnet was a neodymuim magnet (the stuff they use to make fake free energy on youtube :lol: )
I could keep the magnet 1cm away before the reedswitch switches so it's a perfect solution :wink:
