So it begins...... Battery spot welder

[sternwake]

A late night full throttle cruise on the 538 watt skate, revealed some weirdness, that had me dreading the long push home, but a coast and resume throttle had it respond again with less torque and top speed.

Hub motors did not seem too hot and esc heatsinks below plastic housing did not seem to be radiating excessive amounts of heat, so perbaps it was the first time i waz at top speed and full throttle when some battery voltage threshold was passed and the esc had a transistor fart.

Or maybe some stray 2.4ghz signal interference.

But i now have even less faith in the reliability of the board.

I ordered a 10s Puaida branded ESC. The remote has a digital odometer and speedometer, , separate power and brake settings, field oriented motor ontrol, and hopefully the brakes are not dangerously erratic.

There is a slowboat 6s,7s,10s ESC en route too, so both skates will likely be getting 10s Batteries made for them but then I will have no use for existing functional chinese assembled 7s baTteries.
