Marty Backe Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Finally took my MSX to the Mountain Proving Grounds and ran it up Overheat Hill. Only the MCM5 ran this hill cooler. The MSuper X proves itself time and again on these hills as a super cool running wheel even under stress. This was also my first real test of @EUC GUY's custom MSX sidepads.

yourtoys7 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 @Marty Backe another grate video, and about time you give some love to MSX, lol. MSX has become my fav. wheel by far what I had in the past for over all and MCM5 for short distance and crowded places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't give you a link just now, but if you go to his YouTube channel (EUC Guy) you can see it. He totally melted his motor wires and fried the control board.

Might I suggest pulling something up a hill, like a sled or wagon with bricks (or a friend) in it...more utilitarian. P.S. I love your great work and videos, even if they are creative or unusual!

yourtoys7 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Wow... why would you do that, it was paint full to watch that failure. But I was very impressed of what MSX capable of. I absolutely Love my 84v one. Here is the link for anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I am not sure why the tester thought the board would fail before the wires fried? The motor wires look like #14 gauge which is suitable only for the lights, they are certainly not adequate for the circuit board or motor. If I had a Gotway I would just replace the battery wires and motor wires with at least a #10gauge wire or triple up on the #14s and fagetaboutit. Depending on wire insulation to prevent fusing is a very bad idea. Given the amps Gotway allows its motors to receive, I am surprise the wires didn't go poof.

You are very handy, I would beef them up and rest easy climbing any hill the wheel will go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm familiar enough with the Gotway wiring and feel very confident that it can handle my hills without doing any mods. The key is to pay attention to the amps and don't run it for long at maximum current draw. I use my Pebble watch for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
