I definitely wanna do a DD. Don’t think ill ever do a hud drive just because of my roads. Might be trying out since gear drives fairly soon tho.

My next project really tho is replacing what’s left of the original parts on the riptide. So far I’ve replaced, trucks/mounts, pullys, wheels. Ive got two focboxes ready to install. And a cheap 10s2p 25r battery. Need to find some 170-200 kv 63xx motors

Is this the one that came with the psychotiller pack?
Mine did the same thing… flipsky.
Doesn’t seem like these are very good 
Yep that’s the one. Think I’ll just go with a loopkey.

It’s whatever.
I’m more annoyed that it burnt my enclosure and now there’s a deformity on the outside.
But it was bound to get scraped up so 
It seems like a well-built loopkey is more reliable anyways.
I did get the board to full speed a few times before it blew. So much fun. I Wanna go faster @dareno
Also I’m slightly worried about my motor clearance. I can’t raise them up anymore without them hitting the deck during a turn but they’re scraping more than i like.
Option A) forget mounting drop through and just top mount that should give me more room to adjust the mounts. Option B) take a file to the rear of the deck like I did for the hangers and make a little more room for the motors.

LOL, all the discussion above about why it is slow, and all you needed to do was charge the battery. 
I would file the corners off the rear of the deck. You have committed to the lowrider life, can’t back out now. 
How did the switch blow, while you ridding it? Sounds scary.

Yeah I was riding it at Full Throttle too. I had just enough speed and momentum to roll the last block home
Lucky you didn’t get ejected super man style onto the street.

Damn Red Dead Redemption 2.

I have it downloaded but I still haven’t started the tutorial. I don’t think my soldering iron is quite up to the track
Anti spark or not, weather looks great next few days. Gonna break this thing in. I haven’t put loctite on anything yet. But i check motors and mounts before and after every ride. I also check motor pullys, wheel pullys and axles before each trips. (To and from the store is two trips) Im still adjusting things, adding stuff . And id kinda like to take it completely apart and not only paint but document the build properly .
I gotta address the motor clearance. I know these dark matter motors are know for failure after one good hit. Don’t wanna break magnets over a single piece of gravel.

One thing I learned on my first build is to at least blue loctite even on inaugural rides. It sucks losing little screws.

My trips are never more than a few blocks at a time. I literally check every bolt.
Haha you’re more careful than me… I start enjoying the ride and before i know it I’ve gone miles.
I have no discipline.
