I'm in the design phase of building this but using Power Wheels motors from an old kids toy. This project is driving me nuts because I want to use the exact same remote you are using but can't find anyone using it for anything bigger than a toy car/boat..... I feel like I'm losing my mind because I can't find anything, anywhere. Can you send me the part number for that ESC? Do you know what Amperage your motors are drawing? I could even get some other motors if I need to but I really want to avoid getting an arduino and 100 components for practically tank control with joystick. Here is my set up, I'm going to use either 1 or 2 Ryobi 18VDC batteries, step them down to 12VDC, OR 2 18VDC in series to step 36VDC down to 24VDC, to run the power wheel motors and have one on each back wheel of push cart. I have a quick release pin that will let wheels free spin if I don't want to use motors and manually push. Last piece of the puzzle is what you've made. I am going to use the exact same controller you have, I am looking at some ERCs but my god the specs are so vague like "30A" is that per motor or total? Even the motors are so generic that you can't find amps or wattage.... I am my wits end until I found your video and now have a glimmer of hope.
@@mattgrimmett6067 the remote I used was the one single one handed single joystick controller that I found anywhere on earth. And I looked for months everywhere from here to China . eBay, Amazon, wish, Alibaba, AliExpress, etc . This is a brushed ESC. I can't remember the specs. I believe it was 1-6S capable. And not a ton of amps. Like 40 or 50 if I'm remembering right. I'll see if I can find a link to it or a similar one.
@@mattgrimmett6067 I found a whole bunch on eBay.. just search "dual motor brushed ESC" and you'll see dozens of options.. I saw all the way up to 480A in my quick scroll through the page.. narrow down the specs you want. And you'll be way better off getting geared motors. Step down the rpm's for added torque. You don't want a ton of speed. You want torque.
@@Bigz-3D just saw this comment. I can't remember the ESC. This was an old project. It's been finished for a long time. Pretty sure I had to go to some obscure eBay seller to find a brushed self mixing 2 in 1 ESC. It was a nightmare. I'll see if I can find the link. If I don't post a follow up comment with a link it's because I couldn't find it
Mainly because my e-bike never stayed in any one form long enough to make another video about it. It's in his final form now and there's no mountain bike parts left on it. It's all motorcycle parts. This summer I plan on making a full breakdown about it.
@@limeeeeeeeee lol. That's a random comment. You being serious? I only have one niece and she's like 12 ish. So unless you're also 12 ish that would be a weird thing to say.

Very nice build. I want to build one just like this, can you list out the parts you use? Thanks.
What ESC did you use?

Smh bruh after a whole ass year you never did a ride along on ur ebike

Just saw this and realized that after another whole ass year I still never did a riding video of that bike. Lol. Woops.
Im dating ur neice frfr
