The Floatboxx MLC is an aluminium controller box to house the Little Focer VESC controller between XR style rails. Compatible with the XR platform Holes for the Switchcraft 6-pin Hall sensor and 3-pin footpad connectors. MLC: for LFocer M: Compatible with the Hypercore 6-pin Molex L: With 4x M3 studs fixed to mount the Little Focer VESC C: for M20 Cable gland to feed through an XT60 connector and other BMS wires., replacing the Molex 16-pin battery connector. Weight: 490 gr = 1.08 lbs (box, screws, lid, seal) The advantage of Floatboxx aluminium box compared to other type of boxes: Strong! Does not break under heavy use Aluminium welded construction Stainless steel inserts for the lid and rail mounting Practical The VESC can be mounted on the bottom and fixed on the M3 threaded studs. More space for Buzzer, BMS, rESCue, extra Li-Ion cells... Easy access for DIY: Just remove the footpad to access the lid. No need to remove rails, bumper, connector cover. Easy to waterproof: welding imperfections can be closed with silicone/MS Polymer/... The handle remains fully available Mounting holes for 3D printed LED strip holder Improved heat dissipation for the controller: The box is completely made of aluminium allowing optimal heat transfer. The area for the controller mounting is NOT powderpainted for optimal heat transfer There's an air channel between the bottom of the controller box and the bumper Durable: the 2mm foamrubber sealing is compressed about 50% so the elastic properties are maintained after many cycles of opening. Compatibility: rails: stock, Thunderrails, Varials, WTF*, Badgerwheel rails* (*requires some grinding of protrusions in the rail) bumpers: stock, BANGS, Badger bumpers* (*requires removal of the ridge near the wheel) footpad: stock XR, DIY footpads Content: aluminum box with aluminum lid (both powderpainted white) aluminium Connector Cover (before sept 12th, this was optional. Now it is included standard) foamrubber sealing sticker 2 vent stickers all nut 'n bolts in stainless steel. M4 lock nuts and washers for the Molex 6-pin connector M5 countersunk screws for the mounting of the box to the rails, and the connector cover to the box M3 countersunk screws for the lid M3 lock nuts and nylon washers for the Little Focer 2 square spacers to fill up the gaps in front when using Bang Bumpers Options: Hall/footpad extension cable set - 90 mm 12-core battery cable VESC: 2x AWG13, 2x AWG18, 8x AWG24 in PVC sheath OD 11 mm Adapter plate to mount an M20 cable gland for Superflux motor. The most compact M20 cable gland on the market. A tiny cable cable gland for the LED cable Connections: MLC VESC Connector Kit The connectors should be purchased separately: on/off switch: ø19 mm hole for the switch, wall thickness 9 mm Pre-wired available from MakersPEV/Customwheel. charge plug: ø20,5 mm hole for the Neutrik NC3 MPR-HD XLR Pre-wired available from MakersPEV/Customwheel) hall/footpad: 2x D-shaped holes for Switchcraft connectors Prewired from CustomWheel have typical too short wires (~100mm). Ask them for 200 mm wires or buy an extension set from Floatboxx. battery harnass: ø20,5 mm hole for M20x1,5 cable gland with lock nut. Make sure you get the variant with the 22mm dome nut (not 24 mm)! motor: compatible with the Hypercore 6-pin Molex. Note that we designed for the Molex 6-pin with the gasket outside the box: Build it yourself with these components Molex CONN PLUG HSG 6POS 5.84MM 194290044, panel mount w/o boss (digikey link) Molex CONN PIN 14-16AWG CRIMP TIN 0194170027, male pin, 6x (digikey link) Notes: This uses 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. The location of the VESC controller has no powdercoating for optimal heat transfer. we advise 1 mm because we supply a 0,5 mm nylon washer to go below the Mosfets as electrical isolator
