Replacing a motor controller on a Dualtron Thunder

[@davedeluria]

Fantastic video! Keep 'em coming! My personal request is changing the headset bearings and cups which is one of the darndest things to do.

[@szymonkoprowski4799]

Great videos!! Would you be able to make a quick video on how to replace the controller on the Dualtron Victor?

[@kianward5999]

that was just amazing content great channel bro thanx for shairing this great content stunning work bro

[@ovidiualba9648]

Interesting, just bought a replacement minimotors front controller, and surprise, instead of 9 wires it got 14, can't be installed without modification which will void the warranty, Dualtron doesn't seems to have much infos, sellers don't know about new generation of controllers which won't fit with the existing wiring, well done Dualtron, well done

[@nonyabizness8692]

im having the same issue. the new controller isn't a 1-1 match like the old controller. i did the best i could, but now i have a random white cable with nothing to plug to. im at a loss. I sent an email but haven;t heard back just yet. but these guys are pretty good with helping if you get hold to them

[@dualtronthundernyc6503]

Appreciate these video and hope I never to use them for repairs but glad you do them. My Thunder has had no issues 🤞

[@GamesNShit]

Planning on buying one soon and was wondering if it was easy to maintain and repair... so far so good!! just need to keep saving monay!!!

[@satur9satur9]

Great videos. I have a request. Can you do a quick video on how to tighten down stem release clamp properly. I was under the impression that these shouldn't loosen up once closed. But mine loosens up constantly

[@davedeluria]

This is the perennial issue of dualtrons. You have to watch for it creeping up. You can lock it down with all your might but you will eventually break the QR washers or bolt so best to just keep it tight but not enough to cause breakage and watch for it creeping up every so often.

[@satur9satur9]

@@davedeluria I've actually wrapped velco around it.just always wondered if I was doing it correctly. I've read up on them on bike forums who all say QR clamps aren't supposed to loosen. But I tighten it enough so there no back and forth on the stem.but even normal riding will cause you to apply a lot of pressure to stem. Which I believe causes it to loosen. I might just replace it with a Allen head bolt and lock washer. I keep the tool on me anyway.

[@woltee8011]

You have to clamp it with the handle perpendicular to the direction of travel. If you try to clamp it with the clamp handle in the other orientation, it does not have room to snap into place due to the steering column getting in the way.

Thanks for the video, The gray color wires that aren’t plug, are they suppose to be left like that ?

[@ronald.random]

Hi, Thanks for the video. I also have a faulty front controller and in the process of installing a replacement, however, I have one question, Is thermal paste necessary for heat transfer to the heat sink?

[@ManDone88]

No

[@JustNel]

This is really awesome guys!! Allows us to make fixes.

[@davidmorgado3755]

What are those connectors to phases and Battery? 6mm rc plugs? I need to buy those for X controller

[@mikshooter2536]

Sir i have the same issue on my thunder , what should i do?

[@Jgriffin0808081]

Awesome video! Subscribed

[@VirtualVictoryTM]

You should do a video on how to replace the battery

[@jasonhoward9322]

Hi, which colours are the brake inhibitors? I have blue red coming from the levers but cannot find the connection on controller. Thanks

[@frenchcurse7287]

what are the name of that type of connectors .The gold one u connect the motor. Thanks

[@Camilobakes]

Is that the controller that says A and B? My thunder is having the same problem but I noticed some websites only have the controller for sale that say A and B. Do you guys have the controller for the front wheel in stock ? I'll give you guys a call tomorrow. Thanks for this video.

[@sfc02]

Hi, can you tell me i bought dt3 new controller but thats had only one white cable for break cut off, now how i to connected on 2ne break cut off cable. Plz answer me

[@gds1259]

Hi Guys, I purchased a dualtron thunder about one month ago (here in Europe). I replaced the suspension cartidges (softer) and tyres (PMT). All was well until all of a sudden the front motor stopped working. Really disappointed! The front wheel only spins with lots of resistance (nobbly). The back wheel spins fine. Is it worth checking the switch or the controller or does the motor need replacing? Thanks for the advice.

