Nice! Can you post pics?

I have an AEM meth kit sitting here. Spraying meth pre-compressor (and they say into the volute) has the same effect as getting a larger compressor - in the words of ProjectFarm on YouTube, "we're gonna test that." I have several nozzles and will test at least volute injection. I'm getting to...

Lol - nice!

I'm happy to test if for you, but it might be a bit (I just finished pulling the engine tonight; I've got a major work project this week) - but I can try maybe this upcoming weekend or next week, if that's ok.

^ I think that's a good way to look at it. What we care about is total power in the system (without becoming wildly inefficient anyway) - that's watts. Duty cycle is an element that lets you get to maximum power in the system. For example, I was running into problems with the VESC setup and...

I did ask the LMT guys about temps, and he said that my temps (about 130-140* F - about 55-60* c was "laughably low.") Considering neodymium magnet start to gradually lose their magnetic strength at 80* c (but recover), and by 100* c they suffer permanent demagnetization; maybe they're using...

Wow. That's pretty cool. I wonder what the rotor's made from.

No. I'm talking about the current being drawn from the battery vs the current pulses going to the motor. VESC and APD both show it in their logs; MGM doesn't. Let me give you an example - if you're motor's running at 50% duty cycle, then power is only going to the motor half the time. So the...

Lol - I've been trying to get that link to work forever - I never bothered to translate the error I would get (it's in German - everytime I see German, I just hear Sergeant Schultz's voice in my head (from Hogan's Heroes) and everything goes blank). Thanks to drother's screen shot, (and knowing...

Thanks! That is the best description I've been able to find by far!

I was told that you don't feel cogging when fewer poles - so my TP Power motors cog pretty hard (6 pole); my Castle motor cogs a little (you can feel it, but it doesn't really make it difficult to turn - it has 4 poles); my 2 pole LMT motor spins smoothly. I'd love to see some sort of diagram...

That's good info. I think since this is the first OEM unit easily available, the CAN data will either be deciphered or a relatively easy work around will be developed. At least I hope so...

Nice. Are you still using drill rod?

drother - where did you find that chart? I'd love to see one for my 5 wind 30100 lmt motor.

The bearings in my TP Power motor aren't rated for the speeds the motor can turn. I wonder if that's an issue here? WB could be right - it could also be surge beating things up.

I'll hopefully be able to do some meaningful testing with the Castle motor and the P2 unit soon - I've already spun it up on low power and it's a lot better than the TP power motor, at least with the vesc. Dunno if it'll take as much power yet though.

True. Lol about the weather - for me, it's too hot to race or go to the dyno - it was 96* F today (~36* C); there's a window here in the fall and in the spring, then winter's too cold. The nice thing about Texas (where I bought land) - it's cooler in the summer than here, and all of winter...

Someone sent me a link to a company that makes alot of these wheels... unfortunately I don't remember where it was... It is pretty amazing how cheaply they can do this stuff. I wonder what will happen if they attack Taiwan? When do you think you'll have your stuff back together?

I found this today - a guy is drilling holes in copper sheet, soldering nickel strips to the sheet, and then spot welding the nickel sheet to the cells. But your solution might be better. Check it out (scroll down a bit): https://www.electricbike.com/introduction-battery-design-2/
