QLam56 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Looks the same but another brand? I'm sure many of them come out of the same factory though. It's basically the same thing but just worded differently. On = open Off = closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szaroczek Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 @QLam56, sorry for being persistent but I wouldn't like to make a mistake, so just to make sure: your additional red switch, when you do NOT press it - is OFF, and once you press it - is ON. Then you let it free and it automatically becomes OFF again, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should watch the below YouTube video to get a better understanding how the switch work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szaroczek Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Guys, does any of you know what are exact sizes - diagonals - of all of the three wholes in the MSX control panel, please? I'd be really grateful. I'm accidentally far away of my wheel right now and I'm to buy switches of which some I'm gonna install in the mentioned wholes and I need to know how big switches I should buy.

Electroman Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Out of curiosity, Hansolo who first did the 2400Wh MSX mod or other who got the info about wiring inside a 84v 1600Wh Gotway perhaps? Now placed the order myself for the 2400Wh mod for my own MSX and love the whole idea about not just more Wh but more paralleling up to 9P in total, never even open my MSX before and very little spare time on my hands so though about taking the opportunity to also re-wire the whole wheel more or less. In case of typical Gotway quality job I'm thinking about swapping out some connectors and step up the quality, if nothing else for my peace of mind while having it apart already cause who know if I get the opportunity again, too lazy or even want to? Thinking for example XT60 with end caps or heat shrink them better and no bare insulation free wire exposed as long as the eye can see, while at it maybe even take the gauge of wiring down one notch unless there is any reason to avoid it, re wire the charge path in case I want more charging power down the road, etc.. But I wonder if anyone here sit on the info now and feel like sharing in regards to gauge sizing of all existing MSX wiring, even down to the tiny balancing leads, any other info someone want to share that I should think about or can improve? Perhaps the size of the Nickel strips use spot welding the battery pack, I got a couple meter strips (supposedly "pure" Nickel but I get that means real close and not exactly 100% cause cannot be for several reasons) that's 0.2x10, should it be 0.3x? or similar? I can appreciate all mods no matter the scope + points just for creativity and the will to dig into your new, semi new or even old wheels should be applauded, but for me personally I swill stick to the inside, then again functionality always been good looking to me so? Fast and durable, matte black and raw and I don't have to care should I lay it on it's side. Edited March 28, 2019 by Electroman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I understand. the switch does not turn the motor off. It tells the computer to not use the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then how did he screw the switch to the handle wall since there is a thin nut which has to be screwed on the switch thread from inside the wheel and the wheel must have bee closed at the moment when he was installing the switch as long as the switch is installed in the middle of the handle...?

Hansolo Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Just separate the half shells and make 2 half holes. and often check whether it's good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this; what I don't get is once the whole is OK he's got to assembly the two halves together to put the switch in the whole and at the very last he's got to screw the nut on the switch which (nut) comes inside the handle - how does he do it???

Hansolo Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Put the switch on one of the shells, tighten the nut and lock it with glue and assemble the other shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrelwood Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) As I installed the knobby tire today, I decided also to move the beeper to underneath the charging port, facing upwards. Unfortunately while opening up the beeper for attaching longer wires, I ripped a wire from the actual piezo element. I was able to solder it back in next to the original spot, but some of the surface layer got ripped away, and I think it lowered the volume of the beeper. As a result the volume of the beeper sounds the same if not slightly lower than before the mod. Oh well. Time for a new beeper I guess But now I too have a knobbly tire!

irmatt Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I just installed 3 LED's in front of the charging port so that I have a visual cue when it beeps, because sometimes I cant hear it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for certain - but assuming this is the same components (or plug ports should I say) as on the Tesla then in theory this is easily replicated to that model too right? I suspect this may be the case given the new Tesla 2 (which for intents and purposes is a minor modernisation rather than a new wheel) has the same cut off on it. Does anyone know if the boards are the same or have the same port for power cut off? If so then I will probably mod my Tesla as I have had too many close calls with picking it up absent mindedly. And also am I right in saying I literally just buy the wire with that port fitting, a button of my choice and then just run it through to the handle?
