How to upgrade Your Evolve Carbon GT GTR to Evolve Hadean ⚡️ EvolveSkateboard FOCBOX TENKA ⚡️ PART 1

[@ryanschulz9893]

how to upgrade evolve gtr: replace literally everything

[@davidmiller4758]

I do like the deck kinda. But I think the m5 from unknown boards take on it is better cause the double drop

[@davidmiller4758]

God this guy has to change so many little parts to make this work lol it's ridiculous

[@davidmiller4758]

Dude went the extra mile to bottle neck himself lol. New battery upgrade new esc upgrade carbon fiber deck spacer for the tenka but still rocking the stock motors, and even cut and replaced hall sensors to fit to do so. Why not just upgrade some motors for like 260$

[@davidmiller4758]

Upgrade the motors from there* so you don't gotta replace the sensors

[@ryanschulz9893]

@@davidmiller4758 I mean the m5 isn’t even sold or supported anymore they boards broke a lot too apparently but I could be wrong about that last thing

[@thetunows]

now we just need to remove the limiter on the hadean when that comes out to go even faster😂

[@deadpool_mwtm]

Mate, your channel is seriously underrated - you rock! Great production quality, as well as well as the content!) Great job)

[@richardlong7075]

What did you do about the Evolve remote no longer working since you switched ESCs? Did you just get yourself a VESC compatible remote? Seems like you forgot to mention that bit of info.

[@AmaliePreecha]

Now that its impossible to buy a focbox tenka, anyone have an alternative that would fit size wise

[@RUSSURF]

@evolveSkateboards This is a very common problem with first boards. now they use Bluetooth. But they did not make the possibility of upgrading for old boards.

hey have you done it on the gtr models? I can't get the esc out of the board. it has a plastic enclosure that even taking the screws out of the bottom enclosure still won't come out. any help ?

[@ShadrikEaston]

Does this mean you can get rid of that ridiculous evolve remote with the separate throttle and brake? :o+

[@alston523]

What kind of remote you used after swap to vesc? Thanks

[@doug_errickson]

Awesome videos man. Well done and thanks.

[@dynamicesk8771]

Question: I have bought a Tenka in preparation for a new battery and motors, Is it possible to put the Tenka in with a stock GTR BMS and battery/ motors? From what I've seen it looks ok but I've also heard that evolves BMS is pretty unique and hard to work with. Thanks!

[@Ash-bx6kq]

Just check the stock battery voltage to make sure it's within the range for the tenka. I also don't know what the stock batteries continuous discharge rate is, and you'll wanna know that so that you don't have the vesc drawing more current than the battery can provide

[@dynamicesk8771]

@@Ash-bx6kq My battery is a stock GTR battery that's a 14Ah, 504Wh 10s4p pack. Im having a hard time finding out more about the battery itself and keep coming across the same few pieces of info.

Nice work! Looking forward to part 2 😍

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@katchowski]

Hi, I am hoping to do something similar to this with my evolve stoke board and I was wondering if you could answer some questions that I had regarding this as I don't have much experience upgrading PEVs.

[@kingesk8]

Your videos are always the best an I enjoy watching it

[@RutrakI]

Thanks 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@DavidDennis58]

Fantastic, exactly what I need. What remote are you using? Flipsky VX2?

Hello and in advance excuse me but I speak Spanish and I am using a translator jjjj good I am a newbie in electronics and I have a project in mind which is to build an RC fishing boat. for my son and the boat is a bit big and I have an Evolve Bamboo gtr and I want to know if I can adapt a radio control of several channels is to use the entire system of the evolve ??. thanks for your help.

[@noluck3727]

wen part 2, sir? #Evolve #Hadean #unicorn 🦄

[@RutrakI]

First I have to buy proper 63xx motors 😜

[@looseconcretor]

How did you work out which motor controller wires went in to the new pt connectors? When there’s 6 pins on the tenka and only 5 wires wash side from the evolve motors? Was it just leave the extra one or spare one empty? Cheers love the vid

[@cadud2000]

Im new to evolve gtr world. So this unlocks more potential from the board? From stock? Any more info for me guys?

[@RutrakI]

Range about 35-40km for 90kg riders and power depend on new battery and motors :P

[@cadud2000]

@@RutrakI stock gtr battery and motors? Would it have more power or is this only really worth it with motor upgrade? As far as i no there is no battery upgrade option for the gtr?

[@RutrakI]

Only stock motors for GT, for GTR stock battery will be ok. From my point of view it’s worth - you can use FOC, you can modify power, you will have more range

[@cezarykorecki7641]

@@RutrakI Hej Rutrakl ! Posiadam Bamboo GTR. Czy istnieje możliwość zwiększenia mocy (chodzi mi o polepszenie przyspieszenia) bez konieczności wymiany silników? czy ewentualny zysk mocy byłby za mały aby myśleć o modyfikacjach bez zmiany silników?

