I have been having real problem at home with my internet provider (Bell sympatico). There is one of there router in Toronto that has a problem with my IP. So I can not use my FTP account and I am having problem with wordpress so I can not edit or created any new post. I also realise that I can edit the time I post news. ( Like this one :))
Right now, I did my first test on my Scooter! That might sound weird since there is no post about my other modifications I made. I will post them after this one.
I went today see the guys at www.vamudes.com to borrow a 60A brushless speed controller and some batteries. Vamdues is a technical group here at the University of Sherbrooke that build Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). I also went to see them because they might need a hand to build there new plane.
I have videos of my first scooter and specifications. The batteries they had was a Thunder Power RC Pro Lite MS 8000mAh 14.8V.
Specifications for Thunder Power RC TP-8000-4S4PL ProLite MS Military Spec LiPo:
- Voltage: 14.8V
- Cells: 4S4P
- Capacity: 8000mAh
- Max Continuous Discharge: 16C
- Max Burst Discharge: 25C
- Max Continuous Current: 128A
- Max Burst Current: 200A
- Weight: 633g
- Dimensions: 29 x 50 x 255mm
This is a very expensive battery. It cost $329.95 USD. I will not use that in my scooter, not for 330$ and it is only 14,8V!
When it was charge the battery was at 16V and my motor can take up to 36V! We only had one single 16V battery on the scooter. The motor is so powerfull that it can make wheelies very easy! You really need to be gentle on the throttle. I would guest the speed around 20km/h. It was rainning outside so I did not test it with my GPS to see the official speed.
I will edit the video and post it online.
