can i use a fardriver controller for my 72v 3000w vevor motor ?

[@EmxBrandon]

@@TERP4 yeah of course!

[@TERP4]

@@EmxBrandon which model would you recommend i plan to upgrade to a qs motor in the future

[@EmxBrandon]

@Rory Finazzo the controller im using is basically a 72660 and its the same one i used on my buddys qs138 90h swapped ssr. So i have a ton of head room for a future qs swap. Definitely the way to go! I would check out the line up and decide for yourself as im not too up to date of whats new but probably a 72530 or something around 500+ phase amps and around 200 line amps. And youll be ready for a 15kw build in the future.

[@EmxBrandon]

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

One note. High brake means that it works with 12V, so you can use a signal from your brake light levers switch. Low brake means that it works with ground signal. What ever of them you use will have two functions; deactivate the motor and activate the regen braking if activated. But regen will be only work if activated at the software parameters. So you can use any of those signals to stop the motor and avoid the motor pulling against your brakes.

[@EmxBrandon]

Great addition! Those 2 are some of the things i never hook up since i do wheelies and feather the brake while using throttle the low brake just wouldnt work out for me but thinking about it now i could totally use that on a switch for when its parked just incase someone comes up and grabs the throttle. Curiosity always get them 😆 high brake would be cool with a brake light setup on a more street or drag racing orientation. Me personally i use the feature eabs when release that kicks on regen by releasing the throttle, feels more like traditional engine brake. Definitely appreciate the input and expand on more info for everyone!

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

@@EmxBrandon Glad to help :)

[@gonzalop.chomon327]

@@EmxBrandon Yes, you can use that function as well as a safety device. Some controllers even have a separate signal input for that safety purposes. ie: Many bike has a micro switch that triggers that signal if it stand leg is open. Or activated with charging lead so it is not possible to start the vehicle if it is charging. Or like a dead man pedal. Etc.

Your videos are really informative and to point. I have a question to do auto learning on Fardriver controller can the motor be installed and chain on sprocket or chain removed from sprocket?

[@tyt6877]

Thx for the video, have me seriously considering buying one of these controllers for my 48v vevor mx500. Question, how much of an improvement would this controller be over the stock controller that came with the vevor? My main issue with the stock one is the jerky throttle response. How much would the ND72240 controller improve this right out of the box if I decided not to change anything?

[@EmxBrandon]

Right out of the box youll definitely have to do an auto learn. Ill have a video up in a couple weeks showing some basic tuning and knowledge to help get your set up dialed! The throttle response and modulation will be a massive improvement over the vevor controller, those things are basically on off switches lol. Those cheap controllers will mever compare to a tuneable controller like the votol or fardriver. But the best part about fardriver is the ease of use and bluetooth app for tuning on the fly off your phone. What amps is your battery rated for? I would honestly recommend a 72300 for that extra overhead and ability to turn it up more later on.

[@VOLT-EDGETV]

Hella good video helped me wire up the key switch on my new kit, how was tuning out the box I hear they set them high!!l? I got a qs90 with the ND72300

[@EmxBrandon]

Hell yeah glad i could help! Definitely seem like they have all been set to max line and phase amps from the ones ive had my hands on. Definitely double check everything before you do your autolearn! The qs90 shpuld be avle to handle everything that controller has though as long as you got the battery for it 🤙

[@VOLT-EDGETV]

@@EmxBrandon yessir got that amorge 36ah 240a con 400a burst, does it auto learn just like the Kelly's? I have the app and Bluetooth dongle and have looked at the power settings, just hesitant cause I don't wanna fry the controller I'm looking forward to seeing that tuning vid you're gonna do!

[@EmxBrandon]

@Kenneth Benson im not too sure how it compares to a kelly. Super simple though just gotta connect to the app go to the second page and hit auto learn, gotta have the chain off and motor spinning free, once its beeping at you twist the throttle fully and it will spin forward for a bit then backwards just keep on the throttle till it stops and beeps 2 times then your good! The controller will only pull as many amps as its set too so burning it wont be an issue! Amorge for the win!!