[@karlkarl9504]

Maybe one of the motor wires are touching

[@DESOUSAB]

Exact same thing happened to me. Did you figure out what the issue was? Controller?

[@gds1259]

@@DESOUSAB Hi, yes it was the controller. It was replaced then everything worked again.

[@harenthiran]

Well known issue in Thunder is enabling regenerative braking while battery is full or more than 90%, it kills the controller

[@IbahagiKoLang]

Hi. Need help. My MX cannot power on. When i long press the power on throttle, the front and rear lights on. When I release its turnoff. But the throttle itself cant power on. Thanks...

[@SunsetEuc]

Hi im wondering if it is possible to replace a dualtron thunder controllers with a STORMCORE 100D esc controller from Lacroix would it work ?

[@tallswede80]

do these controllers also control the brakes? I think my brake controller fried, (after 1 week). How do I know if it's the front or the rear?

[@Mmastro28]

These guys dont respond to scooter problems on here. I suggest going onto the webpage and asking there. They are usually pretty quick to respond.

[@FyeNikka1]

So this is what happened to my scooter.... Had it only 3 days. A very light tumble over on side and scooter would barely go. Next day would not go at all. Had to send it back. I knew this was odd...!

[@tmbardsen88]

Low quality. My frontcontroller had some bugs from day one, made complain to after 2months. KWK said this was normal. Frontcontroller totally broke down after 9months. Dualtron only offer 6months warranty. I guess they are made to last only 6months then. Can not recommend this brand or store

[@M12344T]

Tor Morgan Bårdsen ahhhhh man that sucks, Im thinking of buying one but having second thoughts now. Thanks for the tip.

[@mrmovin12345]

Who would you recommend

[@SuperGiantGeckosLLC]

Mike 0913 me too now

[@bellabeautywellness6802]

It’s my first day brand new already have this issue headache

[@floydb9100]

does water mess up the motor controller ?

[@Nate7700]

Do you have the dimensions of these controllers?

[@davidm6975]

HAS DUALTRON DONE ANYTHING TO UPGRADE THIS AS I READ ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

[@orlatris96]

Hello friend, I'm Orlando Tristão, I'm from Portugal, I'm a little inexperienced and I need to ask a favor, can you show me a video or a diagram, explaining each wire or connector of these controllers? Can I connect an accelerator to the Display wires? Please help me. Thank you very much. greetings

[@a.gouvea5583]

Does anyone know who in New York can repair the Thunder?

[@Dave-ci5qd]

How about how to fix, modify ,upgrade the loud loosening ,creaking steering post clamp?

[@orthodium]

Just unscrew the 2 steering column cup/holder screws, and thoroughly WD40 the screw holes inside and out. Takes care of the squeaking noise right away.

[@n1iex]

Great vid thanks !

[@rhinofob3447]

Where can I get a new battery?Thanks

[@kovuscar]

The controller may be fried if yours settings are: P8 = 100 P9 = 3 Which means full available power output. Tested at 90% battery, 80km/h (50mph) on flat surface. I have noticed abnormal front motor behaviour, looked like power cut off for very short period of time (100ms), randomly. Probably some sort of electronic safety (over-current protection?). My advice is to put setting P8 to 90 or P9 to maximum 2. This event is no longer occuring after 200km (125 miles). May be specific case of my model.

[@ValorHeart]

How you're changing these settings ? and what affect they have ?

[@kovuscar]

@@ValorHeart Here is english manual for the Dualtron Thunder: electro.club/data/users/2193/files/wiki/Thunder_English_Manual.pdf Settings are on page 12 and 13. On some settings you can press and hold the bullet point button for faster value change. For the experience depending on settings, you have to figure it out on your own. I am still learning how to squeeze all the juice from this machine.

[@IROC-ROB]

I’ll try that mine just went out and my settings were at P8=100 and P9=3

[@SaltCreep45]

@@kovuscar Mine came out of the box with P8 100 P9 3 RUNS FINE ?

[@kovuscar]

@@SaltCreep45 yes, these are factory settings. You may want to use full power, although treat riding with full power like revving combustion engine near the red line. It is fine, but do not use it for too long and often, so the controller may have time to cool down.
