Great looking build. The outcome is outstanding! The only question I have about this build is that don’t you get your pants really wet and dirty when driving in moist conditions? Mine isn’t even near waterproof but I’ve played with the idea of adding some sort of mudguards to the board.
Cheers!
@FinnishSnowmobiler Ya riding is the rain is pretty messy!
@lrdesigns I haven’t had any water issues but I recently have had some motor overheating issues. I am going to start a new thread about it.
Looks good bro 
enclosure came out nice and not too hard or messy
I’d use sugru for stuff like this, even the mounting around the plug i’d use it there to unless your budget is super tight 
Never heard of sugru, I will have to try it!
I recently had my motor overheat and stop working. It was probably because I’ve been riding it with a backpack, and going up hills in the AZ heat. So I just bought a larger motor and a new mount. I will post pics here when I have it all installed. It will be nice to have a little more power too!
After kicking my board for 2 weeks, I finally installed the OM6085 motor last night! It feels way more powerful than my old motor and a lot smoother too. I should have started with a 60mm motor!
Evan after riding up a hill in 80 degree F weather, it did not get too hot to touch. I will have to see how hot it gets when it’s hotter out.
Looks nice! Let me know when you are ready for 90mm wheels. We will have some in a few weeks. http://www.ollinboardcompany.com/product/ollin-popoca-longboard-wheels-90mm-78a
Should be a perfect fit for that wheel pulley.
I will need some wheels soon, those look nice, I could use some softer wheels! Mine are 83A
I rode with the new motor in 96 degrees F a little bit ago and I could still touch it without burning my hand.
Looks like my top speed is up from 20mph to 22mph! (My theoretical top speed for both 200kv motors is 27.5mph) (I’m guessing the biggest cause if it being lower is the vesc efficiency and the LiFe voltage sag)
I also noticed that I have full braking all the way until a full stop. 
With the old motor, once I got going really slow the brakes would not brake with as much force and I would have to put my foot down. Now I can hold the brake down and come to a complete stop without my feet.
My old mount is for sale! I know it’s hard to find mounts for the spacing on OM5065s. http://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/for-sale-used-custom-adjustable-motor-mount-for-om5065/34993
Did you use an oven or heat gun/hair dryer to heat up kydex?
An oven, if you scroll way up in this thread, I wrote about it, and I put a link to the turorial I watched
Starting an Instagram for pics of my board and other things I invent/build! Go check it out!
Hi man! Awesome build!
What deck are you using? A link would be appreciated 
Whats the name of that deck? Is it flexy? Link please
i believe its an arbor axis. I don’t know what length though http://arborcollective.com/skateboards/products/
Yep. Arbor axis 40. Is a bit flexi.
@VAEsk8 hey! sorry I haven’t been on here in a while, yup it’s an Arbor Axis, I got it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014R179O2/ref=cm_sw_su_dp but it looks like they are sold out at that link right now, and it is slightly flexy, not nearly as flexy as a boosted board deck though.
Here is a quick update on my board since I haven’t posted on here in a while.
My motor broke so I got this new motor.
I didn’t want my black controller to look like a gun anymore so I painted it red with Plasti Dip. It also matches the motor quite well.
After I did these upgrades this happened:
I was riding on a dark sidewalk and hit a huge crack. The board just snapped and I went right into the ground.
Here is my temporary fix for the deck which got me to class for the last 2 weeks of my semester:
I bought a new deck and I just need to drill all those mounting holes again 
I will post pics here once the new deck is on. It’s the same style deck but with a different pattern on the bottom and better grip tape.
Here is my new deck and some pics fo the board with it installed!
you’re not using the drop-through for your trucks, wouldn’t you prefer a deck without those huge holes and have a bit more strength?