Haha thanks for watching! Ive been super busy working on other stuff like my buddys dirtbikes and whatnot. I just gotta make some time so i can fab up my sx swing arm to get that motor mounted.

[@dynz]

@@EmxBrandon looking forward bud. myself i bought a broken 2016 kuberg freerider which i'll be replacing components on, starting with the controller. it's a bit shit cause everything's colour coded differently but steadily figuring it out.

[@chadpipkin840]

Sweet video now can you do the same with the qs165 lol

[@EmxBrandon]

The encoder model will have different wire colors. But if you have a hall version this method will work with any motor you stick to a fardriver! And once you do an auto learn it will get you really close to a good tune, then its all about dialing it in for your personal feel.

[@schmeglyomigy6174]

Right now I have an 1800w 52v setup so just to make sure I can use the same controller for a 72v 3000w setup right

[@EmxBrandon]

Yup! 48-72v will work fine! Just set your low voltage protect to 39

[@hazza3651]

question do these fardriver controllers send infomation to a screen like voltage watts and other things?

[@EmxBrandon]

They do if they are programmed for one-line communication. Something you have to ask for specifically. Most of us just use displays that use hall signal though but those dont display amp output

[@RazorRipperr]

25:28 just to be clear, that read o ring terminal connected on top of the battery is the volt meter correct?

[@EmxBrandon]

Yes that red wire with the ring terminal bolted with battery positive powers both the volt meter and controller on.

[@mdcskate22]

Awesome video! If I'm not using an ignition, (my throttle appears to be the same brand, but has the 3 speed and no ignition) do I just ignore the orange wire?

[@EmxBrandon]

Youll need to hook up some sort of ignition, orange to battery positive is how the controller is turned on, so any kinda key switch or on off button inbetween that!

[@EmxBrandon]

But for your throttle yes just hook up red, green, black for throttle and blue, yellow black, to whatever 3 speed wires you have! Yellow is mode 3 and blue is mode 1, with black being ground or mode 2 when nothings grounded to it.

[@mdcskate22]

Ok, so would the stock on/off switch on the battery cover work, or do I need an additional switch?

[@EmxBrandon]

@mdcskate22 that will work perfect!

​@@EmxBrandon Thank you!

[@CuongNguyen-xv2cm]

What kind of speedometer compatible with the One-lin wire (blue) of fardriver ? I have try some cheap china speedo but not work (they work good with Votol IC One-line wire)

[@EmxBrandon]

The fardriver need to be programmed to send one line signal. You most likely have a controller that does not and will need to use a display that gets signal from a hall wire like a ct22. I had a similar issue with my qs165 kit that came with a fardriver and dkd display. They ended up sending me a new fardriver that had the firmware for one line signal

[@dennisohashi007]

WOW awesome video! Do you know if setup will be the same for a qs90? Also will your tune work for a qs90? Thanks in advance for any help.

[@EmxBrandon]

Any motor you can slap on will work with this wiring setup! The only difference will be in the tune itself. Otherwise the throttle and all that stuff is wired the same.

I just replied to a different comment you just left. But is the controller beeping? Make sure your wires are pinned and seated correctly in the connector housing. Double check everything. Make sure you set your temp sensor setting in the app along with low voltage cutoff if your using anything less than a 72v battery.

Yup! All you gotta do is change your low voltage protect down to whatever is dead for 52v and you can run it no problem and slap a 72v on later with bo changes. I just hooked up my 72450 with a 48v for now and it works awesome!

It’s a bit disappointing to hear it doesn’t change the actual electronic feel but I should have figured.

@schmeglyomigy6174 yup! Thats exactly what im trying to say, feels solid and heavier so when your twisting the throttle you feel it pulling against you which makes for better modulation.

Honestly i always do one thing at a time and dont just cut a bunch of stuff, so ive never got the 3 speed and throttle ground mixed up. Id imagine it doesnt matter since ground is shared. But worst case test everything before making the connectors.

