Nice to see your finished product, good job!

One question though, you said you bought 4x 3s batteries but are only running 6s at the same 5000mah, where’d the other batteries go?

EDIT: nevermind just read you use the 2nd as a spare pack :slight_smile:

Be careful with those voltage meters while riding. They draw power from one cell and may damage your lipos. Only use them when not riding. Very nice first build!

Congrats on the build brother and very cool video promo :slight_smile: Wear a helmet next time please :slight_smile:

Hey congrat on ur build. One question: How did the karma work? any drop out?

ah and i know u don’t want to mess with the hair, but bro PLEASE wear a helmet.

I cannot stress this enough, you need a helmet.

and, u reach 41kph on a 6s board??? HOW COME???

nice build man, thanks for sharing!

@kyo, @lox897, @RunPlayBack, @shred I was a bit stupid at that time, I’m always wearing a helmet now!

@lox897 Didn’t know that :o Why is that! I tend to only plug them in after riding for a while to check how much juice is left.

@kyo The kama feels nice in your hand and the cruise controll is awesome. When giving throttle or braking it sometimes feels like the signal is too weak or that it dropps out. I feel like it is a little bit too unreliable with the bluethooth for esk8.

Run my setup in an esk8 top speed calc and you’ll get something like 41-42km/h :slight_smile: Weight doesn’t really matter for top speed

As long as you don’t have them plugged in while riding, you should be good.

They are made for checking voltage on LiPos and have an alarm which you can edit. Feels weird that they should damage one cell that hard. :confused:

They draw power from one cell. @lowGuido knows more about it.

Those voltage alarms are alright. I use tjem in all my builds. The tiny amount they draw is negligible. Just balance your pack regularly.

Also solder on your kama dongle.

Alright, so no big problem having them on while riding?

Damn man, nice build! You gotta ride that beast hard, I’m getting about twice your range for the exact same wh (probably your lipos getting old also) :joy: I didn’t know those alarms where only powered by only one cell but that actually sounds legit. Probably no big deal leaving them powered as they can’t draw much current (you could check how unbalanced your lipos are after a long ride just to be 100% sure)

Yea I am riding very hard and I have used my LiPos a lot. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Saw your teaser vid and just thought it was great. Your experience building it sounded like you really got slot out of it. Have I your friends started asking you to build them one. Thats how evolve started.

Thanks man, appreciate it! Have a couple of friends that are really interested and would like one of their own :slight_smile: Though I’ll have to make some better enclosures and work on my flaws
