DIY battery box for XR
-
Still considering all this: The final product (When firmware is good enough) will be moddable, repairable, upgradeable etc. All in your hands, so that is worth quite a lot. This provided that parts will remain available. At this rate it looks like it will and more options for vesc and bms will come. But again: how much will the greed be? Will prices go up more as popularity increases? Or go down, which is not likely since one tastes a good profit margin they tend to keep it or increase it.
Or...look at what happened to JW chip. Competition is key also i guess.

This is one of my main corcerns apart from the money, as I think the availability is not guaranteed whatsoever... So, not sure about it. It will be reparable/moddable/updagreadable as soon as there are parts... what about if we don't have... and just to find a vesc we have to go to the second hand and SUPEREXPENSIVE as there are just few options.

@maciak I have a Pint/ Ubox, 16s1p running right now with 5.3 firmware and Vesc_man's xml, but there are still issues running at slow speeds which I don't trust.
I also have a Xr/Plus platform with R7 and can run 17s max, that I can put the latest Xmls on it when the time comes.
I just don't trust the vesc right now and the last two NDs that hurt me were on the vesc, probably due to me riding with clenched cheeks.
Meanwhile, I'll ride the OW boards that are dead reliable .
On an impulse I did preordered the Superflux motor for the vesc builds, doesn't come with a tire as per advertisement. https://fungineers.tech/products/hub-motor-complete-with-tyre -

Vesc_man's xml
is this published somewhere or just floating around in the aether? it should be published, not traded around like some old pair of sneakers.

It's on the customwheel.shop site

@lemur What problems you have? Im taking the vesc out as long as it's dry and actually prefer the performance over my XR's.
-
@notsure How do you put xml files on here, tried and says I don't have enough privileges for that kind of action?
Also the xml is changing, improving and is not one size fits all, you have to input your own particular settings to it. Eg. voltages, footpad settings cells, a few others and your own motor configs. -
@notsure Also you want this FW
https://github.com/surfdado/bldc/releasesUse the file:"VESC_default.bin" relevant to your vesc.

@maciak No problems, riding, I did a short group ride and had no real problems, just the nose started to drop a bit riding over ripples and sharp bumps.
All a matter of trust for me, Surf is trying to merge some of his atr and vescman stuff , just waiting for that. -

@maciak I saw that , I have to check out the features and have to try that out. I see R7 and ubox is on the list, thanks.

XML is plain text. u can open it in notepad. isn't very human-readable however.
-
@lemur Yea the nose crapping out is still there. Noticeable clearly on tractor trails in dry mud. Basically frequent consecutive deep grooves. Did some crash test dummying on that issue: VESC loses it's shit balance wise, XR loses it motor wise on those spots.
For now i anticipate and "help" the board a bit recover. I must say i ve taken some gnarly trails and it just shines. Couple days ago i swapped to 20s setup and have no charger but im aching to jump back on it.
Edit: maybe we're going off topic here..zhe mozzerator might intervene😂

@notsure I opened it up in notepad. I can send it to you you via chat in stead of clogging up this forum?

If you want to post it in the reply without clogging up the chat you could use the spoiler feature to keep it from being too big? Button should look like this on the formatting ribbon.
Text featured between the markdown formatting will look like the below, clicking the button expands to show the text. Can be finicky sometimes if there are characters outside the spoiler but other than that works pretty well :)
Sneaky sneaky messagesEither highlighting the text and clicking the spoiler button or putting 2 "pipes" together (these things "|" ) either end of some text hides it like this.
Used it before on the "watching the leaderboard" thread to condense all the former entries I had ;)

@lemur Hmm apparently it doesn't like some of the characters.
I'll abuse admin privileges and upload it ;)