Ahh i gotcha, yeah if im not totally sure ill plug the pins in together without them in the connector and turn the controller on, go through the modes make sure they change and give it a little throttle to make sure its working. After ive confirmed then ill pin the connectors. And for the volt/key combo, on the fardriver look for a red 2 pin connector with pink and black. Youll put green to pink, black to black, and red to the orange ignition. Then you should be all set!

[@emmittlumelleau311]

Is this as hard as it looks

[@EmxBrandon]

Id say the tuning is the hardest part, if your like me once you get this in your hands and sort out which wires are for what and start one at a time its super easy!

[@OMT.Flattrack.MotoSchool]

Yes,immediatly..

[@EmxBrandon]

Idk what bell means? Are you saying it's beeping? Did you finish the video and set up the controller? You have to get it set up and do the autolearn to get it to stop beeping.

[@OMT.Flattrack.MotoSchool]

I watched the whole video and the 3 connections are correct, I checked them 1000 times. but as soon as I turn it on and apply voltage it starts to ring, it stops if I accelerate (the wheel turns in reverse) and as soon as the wheel stops it starts to ring again...

[@EmxBrandon]

@@OMT.Flattrack.MotoSchool you need to finish autolearn! Chain off, hold the throttle wide open until it spins one way then the other and beeps twice. Then its finished.

[@OMT.Flattrack.MotoSchool]

@@EmxBrandon ok'll try and inform you Thanks soo much for now👍🏻

[@OMT.Flattrack.MotoSchool]

But my motor is a QSmotor on wheel ,no chain....🤔

[@that_Vnstr]

It all looks expensive, I would do this if i had the money to do it but i dont and might do a gas swap instead

[@EmxBrandon]

Gas swaps will always be cheaper, its so easy to walk into a tool store and pick up a 200 dollar predator engine, or find a engine on market place. Electric is definitely an expensive hobby whether you diy it or buy ug and play. The battery prices are what really get ya.

[@that_Vnstr]

@@EmxBrandon yeah, luckily my buddy has a old gx160 that he is giving to me with a mini frame and some money for a mini frame i have, might post a video of it all finished up one day

I'm confused you said the controller sucks then you say it's good?

[@EmxBrandon]

The siayq72180 version sucks they have the modes programmed goofy as hell. If you buy a fardriver get it from the source!! Email fardriver directly. I got this controller from a kit off aliexpress from siaecosys

No past no go

Straight to jail

[@schmeglyomigy6174]

How much does it cost for this whole controller setup with all the wiring and the controller

[@EmxBrandon]

Depends on the controller and throttle you get. Probably around 300- 350

[@schmeglyomigy6174]

@@EmxBrandon Ok thanks. For the cheapest (least power) controller, how much would that be from fardriver?

[@EmxBrandon]

@@schmeglyomigy6174 72240 would be the cheapest, but 72300 s12 would be best. Those are around 120-140?

[@schmeglyomigy6174]

@@EmxBrandon Ok nice. So with the throttle that would be like $150 right? Also I’m experiencing trouble with battery voltage sag when throttling. Would I be able to set the fardriver voltage cutoff to none because my current controller shuts off while i’m throttling

[@EmxBrandon]

@schmeglyomigy6174 depends on the throttle you get, the knock off surron throttles are 40 bucks. Plus youll need assorted waterproof connectors with the pin crimpers and some other stuff like volt meter on/off switch. And you dont wanna change low voltage cutoff, youll destroy your battery. Sounds like you have a bad cell or parallel group in your battery already if its sagging real bad. Nothing on the controller settings can change that.

[@bennyblaze4571]

My fardriver keeps beeping seven times. No power to throttle or motor any suggestions?

[@EmxBrandon]

Do you have a temp sensor on your motor? If not you meed to change temp sensor to none in the app.

[@bennyblaze4571]

I appreciate the quick reply. You're the only one who got back to me... That's another issue I'm having. The link to the QR code isn't working.

