Unity VS Tenka | Single Motor 120AMPS Continuous

[@Jarmezrocks]

I want the other way around? How to make a FOCbox with 4 channel outputs so I can run 4WD hub motors? 4 motors means distributed load=less heat=less resistance I want hubs because I can't stand replacing belts but I want to still be able to climb hills without frying motors? A similar controller with the same maximum power output, but allowing for more channels would be beneficial even to eskate riders that only have 2 motors, especially if you could bridge channels like in this example? Eg. Max board output of 2.4kw, 4 channels at 600w each, or 2 channels at 1200w each, or 1 channel at the full 2400w? Or then even incremental stages to cater for less powerful motors but with overhead to upgrade later on? You could have 1 motor at 600w or 2 motors at just 600w each? Allowing someone to make use of something they have spare and upgrade later on without needing to replace battery, controller and motors? Controller manufacturers need to become more scalable and flexible and less tied to other expensive components If someone makes this kind of controller, they will be catering towards eskates across all types? Off road, on road, hub or belt

Dude...this is an awesome demo..tell me...in theory...can I put a prop on this setup...run a few in salt water for a function then as long as its flushed after- like a boat - give it purpose....or are they stuffed after the tests???

I have bought a Tenka and want to connect it with my Flipsky VX2 Remote over Uart. With other esc’s I did not have to set up anything to get the motors to spin, (except for the initial motor set up in the VESC-tool) but with the Tenka I can’t get it to work. Do I have to change some settings?

You have to turn on the UART in the app

[@ddkuo]

So the TENKA is the newer product? More efficient in manufacturing and such?

[@marheim9361]

Im also wondering about this....

[@ElectricSkateboardBuilder]

New case design, it is better for heat dissipation. Also, the electronic components are protected from environmental debris as it is potted in special thermal epoxy resin.

neat

Does Tenka require anti-spark plug?

[@esk8spirit362]

no, it has one built in

So why are the motors in water ??

[@ElectricSkateboardBuilder]

Because motors for esk8 cannot normally have 120amp continuously running into them without going into melt down. The water is for cooling purposes during high current test. In normal use on an electric skateboard the load at the motor determines the current in the motor. But as forward momentum increases, the load reduces and so does the current being used inside motor. On average most esk8 riders probably only need about 20amps motor current to keep moving. The current peaks during acceleration from stationary position and during hill climbing. 120amps is more than anyone can ever use in real world.
