I got my board yesterday, its a Globe Spearpoint Bambo. I tried to ride it down an incline, while picking up speed it started to wobble and i fell on my ass.
I’m looking for wheels now, not sure yet if vinyl or pneumatic.

Finished the motor mount and attached the wheel pulley. Sadly there was not enough space to leave the tracks drop trough…
Now im waiting for the belt. I’m also thinking about how to buld the case for the battery and esc.

I had to make some improvements on the board and the motor.
The motor mount was flexing and the belt started skipping so i welded a small triangle in place. It is better now but the belt still skips when braking hard so i will probably add a idler pulley next.
The second problem was that the motor started breaking unexpectedly, i first tought that it hits the mount or board somewhere becaus this happend only wheen steering in corners.
Then i realized that because of the movements the copper strands in the motor rubbed against each other and created a short.
I opend the motor, cut the bad copper strands and soldered silicone wire in place. I also fixed them with cable ties so this problem will not reproduce.
All in all i am not too happy with the quality of the KEDA 63-64 Motor, its still working but other than the cable problem, there is some wobble and i had some set screws come loose.

Mounted a big 13s6p battery, its crazy fast. Sadly the ground clearance is too low, its like a lowered sports car and speed bumps are the enemy.
I added more reinforcements to the mount because it was still flexing a little bit. Its rock solid now.

I managed to shred my first belt while driving over gravel. But whats even worse, the stones got into the motor and destroyed the windings

Dang I have just finished my first build with this same motor! Will definitely watch out for gravel and maybe add a 3d printed cover… Looking good though, my 100mm boa wheels are ordered
