Much More Powerful Pie Now!!!

[GM Canada]

Is anyone riding around with full downhill MTB helmets or just normal cycling helmets

one thing im aware of, having had several real nasty crashes, is the potential energy of a 25 mph smash on the head...

any thoughts on this  ?

bearing in mind if your front forks go, the face is going to take the first impact, should face protection be a consideration ??


just a thought ?

My friends always said when we were riding around peddling our bikes "The only people that were helmets are those that have something to protect". So I guess if you have a pretty face....

Hey has anyone gone and modded their GM controller recently? Where is Spacey I think he's was still pumping away last time he was around

I'm tempted to do some McShunting... But I have a sneaky 'soft' mod I wan't to try first..... Details updated here!!

erm no, but I did get one of those dang sixsixone helmets, didnt even realise I got the same one till I saw your post today

Very cool, good windflow, very lightweight

Just remember if you get an insect in the mouth, don't spit it out ( todays lesson on full face helmet )

Keep the hands warm buddy

i like the sounds of a sneaky soft mod,is this for ext or int controllers.

[MonkeyMagic]

Its for both....

Give me a couple of weeks and I should hopefully have a direct plug in ready

[Who42]

Every Cruise Controller seems different inside

This would explain the differences I get bike to bike , some seem to pull much harder to start with some go a bit faster none get get anywhere near 50 amps peak and only put 16 to 18 amps out average nowhere near 35 amps at 48v  even setting the controller amps flat out via the PC interface

But bypassing the the shunt with a switch now I have boost LOL

[MonkeyMagic]

lol I didn't mean that kind of plug in!

Who42 you are a power hungry man! I see this working, but for how long only 'Who' knows

I think that switch is good for an amp or 2

[DirtyGinge]

replace your fets my man, the stock ones wont last long at that input,...beef up the traces etc.....

[Who42]

My  Pie is Much More Powerful Now!!!  

What I did see the little brown cap I just added another one in parallel it fitted inside controller  but only connected across via that switch
it adds around additional 10 amps boost , I did beef up the traces and added more solder to anything I thought might need it  Magic Pie was putting out 1100w instead of 816w standard Torque Arm is a must
The switch & wires seems to handle it np  
If you really want more power and SPEED use the this Kelly controller it will spin a Magic Pie to over 60km/h at around 1800w with 2 x 48v 12amp batteries in parallel see Pic MA HA HA HA  

I checked all this with my cycle computer

[Who42]

I like this helmet and price aint too bad either from Aldy store its a snowboard  helmet $19  
Very cool, good windflow, very lightweight and strong not like bike helmets  
Its got much more protection and its very comfy 
Plus the Helmet keeps my ears warm in winter LOL

What I did see the little brown cap I just added another one in parallel it fitted inside controler  but only connected accross via that switch

Hey Who42 were the 3 shunts already in there?

cheers

What I did see the little brown cap I just added another one in parallel it fitted inside controler  but only connected accross via that switch

Hey Who42 were the 3 shunts already in there? YES ,See how some controlers use large 63v 470uf round caps and some use small brown flat caps I just added a small brown flat cap that stiil fitted inside the controller box in parralell with the large 63v 470uf round caps but with a switch I drilled a small hole in controller box to allow 2 10amp wires through it to go to the switch  

I thought this was safer than just bypassing the shunt altogerther by soldering a wire directly accross

cheers MARK
