I would love to read your building progress on this board with 12s7p, especially on how you will do the enclosure.
I will, it will be a segmented enclosure like on my last trampa - but Ill do it in a more proper way this time - learning 3D modelling, carving a mold with my cnc router that i still have to finish building, then using that polished mold for a real precision and high gloss carbon enclosure with resin infusion that basically covers the whole vanguard without having an impact on its flex. its still a long way, but this build will be a step up from anything ive done until then. 
rough sketch: 7 segments, 2x3 on each trucks side for 2x7P battery elements, middle is a more flat segment for 2x vesc6.

Not a fan of tails or kicktails or anything like it, never using it either.
Motors are all simmilar, square trucks all do the same jos well
@whitepony how about two 6355 motors on ronins? Did you try that? How much space do you have for them?
This is what’s on my Dropped Glorrrrrrryyyyyyyy build, its the most solid and fail proof build I’ve ever done. no slip, tons of torque, great acceleration and top speed.

didnt try, ronins arent very wide, but either way im not a big fan of dual motor on one axle, always gives this awkward locking differential feel when you carve.
Now that’s what I would accept as a substitute for chains!

13s Focbox running in sensored FOC, on an EVO, with 6374 190kV. 15/36T with 20mm belts on 107s
45mph, torque and wheelie, burnout donuts.
I have yet to see another belt drive do 45mph and get there with ease.
And it’s efficient as hell.

uhm excuse me sir, you did not hit 45mph. you actually only hit 44mph.

GPS said 45. Refresh rates between Bluetooth and gps…meh. 1mph off in the logs. Whoopty. Find another belt drive that goes 40+ and still has torque. 
Plus yea I didn’t my buddy did. On the Evo I helped build…which is the same as my build.with one less P cell…

yah because of your carving style
I think i try them one day with a dual setup if it fits.
High voltage seems the way to go. A bit off topic but the new Porsche Mission-E is built on a 800V Platform, highest yet for an EV…
How does it handle the high ERPMs? Not regarding DRV errors or faults but rather the Efficieny at high speeds compared to 12s or even 10s It might be difficult to tell i guess…

The build before this he was running 12s4p and averaging 16-18 miles on the 30q pack.
This is a 13s4p. Averaging 25-30miles on a 30q pack with only 4 more cells. And motor amps are significantly lower across the board. Both builds we’re electronically identical.
The old build had 16/40T on 12s… So 2.5 reduction compared to the15/36t 2.4 reduction on the Evo bot same wheels (107s)
So I would say that the voltage has a greater part of that then the 15wH of cells added… as the reduction on this build should use more power… But the voltage increase has affected the range drastically (an entire boosted board ride worth extra).

sounds great!

sick stats 
ill probably end up in the same region with 12S, 190kv, 15/32 gearing and 90mm wheels, not really aiming for super high speed, but I know the vanguard with ronins will be good for much more than what people want you to believe!

Haha I don’t doubt it. I took my vanguard to 39 and was fine. But it’s a noodle… lol
Insert bushings are the same thing as spherical bushings.
When I’m referring to insert bushings, I am not referring to Riot Plugs. The cast Rogues use the exact same insert bushings as the Don’t Trips. In fact you can use Riptide’s Kore insert bushings, which is compatible with both trucks.
In that case, Rogue bring a lot to the table for $60 by sporting the same level of ‘precision’ as Don’t Trips, given all the ‘precision’ is reliant on the insert bushing rather than the casting quality.
