Novak HV4400 and 7XL BL Sensored System...

No, the C50 motor did not throw me wiring wise. I thought that the smaller can motors would be harder to match timing to the HV motor by just hooking them together, and I wondered if the C50 gave you that problem.

I have also made this idea work for a lehner basic 4200 and a novak 10.5 running on the old SS5800 controller. I haven't road tested it yet, but it works well on the bench. I did cheat and use an o-scope to get the gearing lined up.

I just thought of something, we can use the slave motor to do the braking using a standard brushed ESC and some diodes!!

Why not using it to charge battery pack?

[zeropointbug]

I don't think charging the batteries (Lipo) is a good idea... I think the only batteries that can handle the currents would be A123's... but then again, it would be for a short period, so who knows, maybe it could work?

Probably could work, hadn't thought of it. Regenerative braking is usually such a small affect that it is proably more work than it is worth.
