So this is my second build and parts are starting to arrive, I thought I’d do a build thread to try and help others looking for an affordable diy option.
So far I have gotten the esc and 97mm clones. Both of these parts I ordered form @dickyho and have arrived form China within 2 weeks. Now that is just amazing service, the parts were also very well packaged and I am very happy with the quality and price. Thanks Dicky
I also sanded down and wrapped the bottom of the cheap eBay deck in carbon fibre vinyl, it looks great and costs less than $3
Looks pretty good ! I might do quite the same shape but with aluminium, I fear that wood isn’t resistant enough. I’ve seen a picture of a screw or nail that got all the way into the enclosure, happened while riding. I don’t want that to happen to my battery enclosure.
I have now finally finish the esc case. This one took a little longer to get right because of some of the angles in the design but I’m pretty happy with the outcome. Sorry for not many pictures I forgot to take them during the building process
You can get rid of most air bubbles by making a tiny hole with a sharp end of a blade (to allow air to escape) and then pressing on the bubble. I did this on mine and I remove all bubbles.
Yeah I did that for the deck. There aren’t actually any air bubbles in the cases it just looks like it because some bits are slightly uneven since I cut and glued the wood together by hand
This took longer than I thought but I think all parts have arrived now so I will be starting to do a mock up later tonigh and will have more pictures then
