How do you change your username?:huh: And is there a way of changing the thread title? Ill have a look at monitoring after I've got it working. Ill see if using a Raspberry pi or Arudino for monitoring and controlling.

ok I'll do that then.:iagree: I mostly wanted to try the VESC was because it was very adjustable and it seemed cheaper than the scooter motor combo. so for controllers, what should i use...

ok I've now started researching different approaches to motor + controller. e-scooter controller and motor VESC v4 and e-scooter motor VESC v4 and RC motor advantages/disadvantages? The e-scooter stuff looks heavy but simple and the RC / skateboard stuff looks light (possibly more efficient)...

ok, I have got rid of the panasonic batteries (with not much loss). so what are my options? I could use: lead acid lithium ion lithium iron phosphate lithium polymer Am I right in saying LiFePo4 is the most expensive then li ion, lipo and then lead acid. I guess this depends on what and...

I have an IMAX B6 as I am in to building my own drones. The reason I'm not using it is because I want to test the cells so I know they are all good. And did you read FA's post? He pulled 80A without a controller. When he did have a controller max current was 25A. Also that is a burst current...

I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge and opinions. I will get a 18650 charger/tester to charge all the cells and test their resistance/capacity. if the cells are all the same in terms of resistance and capacity and are near their 'new' rated values, is it safe to say they are all the same...

ok, first of all they are not used batteries. They were taken out of a brand new pack and some where tested to prove that. I will further test their capacities myself to confirm. Second, what do you mean by levelled out?:huh: If they are used batteries or not, they are all the same. As long as...

hi all, I received the 110 Panasonics that I ordered (sorry Sid but id already bought them before you replied) but i think i can make this work. these cells cost £1.72 ($2.28) each and where taken out of a big li-ion battery for a project but the seller never got round to it. so i will be using...

I haven't got the motor yet, but I think it's about 5400rpm. I've go 11" tyres on the kart and I think a 50-60t sprocket.so gear ratio will be 5-6:1 but I might have to increase that. I will be using the vruzend v1.5 kit as the batts can only give 6A and I will be using 5A max. If I have a...

:welcome2::wai: I started this project about a year ago but had no time and money. I am now restarting the project and here's what I'm aiming for: 30mph:auto: Li-ion batteries Easy to maintain Not too expensive. So here's the parts I'm thinking: 2000w 48v brushless motor 2000w 48v brushless...

Battery technology?

Got a motor:thumbsup: I think i know which speed controller to buy. have my eye on this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-scooter-2000W-60V-Control-Unit-Will-Fit-Most-2000W-E-scooters-/302470781452?hash=item466ca9da0c:g:c5MAAOSwsW9Y0nu7 thanks Functional Artist for the wiring diagram...

ok so i think i have found a motor. http://www.hyperpowersports.com/products/brushless-2000-watt-60v-motor-w-mouting-bracket.html and a motor controller http://www.hyperpowersports.com/products/replacement-2000w-60v-controller.html only problem is i don't really know how to wire it. i could...

yeah you might be right about the sticker now that i look at it... is 1800w able to get my go kart anywhere near 30mph? thats my aim anyway. without using dual motors is their any other motors that are more powerful than that? like 2000w - 2500w?

its a boma 2000w brushless 48v http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Brushless-Motor-48-volt-2000-watt-Motor-chain-drive-for-New-MAF-X2000S-/232169152820?epid=1584251458&hash=item360e5c2134:g:6-kAAOSwXY5ZR7Xa
