My main use would be just riding to my car parked on the street since sometimes I have to park half a mile away and I work very early mornings, and maybe eventually more for leisure, not looking for speed (heck, 10mph is plenty fast for me) but I do weigh about 200#'s (but working on getting lower) so I don’t need a performance beast.
Originally my plan was to add focboxes to my diyeboard kit with dual 50mm motor belt drives, I’ve decided instead to just build a new single drive board from scratch, just to try it out, and probably sell the diyeboard.
So far I have:
97mm ABEC clones wheels
Torque Boards 218mm trucks
Torque Boards 6374 190KV sensored motor
Aluminum dual idler motor mount
On order I have:
Enertion Nano-X controller
Enertion FOCBox (x2, will probably end up selling one)
and for battery and enclosures, from wowgo I have on order from WOWGO
Slightly upgraded 5.2AH 10s battery
their new style battery and esc enclosure (but am thinking of getting a different single enclosure the length of the board)
for deck, I’m thinking about this one
My main goal is to basically lego this whole thing together and keep fabrication and fiddling time as low as possible, since I find the more I have to fabricate the more wind gets taken out of my sails and my interest dwindles.
My main reason for doing all this was the braking is awful with chinese board ESC’s (I’ve had a WOWGO board as well) so I’m hoping I will be able to configure the FOCBOX to give me smooth gradual braking without launching me off the board at the slightest touch of the brake.
some xt-60 connectors to make some wiring for the battery to focboxes and antispark setup.
glossy carbon vinyl to wrap the bottom of the board with.
Focboxes and remote shipped, so hopefully those will come soon, but I can’t do anything until the enclosures and battery come from wowgo, which looks like it won’t be before the holidays.
I do get the deck on Friday so I can at least get the trucks and stuff on.
so I received the focboxes (one is a spare) and enertion controller, and battery with enclosures from wowgo, but I decided to go a different route with the enclosure, so I ordered a kydex one from mboards.co since i decided against doing a split enclosure and having to route channels for all the wires. The new enclosure will also leave room if I want to add a second battery down the line for more range, I can just pick another one later, so I will wire in 2 xt60’s on the input side for future-proofing.
I also ordered an e-switch, since I figured I’ll want it anyways down the line I might as well just get it over with now. It’ll make things a lot easier, since I’d like the switch on top of the board, so will be making an aluminum plate to cover both the truck holes in the deck and will extend and mount the switch to the top of the board on one of the plates.
I haven’t had the time I want to build this yet, but after the Holidays I will go back at it. Still in the parts gathering phase, and the board remains as last pictured.
I just figured im this far in, so build the board i really want, and that would be a dual. probably couldve stuck with 6355 but i already had the one 6374 so no sense in completepy changing both motors.
