Lightweight City Cruiser
Can take a bit of punishment, specifically expansion gaps from bike paths
Speed is not a priority but at least 18mph
Can do uphills (90kg rider)
My Ideas so far:
A)
Battery: 10s2p 30q
Motor: Carvon V4 TD
Front Truck: I don’t know what’s compatible with the TD
Wheels: ABEC 11s, I’m not sure what size is good to help with bumpy rides/shock absorption
ESC: FOCBox/TB/Maytech
B) Budget Friendly
Battery: 2x5s LiPos
Motor: Ownboard Hubs
Trucks: Ownboard Trucks
ESC: Ownboard ESC + remote
Pray to God shock pads are enough to dampen vibration from the expansion gaps
C)
Battery: 10s2p or 2x5 LiPos
Motor/Gearing: Single 6374 170kv 16/36
Trucks: Stick with the polar bears if a mount is available or use caliber ii
Wheels: ABEC 11,?
ESC: FOCBox,TB,Maytech
A or C, both of them are really nice I would personally go for C, just because I think Carvons on such a small board are bit overkill but it could end up in really sexy build Also C will be the lightest of all the options
I plan on doing build like this one, but I dont have a need for so much power
Sorry for the weird pics. I am doing a dinghy right meow! Im going 10s2p 190kv 6374 single. I am acrually going to make the mold off that plug tomorrow.
I also used the shorter caliber trucks (160s vs 184s). Had to mod the hanger a bit to get enough clearance. But I think the size fits the build a bit better.
even with the 160mm truck it still looks pretty wide so yes. The 180mm truck will look weird.
@Sender how do you make your mold if you don’t mind me asking. Like what material did you use.
@DeathByBacon I’m in the process of making a small cruiser that’s relatively light. 29 in x 7.5 deck with kicktail. I use Paris truck originally for HUBs but TorqueBoard doesn’t seem to know when they will get them so I just switch to chain-drive. If I have the money, I’d go for carvon HUBs. MBS wheels would be great IMO.
I haven’t finished it yet. I was sick (fucking strep throat) this week. I am pretty sure it is because I was hammered on St Patties day and ate some random half eaten chicken wings from some strangers plate. Or thats what my friends tell me at least .
I need to get on it though because it is for my bambino and his birthday is april 4th!
If the enclosure looks good, I can make one for you because I now have a mold.
Not here to derail. But @Sender, I’m doing a build on an old Powell deck of much the same dimension as the dinghy. I would be interested in obtaining an enclosure possibly as well. There might be a small market for those wanting to do a smaller build needing a specific enclosure.
Where did you get that colored glass fiber sheet from and what thickness is that?
I wasn’t able to get those nice corners, had to do sanding a lot.
This looks awsome!
Makes me wanna build one for my son too.
