   hi.great video.i have use dual esc controller with remote to control twin hoverboard motors on my longboard before gets me to 10mph.im looking to make remote control car with perhaps 4 motors which I have from overboard.i have just bought ardino uno r3 kit and I have plenty 18650 cells.made an ebike battery 48volt so can split that for car.i had receiver from a drone and also a monitor black pearl with recover aerials.so hope to figure this out and build mdf shell for go kart

   Congratulation, good job. Your video is perfect.

   Nice job. Question – I have two hub motors on the front side, but they move with different speed when they are connected to same arduino and power supply. Any suggestions on how to ensure the wheels move with same speed if they are moving just forward or backwards. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

   whats the code the on the arduino when testing out the LED at 4:10 in the video

   Can you please contact on my whatsapp no : 7208299871

   I need a help , in hoverboard configuration

7. 

   have you taken mechatronics? if yes then from which college?

8. 

   thanks ! 😉

    Is it possibly to put the motor in reverse also using the RC controller?

11. 

    could you use sbus or spektrum dsmx serial instead of pwm and remove the arduino at all??

12. 

    can this control use reverse and forward and break ??

    Nice job ? I am trying to build a electric assisted bike with an hoverboard motor but will the sensor of the moteur will I be able to pedal or the motor will block me ? And can I use a pedaling sensor with arduino to run the motor when I am pedalling ?

    Porque hablas como Indio y el stick de la radio necesita lubricación

    Nice bro

    i follow your video, it work but it cannot reverse and brake . do you have code with reverse and brake system … please share … i am also apply it to build rc car using electric bike motor. i have no idea about code, just copy your. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

    Hey, Do you think you could give me the parts list that you used? And how would I connect a second hoverboard motor to the same controller?

    Hi, I’d like to hire you to set a system up for me. Can you contact me at info@ziprush.com

    Thanks.

20. 

    Thanks for the code

21. 

    thanks for this tutorial i need this

    Hi there, I want to control my ZRS with a RC controlar… in other words, I need to do exactly what you are doing on this video. Can you send me a private message on my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ZipRush), I'd like to discuss that with you. Thanks in advance.

    You do control 1 motor and to control for 2 motors, so what?

24. 

    Is there any way to control original hover board with pot. Instead of gyro sensor without flashing it?

25. 

    Thank you very much, i was looking for this because i want to use ebike controllers to power 2 hoverboard motors and build an eskateboard….. , now i can translate the rc output to the analog inputs on the controller that control the speed…… , the only part missing is brakes 🙂 , i guess i will try to change the code and if i detect negative input on the rc (lever going back) it will engage the braking pin on the ebike controller, thanks a lot 🙂

    Are the esc’s switchable? As in can the motor turn clockwise then counter clockwise based on RC signal?

    If your just trying to control the motor RC? why not just use an RC ESC? it's all ready figured out?

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I used this as the basis for my robot, which has two motors (and two ESCs). Both ESC grounds went to a common ground with the Arduino ground, but I found that you do not need to connect the ESC 5v to the Arduino Vin (as you do at 6:38) if you already have a separate power source for the Arduino (as it looks like you do through the USB connection).
    My robot has the two motors "facing each other" on a common axle, so when moving the robot forward, you need to get creative in the Arduino code to set one of the motors to run in reverse by grounding the ZF pin on one of the ESCs. (I did this with a relay switch.)

    Can the motors be controlled only by potentiometers or are the programmable control board and hall sensors, etc. a must?
    I am asking for bare-bones, absolute simplest controller with manual voltage regulator for different constant speeds. Or would that work on brushed motors only?

31. 

    WOW thank alot bro

32. 

    Thanks for the demonstration! Could you please share what wires you used and what connectors?

33. 

    Nicely done. Keep it up

34. 

    Hello. On 4.46 its valid code or not??

35. 

    How can this be done with 2 motors such that they can both rotate independently (i.e. implementing turning)? And does the method you demonstrated allow for reverse?

36. 

    did you manage to reverse the rotation ?

37. 

    Can I use the 36-volt HoverBoard battery and use it with a 500W driver?
