    Thanks, can you please post details of the control hardware and code, along with pictures of all settings.

    I am guessing that may be Arduino, IBT2s, and SMC3 but that does need to be clear.

    At the end of those videos he kinda says the motors don’t have enough power. Can you post a picture of the label? It should at lease have a wattage on there that is related to the power. Also, the RPM since higher RPM implies lower torque.

    It is also possible to measure the torque with a luggage scale of a fish scale.
