2Highjumper Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I will post some Pictures when i get my KS18 back, because it`s back to the distributor at the moment because my mainboard got damaged from the heat hope i will get it back till the end of the month ... Till then everything will be ready to build in. The Board is a simple Step up Converter 5V --> 12V but the fan can be adjusted with this unit to every RPM in this range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US69 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 How hot did this board get? Would you mind telling us how much you weight and what you have done that it overheats so extreme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Highjumper Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 My weight ist about 100Kg @1,95m height. i noticed that when i was doing some fast foward and backward moves that the board heats up very fast and then gets into the back tilting mode at 60° to prevent damage (so i thought) but when the distributor looked at my mainboard he said that it WAS damaged and will be replaced by Kingsong including the motor with a newer version. So i didn`t do anything what this wheel wasn`t meant to do. Maybe the board was probably faulty from the beginning of the purchase. But you got also heatproblems from time to time so i think with my weight i will get into this again - but now i`m prepared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip...that heats up the board very quickly....Even with that weight (i have also 100)...The KS18 is in no way an idling wheel..to much power on the Motor! Did 1radwerkstatt say what was defect? Interesting is that you are also getting a new Motor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting is that you are also getting a new Motor! It`s beeping ant tilting back and forth when standing due the too high temperature. The power is great but i hope it will get better with the new hardware refering to the termperature of the system and the new air flow system Jep i bought it from this guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m creating a simmilar system for my KS-18 like you guys using a 3D Printer and moddeling software I´m also going to use the 5V USB Port and one 80mm Cooling Fan. The Cable can be removed if not necessary. The fan blows into the body of the wheel and on the other side i will make a passive "Hot Air Out" hole covered with a mesh Hope you like it Nice job , looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Highjumper Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I was in the mountains once but only to try my new bigger pedals for my KS-18, which are really great but there i had no overheating problems on normal or gently rising paths. I`m sure that i would have one when going up higher paths. Update: I just recieved my 80mm Fan and mounted it in my cage. Fits perfectly and tooks under 0,35 Amps in Operation. At the moment i`m at full 12V for the Fan Now i`m waiting for the Cover mesh to protect the Fan blades and of course my Kingsong .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can make a paypal account , the fan is 80x80 mm but with cover filter on then it´s 84,5 x 84,5 and 10 mm high , if it's alot of work for you then I make one myself but I see with your 3D printer it could be just perfect , It doesn't have to be exactly tight , I can adjust with silicone on the innerside , yes it is to cover the fan from rain , a complete 3D print Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason McNeil Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 @Bjorn H, @KingSong69, @2Highjumper. It looks like KS are finally going to follow where you guys have led!

HEC Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 2 hours ago, Bjorn H said: Update:Bad converter , don't buy for euc , breaks for no reason How much current have you been pulling out of this converter at 12V? They are not really designed for giving more than 500 mA in long run so if you had you GPS connected to it as well it might have been a bit too much. How much is the fan itself taking?
