I went to the final part of my build which is now fully fonctionnal but not this clean regarding the enclosures,
It is just two Wooden boxes screwed to the board itself but look at what I got from a closer pov
It is not perfectly clean and all !
I tried to make my own Fiberglass + epoxy enclosure and this is what I got,
There is still a lot of imperfection and it is not as flex as wood, so when i’m carving with the board the enclosure is making a cracking noise, I don’t want to break it !
So what do you guys think I can do ?
Ownboard enclosures seems to be interesting too … I’m still thinking about buying them but I don’t know if my batteries will fit in it, i need at least 12x17x4cm for my 8S1P config or 12x34x4 for my 8S2P config, since this last one wouldn’t fit I think that it would be better to buy another one or to build another one ?
I’v been testing out all of my prototypes enclosures during the week end, I broke 1 wooden enclosure because of the board flex which is just terrible to deal with even with the Epoxy/Fiber glass one who keep making some weird noise.
@Kuphjr your’s seems to be good but really expensive since my wooden one can do the job if the attach points are close enough to let the board flex as it want (But it wouldn’t be waterproof so).
I think i’ll go and try the Ownboard ones, my 8S2P config wouldn’t fit but my 8S1P will, Just need to know if I can fit all of my stuff like my loop key, bms power port and all and, most importantly if they are not going to break with my board flex ?!
What do you think about it ?
So basically if my enclosure is hard enough to prevent the deck to flex and short enough there will be less tension on thoses, this is why I think that Ownboard enclosures should fit perfectly …
Ooh yep and it’s pretty good, with zippy’s 4S i have 4.5Ah and i can ride about more than 12Km’s without problems, so it’s like a boosted standard range.
And with « Only » 8S i’m happy of the torque and top speed too!
