I got the stock phase wires (cut off the Anderson PP's) on the motor hooked up to the big wires on the controller.
I got the hall wires hooked up correctly I believe.

My CA reads out 46V which is true due to my volt meter reading, my top speed however is only 15.5kph. I have 46V volts at 20Ah and I think the CA reads out 0.46ohms for battery resistance.

The first hall sensor (the ones with the really small wires and the white wire which is unused.) I connected it up and it ran but quirky/wonky/gittery.
The second time it ran smoothly.

The motor simulator on ebikes.ca should be at 38 or 39kph. Is simply the fact I got small wires about 2' long stock, going from motor to controller? Restricting it?
Do I still have to play around with the hall and phase wire combinations?
 
Yes I lifted the bike up and throttled it all the way. All I have is the rim/motor, no tire on it yet.
I resoldered my 5.5mm bullets.

Basically I got 4S 14.8V 5Ah Turnigy hard cases hooked up in parallel first, because I bought the 4:1 parallel harness from HobbyKing. Its the 4mm Bullets x4, going into a larger wire thats 5.5mm bullets. So I have 3 of those packs, making it 14.8V and 20Ah by 3 so 46V and 20Ah.

I connected the Ignition wire to main lead. I disconnected the regen wire.

I dont know what else to do, do I still have to play around with the hall and phase wire combinitations. Could that be whats stopping it from going full speed?
I got the Lyen controller hooked up to it.
18 FET Low RDS MOSFET Overclocker Ready LYEN Controller $199

Oh darn it I forgot the batteries are at storage voltage. 46V, not fully charged.
I will fully charge them now, I will try to parallel charge them I guess. 12 batteries in total.

Edit:
Im totally excited now that I got it firgured out.

OK The issue was I had to go to the color coding list of "MXUS motor from Xin Feng (4/18/2013)"
Halls are Y-Y, G-G and B-B (M-C) M=Motor C=Controller
Phases are Y-G, G-B and B-G (M-C) M=Motor C=Controller

I got it going about 38km/h and ~400W unloaded, no tire. Thats inline with the ebikes motor simulator.

Not the other 2 listed as (1/17/2013) nor Cable Company listing.

I had setups where it went gittery, knew it was wrong on both the M and C side.

I am telling ya this setup freaked me right out even at 46V storage voltage. I think its best to hook up "keyed" connectors that you can never mess up.
Now interestingly enough, the half speed setup I believe the phases were Y-Y, G-B and B-G the halls were Y-Y, G-B and B-G. Like I said that reached 15kph.

I am going to buy/make a battery bag that sits under the crotch tube. There is faaaaaar tooooo much weight on the back wheel.

Now shouldnt the Controller be cutting the thing off because I am running 46V, I think it comes stock for a 62V LCV. I should be running it at 72V.

------------------------
Hooked up another 14.8V 5Ah pack, 61.5V and ~60km/h at approx ~500W unloaded.

It's not a yes or no question. I was asking what the CA current reading was, when off ground/unloaded.

If you read the many other such troubleshooting threads you'll see that is a key to knowing if you have the right combination or not.
 
I gotcha, I just remember the amperage was very low on the CA.
My batteries are all disconnected now as I try to figure out how to redistribute the weight to the top tube.
 
Most likely you didn't have the right combo of halls. But the jittery could be the right combo, but with a poor connection somewhere. At times in the past, I have spent days trying combos, because sometimes I hit the right combo, but don't have as good a connection as I thought. Other times, find the right combo in 10 min. :roll:
