You started on one side and ended on the other…battery died?

Yeah mostly but needs some minor tweaks, the accel felt slow. Not sure if it was the 9" tires, the added weight in general, or what. Didn’t full throttle it yet as it was the first ride and I needed to check all the bolts again.
It’s at a 5 gear ratio, comparison mtb is at 4.8
9" tires vs 8"
12s9p lg hg6 vs 10s5p 30q
200kv 6384 aps motors vs 190kv 6369 powerplant motors
Same throttle curves
Same motor max amps
@flasher I forgot to start relive

Yeah… I’d expect to be a bit slower off the line with those changes. Are you maxing out the motors/vesc? Do logs reflect that?

I thought the bump to 12s and increase in gear ratio would make up for the torque. We’ll see.
I own no log recording devices other than esc fault info. Motors are set to 90A, battery max set at 120A although it can supply 270A max. Thermal throttling set stupidly high.

I shudder to suggest this but are you running VESC FW? in the HORRIBLE VESC fone app under developer you can enable realtime data logging to your fone, then you can open that log in the desktop

I’m still scared of vesc FW 5 as it made my motors act super wonky near top speeds. I didn’t see any option for unity 23.46 to do this.
Gonna crank up the throttle curve to 30% and drop the positive ramping time to 0.07s and see if it gets better. Then I’ll try 8" tires I suppose. I’m surprised I didn’t feel a huge difference between 8 and 9" tires in carvability.

if you have Ifone, you can try StormCore app
or buy Robots stuffs and use their awesome app…

Yesterday I landed on my left side lower back, because I managed to lock up my brakes on autumn leaves 
, while going around 35 kmh. Broke a left rear tire and I will be limping prolly for a week…
Idk how you guys like riding 40+ km/h. (25+ mph)
The summer before I ate asphalt at 40 km/h and it wasn’t nice. The rash healed for like 1-2 months.

Got it swapped over to vesc tool and FW 5 but it decided to not save logs to selected folder. Will try again soon.
Kicking motor amps up to 100, throttle expo to 10%, and positive ramping to 0.05 helped the initial accel issue.
I was getting some low accel when nearing full throttle up a hill. Not sure if it was thermal related or duty limit start related. I was still at 65% battery

make sure you have a “safe” shut down… normally I let my boards “time out” but when I’m running a log, I power down the board, then look for the file… Usually, I default to the folder where the APP resides…
it does work… but like all things VESC
…90% of the time it works perfectly 75% of the time…

Addendum:
I think I did 3-4 short tests you know 20-30 seconds just to see if I have everything synced, and the file location down etc.
and you have to check the log check box every time you enter the APP, keep doing mini tests till you find out what works, and then do that… VESC APP doesn’t save that selection when exiting the APP…
the first couple of times, as I recall, the log didn’t work as well…
