Hey appreciate the video, I am attempting a brushless hub motor 350w upgrade. I will likely do what you've done if it doesn't work out. I'm unsure whether vesc is needed but I'm unsure which vesc to get.
Bro this is like so much more for not much more money. This is literally the same motor i have been considering, only i had no idea how to mount it. Bending some aluminum sounds like an interesting idea. Or maybe i will weld up a steel 90° plate. I love that we can bring cheaper alternatives to this crowd. Very nice video man. Would love to see a full speed ride video!
Also, it's interesting to hear your ride time of 40 mins. Brushless motors are supposed to be about 20-30% more efficient. Maybe it still is, but it's just so much more powerful that's why the battery is still only making it about 40 mins.
Francisco and Jack are me latest favourites youtubers for crazy cart mods. I've just created a cheap DIY method for extending drift bar for $10 no welding I might create a video for
@@BrandyMullens that's kind of you to say man. Personally I think his videos have better production value so maybe I'll try to step mine up a bit 😅 music seems to help a lot. It would be a nice contribution to make a video, I'd like to see it!
Yeah, these motors really beat up the lead acid packs granted I don't really like to run my batteries below 11v per cell so I have a small window of operating voltage. The nice thing is I can adjust the wattage and amps going to the motors for different tunes and extend that battery life.
love what you did bro, you should make a more detailed vid on bending/drilling the mount
Thanks man that video is coming soon!
The motor looks small when I look at it online. Does it have any cogging/ struggling at low speed, or is it mostly fine because the motor is sensored?
No issues at low speed super smooth

This Flipsky 57100 v2.0 should be fine if your staying under 72 volts and 100 amps
Can you use this setup on an xl? or do you recommend a different motor and controller?
Yo might want to go with a bigger motor for the XL since you got the space im working with my friend on a XL set up
@@DanielJack710 Awesome, please keep us updated on it! Would the same controller be compatible?

Thanks, definitely a good setup worth it for all the added features with the VESC Tool App, Currently editing the full build video. Should be up soon!

I'm guessing you still need to program the vesc?
I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way I can export my VESC tune that way you guys can download it and flash it onto yours
@@DanielJack710that's mighty thoughtful of you buddy
@@DanielJack710that would be great. Or maybe you can just screen shot all your settings or something similar
@@DanielJack710 awesome build! any way you can just share screen shots of the tune settings on the motor page?
@@benmerretz7200 Going to drop a video this week with a full VESC tune guide for the kart
How do you run the throttle?
I've been wondering this as well; the original throttle has 5 wires, and i think the VESC has only 3 throttle wires