[@RutrakI]

Siemanko @@cezarykorecki7641 ! Generalnie najlepszym rozwiązaniem byłaby zmiana sterownika, na którym mógłbyś sobie regulować "moc", natomiast oryginalna bateria Evolva będzie tutaj kluczowym problemem, bo nie wyciśniesz z niej więcej (bezpiecznie dla ogniw), niż masz teraz. Także wymiana baterii i esc na początek pozwoli CI zwiększyć moc oraz zasięg, jak będzie nadal mało to wtedy silniczki :P

[@adobo1976]

I've had a similar modification done to mine and can't find the technician anymore. The board's range has dropped to about half. I believe he also used the VESC tool to program the board as well. Is there an easy way to troubleshoot the battery to verify the cells are the problem?

[@daveblack9352]

Hi, was wandering if you could do this type of upgrade to the GTR Bamboo?

[@dotta4763]

Hi mate great video. Will this make it perform like a Haeden both on speed and battery life ?

[@andrewtaylor8997]

Hi! awesome vid! Im looking to upgrade my GT carbon, what brand motors would you recommend, & what is the biggest size motors you can fit on the GT. I was looking at some Flipskys, but unsure on sizing. Cheers

[@RutrakI]

The biggest one that fits to Evolve trucks are 6374 motors 🤙🏻

[@samjosemolina2536]

where did you get the power button on your carbon gt upgrade video

[@RutrakI]

I used power button from tenka. It is inside the box

[@nozzah7771]

Don't suppose this is possible with a bamboo gtr 🥺

[@RutrakI]

It is possible but with 10s4p battery 😁 you you want bigger battery like 12s6p you have to print some additional spacer 😉

[@yanzodadon]

Gave it a like and comment so the algorithm picks it up. Great stuff 👌🏽

[@RutrakI]

Thanks Bro 🙌🏻

[@chrisneru6564]

Easy pesto

[@phizicks]

that looks like a Carbon GT, not GTR. Is that a legit focbox, looks like of the clones isn't it? The GT was garbage with pouch cells, mine died 2 days after buying it and Evolve wouldn't accept a refund. No where near a hadean with 130KVA motors, replace it with something better, at least a 6368 with 170KVA

[@RutrakI]

This is Carbon GT - like in title :) This is legit focbox - new version :) There will be new motors in next part like I wrote on the end of video :)

[@phizicks]

@@RutrakI i'm sure you changed the title :P

[@seven.day.weeknd]

Is there a 12s battery for the Carbon GTR available anywhere?

[@ajplant96]

You can have them made by a local battery builder, I have a 12s3p 21700 battery in my carbon gtr that cost $600 to have made, not the same range and power the hadean battery provides but not far off for an overall cheaper upgrade than buying a whole new board.

[@seven.day.weeknd]

@@ajplant96 did you have to upgrade any other components? That might increase power and range

[@ajplant96]

@@seven.day.weeknd It’s a full system upgrade like the video is showing so you need to replace the esc, remote, motors, etc as well. Basically you get the same range but more power. Not as much as the hadean but enough to be satisfied with a gtr again for $800 or so less.

[@seven.day.weeknd]

@@ajplant96 I like the power for for urethane but would love more distance and maybe top speed

[@ajplant96]

@@seven.day.weeknd That’s fair, hadean will probably suit your needs then if the price is no issue

[@Esk8Nomad]

Isn’t the Hadean 12s 4p tho ?

[@contorta960]

Yes, 48 cells Vs 50 here. They're 21700 higher capacity so despite there being 2 cells more in this configuration it has a lower wattage. He seems to be going for range over speed but I think just for the purposes of the video it's what was available. You can fit 12S4P, not the 21700's as they'd be too big I think but 18650's would be sound.

[@RutrakI]

Yeap, totally right ! I chose range over power but you can put also 12s4p Sony vtc5a or vtc6 18650 cells to have more power 🤙🏻

[@Esk8Nomad]

@@contorta960 fair enough

[@ajplant96]

The idea is basically it’s just a nice upgrade to an older board without having to spend up to 3x the price for the new board. Evolve’s track record for long lasting parts isn’t great either so having options for things like different ESCs and motors is a good trade off in value if you’re happy without the 21700 cells (12s3p 21700 cells will fit in a CGTR deck easily with a small range extender battery in a top box if more range + power is desired though.)

[@Esk8Nomad]

@@ajplant96 fair enough bud

[@evilmonstar6910]

I will probably do this with my old GT. It has a brand new battery but for some reason doesn’t run well. I think this will do the trick. What remote are you using with this?

[@RutrakI]

Great decision 🤙🏻 I’m using flipsky VX2 but better will be remote which is connected via PPM so probably I will change it for flipsky VX1 - unfortunately without display 😥
