Revolt Rv-120 pro/ norco aline Video teaser

I can't see my self replacing burned $800 controller for the fun of it...
there is a long story about the controller tat I'm using now. I got 7 24fets from Zombiess some finish others bare. I got them for experimentation cause Zombiess couldn't get them to work properly. those are 24fets hand match 4115 fets

This is all quite unsettling. I posted in that topic for an update from Zombiess about these controllers, no answer.

John in CR has a Revolt RV-120 but I'm still not clear what controller he has paired up with this motor. The motor seems quite promising but until someone states a specific commercially available controller to go with it, then it is remains on the drawing board for me.

I know the motor is pretty new on the scene so I really would assume there are some controllers proven to get the most from this motor while not going up in smoke.
 
Have you tried to ask Adaptto if they could do a test of the revolt 120?
I am sure it would be valuable for them as well to know for sure how well their controller work for that motor.

If one look at the complete price tag for revolt 120 + an adaptto the price is not so bad. For about any similar power you would end up about the same amount of cash - even if you get a low cost controller. Then add BMS. So if Adaptto purchase on of the Revolt motors and then verify that it is a good combo that would probably fuel them even more sales of the Adappto controllers.

And if the conclusion is that it does not work - they can either make changes for it to work or sell the motor ie here on the forum.
It makes more sense for a vendor to do the testing - after all the results would benefit them as well.
 
I'd love to see ANY decent testing of the motor and a solid controller. The Adappto would likely work but again, I want to see the pairing and some results. And it does not have to be some fully instrumented rigorous tests, just something common sense that shows what the combination can do.

There are many more failed attempts than success - I'm not about to join the guinea pig squadron as I have neither the time, energy, interest, or temperament for that sort of experimentation activity. It is going to be sufficiently challenging to get all known and verified components to integrate well enough to have a good, solid, professional looking, and running project.

I did some google searching and the lack of hits is pretty dramatic. Makes me wonder if this is used much at all outside the few ES members who have posted. There was not a single reference to it being used in an RC scale project. Waiting for email response now.

Also waiting for John in CR to provide more details about the new controller he has ordered.
 
Let us know what you find. You might wanna send a link to Adaptto to this thread. Who knows. Maybe they see a potential market.
After all, max-e can = 75K erpm.

ive got the rv100 pro, ill be putting it on my bike with a max-e in the near future (hopefully just a couple of weeks)... in terms of ERPM its fine, at 90v both motors hit about 30k erpm. Though i will be more than a little pissed if it does kill the controller, shipping to russia aint gonna be cheap.
There are a few russian forums that have guys using rv120/100's, but also with limited data/results.

Ok sn0w let us know as soon as you done your testing.

Btw - on one video I saw of the motor it seemed that the motor somehow was a little "unbalanced" or wobbly. You could even hear it did not sound correct. I wonder if that is due to the mounting or if it has something to do with with the motor itself. Like the axle, bearings, stator etc. And if so is there a way to address and correct such rattling vibrations?

For the motor to last during use and have longevity I assume vibrations can not be a good thing?

afaik that guy commented how he'd taken the motor apart, and had had trouble doing so - he thought he may have damaged the bearings in the process (one magnet he thought had also come loose, potentially from him heating up the case to get a screw out... all the other vids ive seen seem fine mechanical noise wise. Mine also has a number of small grub screws around the perimeter, I think this is what they use to balance the motor - and would explain why the guy had issues if he didn't mark the orientation of the magnet ring to the side covers.
 
Just out of curiosity, at the voltage and current settings that you're running are you having any problems with motor overheating? I'm interested in pairing this motor with a Lebowski controller and wondering what kind of maximum phase current I can run without smoking it.
 
This is very nice!!
Are you planning on doing a group buy or becoming a distrubutor with these?
How is the latest controller holding up?

This motor looks like it would great on a Motped.
 
The motor sounds too good to be true - 6kw continuous on 96V and with a very friendly 43kv speed constant. Thats only 4128 RPM so doesn't need too much gearing.

I saw that you're using 20S lipo battery? what sort of continuous power rating are you getting?
 
I just don't understand how the motor sits on one side only and what kind of sprocket mounting is possible. If you make as you said you would brackets for mtbikes and could extend that to making sprockets too I'd be dam interested in buying.

Weight, size and power of this thing is amazing as long as it doesn't destroy standard ebike controllers.

When you destroyed them did you monitor temperatures at all or was it sudden catastrophic or human error in building.

If this would run with a lyen or greentime 18 or 24 fet bring it on.
 
Hope this helps.

Thanks yes that does help.

I kind of have a feeling that I'd prefer some kind of bearing or support for the shaft sticking out on the right side. Why does it stick out on the right? Add a proppellor? Obviously you couldn't add a sprocket on that side as the torque would pull to hard with nothing supporting it.

I wonder how easy it is to remove the shaft to get machined or what not or even shortened or pulled back for lining up the motor....

Can Revolt custom key the ends?

cheers again.

yep revolt will do customations both on side covers and on the shafts, for pretty resonable prices too (custom shaft for me was about $15-20 iirc).
