sean-vrs Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I've recently been doing my homework on a electric trials bike for minime and it got me thinking, the bikes come with variable power/punch and speed controls all from a 200a esc, the motor will take upto 48volts and have been clocked at 36mph with a 80kg man onboard, the size looks right to fit, would this work in a losi or would the torque kill the drivetrain, I'm just think out loud so opinions please http://osetbikes.com/gb/parts/motors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 36mph with an 80kg load, should easily see 50mph in a 5ive platform... It should be possible. I was actually checking out some mx bikes a few weeks ago, and they had the new KTM electric bikes in there, we got to talking about how fast some electric RCs are and stuff and he said someone had been working on putting one of those into a radio control vehicle or another. Unfortunately, that's all the information I got about it. Having said that, if you're looking at that kind of money, then surely the MGM route would be more viable? Perhaps that's why it's not a common conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 The oset controllers are here http://osetbikes.com/gb/parts/controllers/ a lot cheaper than mgm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 My point wasn't necessarily that they were cheaper. What I meant was, if you are investing such a huge amount in an unknown thing, it really cuts down the amount of people who are even willing to gamble with it. Even fewer who actually do it lol.

NuttyProfessor Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 thing is, using a controller like that involves using manual brake switches to cut the power to the motor, different types of wiring for throttle control etc. My 1600w Evo powerboard only uses a 100a controller with a brushless motor and propels me to 30 mph and I'm nearly 16 stone. The motor is huge too to deliver the power needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
