Important notes:
- For the wiring of the battery Molex and how to handle the BMS: Please consult other resources eg. pev.dev
- Floatboxx MCM has limited internal space, so cable lengths matter to be able to tuck them away. These are the advised cable lengths in mm:
| Connection: | VESC PCB to the Floatboxx wall (incl part of the connector) | bare wire length (without main connector) |
|---|---|---|
| On/Off | 130 | 100 |
| Hall | 120 | 110 |
| Footpad | 145 | 135 |
| Motor (incl bullets) | 140 | 130 |
| Battery (incl XT60) | 130 | 120 |
Notes:
- We use metric screws and tools: M5 to mount the box, M3 to mount the lid
- Floatboxx is not guaranteed to be waterproof on it's own. Do a visual inspection first for small gaps. For 100% certainty: use the Badgerwheel kit . Total waterproofness depends on the complete assembly by the user.
- Use a 1 mm thermal pad between the box and the Mosfets.
