What sprocket combo are you running now?

I usually use a hammer and screwdriver or chisel when they get stuck. You don't have much room on the inside, but you could probably just tap it angled upward from the outside and it will come up.

I wanted the active balancer because the pack has used cells in it and it quickly gets them within 0.005v when I top balance. A regular balancer would work too, albeit slower. Basically the controller expends some additional current at higher RPM to counteract the back-EMF where the motor...

The sketchyness along with an accompanying thumbnail made it my most quickly watched video that basically nobody watches. Sort of a 65mph lawnmower flip approach, except I am not willing to flip nor would the frame do it without actually hitting something going sideways. I'll turn up my RPM...

These smaller motors and controllers always looked like a grab bag situation. I'd gladly pay a little more if it meant getting actual documentation and technical data.

You only need one scale... just switch between tires.

I've noticed some Youtube channels using the commentary style even when talking about something else while riding (e.g., FortNine). It seems to work out pretty well.

The display is a Galaxy S10+ with DigiHud for my speedometer and the ENJPower app to monitor the battery cells (Bluetooth) along with GPS Logger in a pop-up to log GPS data. The phone is hooked to a Quad Lock weatherproof charging head that I swivel up with a motorcycle mount. It also has a rare...

I spent some time and reassembled the packs and got them on the kart with the active balancer. There is still a bit to do to clean up the wiring (ran out of loom) and I am switching to an isolated 12v system for my lights and other accessories (parts on the way). I took a little video of the...

Switch to 48v and get a higher rated motor. You'll need a higher voltage battery that can also handle the current as well. I got a Currie motor and some other parts from electricscooterparts.com with no issues so I was considering buying the new stuff from them. They have appropriate 25mm...

When clutch begins to engage, it slips. It needs to engage far enough below your maximum rpm to engage fully, so you lose the increased torque at the top of your 1st gear. Whenever you're in that partial engagement band it will slip and heat up and you're losing the torque in that rpm region...

You can get wheels from azusaparts (get the wide ones for the back) and the slicks from eBay. I've never had an issue with even a hint of rolling over and my kart is definitely not as wide as yours.

What about 13x5.00-6 tires?

What diameter are the tires?

I read "Steering is a bit iffy in the front" while just the first picture with no wheels on the kart was on the screen and thought, "well, there's your problem". That's a pretty good looking build with hydraulic brakes and all. What kind of cells are those? If you were to mount some tires...

The charger should work fine and you will actually have near 100% of your power available at 3.5v per cell (84v total) while improving cell life. You may already be aware, but be careful with that battery. Both your motor and controller are rated to pull more current than your battery pack is...

I have a dune buggy as well that I have modified and will likely be updating again since my oldest is getting bigger. Electric motors output high torque from zero rpm and drop as back-EMF increases at higher rpm. A clutch or torque converter will reduce effective torque. You don't want that...

Yeah, I thought they were trying to convince themselves it was working at the same time they were trying to sell it. Greasing the tires on smooth concrete to show it can spin tires? It just seems like an expensive placebo the way it is designed. The money would be much better spent on a better...

Yeah... I wouldn't look to CarsandCameras as paragons of safety and I know they wouldn't claim it. An open face helmet and shorts are pretty much their standard safety equipment. I think the precautions he took were only because of how scary the steering is on that frame at speed when you don't...

A lot of this hobby's allure for me is the repeated challenge of coming up with ideas and making them work. That's why I didn't do something like buy a NineBot GoKart and call it a day. I think Functional Artist has the same problem in a way. This configuration can run the motor at high enough...
