Thor vesc in a Xr/Plus controller box
-
Thor 300 fits nicely in an stock Xr/Plus controller housing.
-
Curiosity.
Are the two small boards on either side of the box light controllers for your front and rear LEDs? If so, which ones are they.
-
@highspeeddirt There are two buck converters , one for 3 volts for the front light and the other for 5 volts for the adruino nano for the rear led lights.
The Thor vesc supports front and rear led lights by itself, without buck converters and nano, but there is a lot of confusing wiring diagrams out there.
I will get that sorted out and redo the lights later, but this is a working temporary solution for now. -
@lemur oh of course. This the tiny board fans to cool the conversion. Is there any reason to go beyond a Thor to say an x12 or can the Thor handle pretty much anything the x12 can?
-
@highspeeddirt Up to 20s (84v) the Thor is perfect, it runs cooler than most vescs, also come with a embedded bt , although you have one extra step to connect to it .
The Tronic X12 is good if you want 24s or 30s, but a bit pricey $450 us. -
@lemur that's about what I figured. The 30S version seems appealing for my current build interest. I do a lot of downhill riding. I started out on a long board bombing hills. Speed doesn't scare me and my ankles are in great control of a one wheel, even with a high psi.
I'm looking to build a setup that can handle a lot of braking power. Coming up to a corner at 30mph and not knowing if trust the board to stop or tail slide through the turn is a bit concerning.
I have a 20s2p 250r GT that I am looking to upgrade from. Even with that setup, I can't seem to get it to fully support the amount of control I need for the corners.
I'm looking to build out a custom controller box to fit an extra 20cells and possibly run the x12.