[@EmxBrandon]

Are you on Android or iPhone? If iphone just type fardriver in the app store. If android go to your google search bar and type "fardriver app for android" then click the first link with the page that shows the bluetooth dongle with a small green box on the bottom left that says download. Make sure your permissions are turned on and download the app. Once app is downloaded it will ask for a verification code. Type your email and send code to email. Type 6 digit code back into the fardriver app and hit verify. Once your connected to the app in the comm page make sure to press bound to controller. Once all that is complete you can go to the paras page and hit open pro and tune your controller freely

[@bennyblaze4571]

So I downloaded the app on my daughter's apple. All good there. Now, still beeping seven times and no power to motor

[@EmxBrandon]

@bennyblaze4571 did you do the binding process? After thr binding process you need to change temp sensor to none. If your running a battery less than 72v youll also need to change your low voltage protect. Once all that is finished you need to run the auto learn process, all explained at the end of the vid!

[@michaelg8191]

im getting confused because im using a 3 wire throttle and a seperate 3 wire keyswitch and volt meter.

[@EmxBrandon]

The throttle is straigh forward, green to green black to black and red to red. For the voltmeter key combo you will have 3 wires. The black will go to ground. On the fardriver harness look for a red 2 pin connector it will have pink and black. Put your voltmeter/key black to that black on red 2 pin. Now you have 2 wires left most likely green and red and youll have a 50 50 shot no risk of getting it wrong. Take that pink wire that was next to the black on the red 2 pin on fardrivet and twist it to one of those left over wires on voltmeter/key (for testing! then you can pin them when your sure) and for the last wire on volt/key, twist it to the lone orange wire. If you get those 2 backwards the only thing that will happen is the volt meter will stay on even if key is off. If thats the case switch the wires and your done!

Whats that?

@@EmxBrandon what were you saying about three speed? Like some controller are different some it doesn't work right? I didn't see this before and I ordered one random off AliExpress so just curious. Sorry voice text messed up first one up I didn't see 😆

[@EmxBrandon]

@Razorcrew_Cole haha all good bro! Yeah the controller i got was siayq72180 which was a fardriver with firmware siaecosys used, as long as you got a "nd" or "ns" series your good! The one i had just have a goofy throttle ramp in mode 1 and 2 but hopefully those controllers have all disappeared 😆 it was ordered in a motor kit btw and i dont think they sold them stand alone.

[@christianpaulroldan4010]

I think votol is much better than that or djb

[@EmxBrandon]

For a first time user the fatdriver blows votol out the water for usability. Votol has great throttle control but a fardriver will deliver all the amps!

@@EmxBrandon okay but votol is better on battery consumption. . I mean amps is adjustable also on votol

[@bareassbarepuss]

How fast does that 48v go? I have a 3k 72v that goes around 33mph, just wondering if I build that same model how fast will the razor 500 go?

[@EmxBrandon]

Its gonna depend on the motor, with the mototec motor i plan on installing i imagine it will do around 40 on 48v since it responds to weakening so well. If your using a my1020 youll probably get around the same speed your getting now but with alot of torque, but with the my1020 motors you can gear them up and get more speed at the loss of torque. I still have to fab the motor in though to really find out

[@bareassbarepuss]

@@EmxBrandon thank you last question is it cheaper to do an E&C kit or what ur doing?

[@EmxBrandon]

Its always cheaper to go the diy route but takes alot of time to study and learn how things work. I can show you the way but its your job to make sure you know what your doing, one mistake could cost you a motor or controller and end up making it expensive! The kits are nice if you dont plan on changing power levels or tuning to your specific riding, more of a one and done kinda deal. But learning a controller and how to wire them up opens alot of possibilities to more motors and power levels.

[@ChrisR-fc1oq]

@@bareassbarepuss Don't default to E&C kits. They were closer to first to do it but not the best at this point. For instance, they can't do what Brandon's set up does here. And more $!
