Now I just need to find a case which would fit inside 25cm x 22cm space…
@Kug3lis Just excellent work… you made your own direct drive (sounds very similar to Jenso’s – love the vid and drive noise btw)… your own vesc.
Is your FATBoy a hw6.4 clone? Are you selling it? what are you plans? You have a lot of stuff going on. Or is this all just for science?

At the moment it’s VESC4 in case, my own ESC is still in creation stage PCB is at home, so next year will be some action with it 
Yeah, mine FatBOY is kinda based on hw6.4 but has no DRV and I guess I will write my own firmware if I have time. If it will work fine and there will be demand I guess I can try to make it for the sale.

I have been riding my board every day for like 12km to get used to handling it as it feels completely different from my old board. I would like to go further but its really cold here and my feets even in winter boots get cold pretty soon
Yesterday, I had a problem, in the middle of my route I started hearing the strange sound from gearbox my first thought was something came loose, so I turned around and was going back home on really slow pace to not damage until 4km until home I heard a loud noise and one wheel completely blocked, but it wasn’t blocked as fully blocked it could sping like 90% of its turn and then something was bloking the gear so I had to lifet back side (the heaviest side) and pull it back home on feet was not much fun 
After taking apart, I found out that set screw on motor gear was loose and another one went missing I was searching for it inside the box but couldn’t find it until I picked everything apart and found it stuck inside the gear…
Minimal wear on the case, the scratches on the big hole was because of miss aligned fitting of the gearbox on the truck, and small because gear came lose and slid on the keyway.

It’s just too tempting 
always perfect 
love it all !!
Just your mudguards should (maybe) be on the other side of the wheels (at 2h instead of 10h on the profil photo). To protect you, the rider and not the road back at you
look where the mount is…
Looking good!
What MOSFET drivers are you using for the ESC?
I think these ones can’t tell for sure UCC27210

Cool idea but it would look so much better in red or just black. Red Ferrari look that would be it
Yeah, I know… But for now it will have to do, maybe in future I will try to order some buckets in black from China
Those tires literally lifts everything I went riding through asphalted road came back like I went through forest offroading
