I really dunno about that mxus hub now, i don't like the torque curve compared with the Mac 10T hub! Only real benefit to the mxus hub is +10 mile range over the mac and even that is showing 50mile on 60v18Ah which is more than enough! Even if i use the Mac 6T to comparison the mxus has a load...

At least I wasn't alone thinking 20s... common sense 72v is double 36v which is 10s

Cheers dude 16s it is to keep it a more mainstream voltage... man dunno how I've got out of whack thought 72v was 20s o_O Doesn't bode well for doing batter calcs does it haha

User manual + YouTube. I already had a read through the manual for the lcd3 thats with the kit and also watched a couple of in-depth YouTube setup videos that take you through main, P & C settings in detail. Windings and poles are on the spec sheet for the motor (failing that I can just pull...

But I am worrying lol. If I go with a 15s pack and can't get a BMS, that makes life awkward if I finally decide to add them! Simple Pack redesign to 16s for component availability isn't a big deal now but may have been if I had the pack built lol

Ok, another dumb ass question.... by my math a 60v battery is 15s... (4x15=60) Can't find any 15s bms, but if I search for a 60v BMS I get 16s which is 64v???? How have I managed to confuse myself!

If its little more than than discharge protection and i would be adding an inline fuse anyway since its good practice would this not sufice? But I will take your advice into consideration and have plenty of time to mull it over!

I'm good for building supplies: battery wrap card, heat shrink, xt90s, nickel strip, assorted silicone wire from 8-24awg, tab welder, ts100 iron for small work and a big old Weller 80w chisel tip for battery tabs, kapton tape etc. Insulator rings ill just punch out of wrapping card. Like I...

I suppose it doesn't really matter if I do since the dropouts would be the same. I like having all the parts to hand so I can mock up and adapt as I go, just the way I prefer to work. Oh and Happy Monday btw :(

You wouldn't happen to have come across a kv or rpm @ ##v i can't seem to find that model or those specs... even on the MXUS site? I get the feeling that it's for a high road speed and i want torque, but if i have something to do the math with I can get a rough idea on final wheel size between...

Am i getting any closer with this MXUS XF40 kit?

Fair point, Already see the quality CS kicking in! "not recommended" was all the reply I got about running 72v. Back to the Mac motor... Was trying to keep it under the £1000 mark inc battery. Going down the Mac route is around £1200 exc rim & tyre. ps. Not trying to hide from you haha:D, was...

Came across this Pedalease 2in1 kit... Apparently the controller is in the hub, just wondered if anyone has used one of these and has any feedback? Apart from the obvious downside to this setup if either the motor or controller FUBAR its gonna mean replacing the whole shabang... But it seems...

ok... i cant keep up, im responding to something from 3 pages back. im just bumping myself! Sorry guys, i'm out

woo hold on there Tex.. I don't recall backpedaling on the HSE statement? Ok i accept that was rantish, but was solely based on my own experience and not something seen/heard elsewhere clarified by a 2nd personal account... I strongly believe it was a relevant analogy to shake the pot with...
