Heatwrapping individual packs
They didn’t look as clean as I expected, so I might redo them tomorrow

Nice build and amazing finish on the enclosure. Only thing I am a bit worried about is the thin connection you used for the batteries.
yep! A good standard is two layers of 0.15 nickelstrips
That flexible battery blew my mind. I’ve been trying to figure out how to wire a 10s4p in such a way that I can break them apart if I want to travel by plane so I can bring my electric board with me. I’m going to try that build in my next board.
Awesome looking build there!!!
Do you solder the second strip on top of the first the same way as on the cells?
I soldered the nickel strips directly at the cells, so they are not overlappped with each other, I’m confident the connection is pretty solid
@jga yep. Just two layers ontop of the cell. @Eboosted yep it looks solid, but the connection might be too thin for the current.
W concave board eh? That’s been an intriguing form factor, seems like its more ergonomic for standing on the board for long periods, and better leverage for turning… they seem rare though

Uhm. That made me wonder…
If I solder an additional strip I might heat up the cells more, I wonder what would be an alternative. I may give the strips a try.
@osbor the NS Reaper is know to be a really good deck for speed, the W shape would give me plenty of confidence for hard turns, it does not flex much.
OTOH, even thought the deck is 37.5" long, it feels a lot smaller than the Loaded Vanguard, rear foot rest is a nice touch, shape and finish is awesome. So this could become my perfect travel board =)
oh sheet… i love the setup man… Battery design is awesome!
Enclosure is sweet lookn too.

Does this wiring diagram look ok to you guys?
What fuse would you suggestm if any, for the charging port and before the VESCs?

First obvious thing I see is that your missing a balance wire on cell 7 assuming cell 1 is in the bottom left. You only have 9 wires for your 10 wire connector. Also, if your using a Vedder anti-spark switch with the standard 40A fuse, you really shouldn’t need the other two if it’s all setup properly.
Thanks man, I’ll leave it with no fuses then! BTW the missing balancer cable was a drawing error only 
yep it does heat up the cell more. Spotwelding would be a good point, or a really high Watt iron.
So yesterday I finished the build =O, I still need to put the enclosure bolts, enclosure gasket, watt metter, upgrade the charging port ad work polishing the details:
I uploaded the @Ackmaniac latest firmware limited the max watt to 700W and went for a test ride.
OMG the board feels so stable at high speeds but at 700W it feels a lot less powerful than the Bamboo GT in GT mode, the calibers 44 with 6 degree angled raisers seems to be designed for 50MPH or more, not even a single minuscule speed wooble, but at low speeds it’s not as carvy as the Evolve Bamboo GT, nevertheless it’s way more comfortable and easier to ride.
I’ll post more pictures tomorrow when I finish the detils.
BTW my BMS seems to be charging one of the packs 0.15V more than the rest of the packs, not sure it the cells of that specific pack are bad or the BMS is shot because of a short I had when I was assembling the board.

Hope someone could give me a hand setting the vesc to avoid this, at least a little bit

Two ways to avoid this, one is to push before u pull the trigger, the other is to use sensored FOC. Another option is to use Hybrid mode BLDC, but this doesn’t completely remove the cogging effect only reduces it.
