ok, first things done, as usual with some set backs…
I figured out that the deck I received was the wrong ply.
Luckily we could figure out an arrangement and my new deck is on the way.
For now I started with the 15ply as I wanted to get back in the work.
3D printed dual Focbox case is done.
3D printed battery box is done
got some new griotape, as I really didn’t like the trampa stock griptape on the holypro.
installed the steering damper on the front axel
changed the bullet connectors on the focbox to 5.5mm guess now I lost my guaranty
jst 2mm extension for the aps motor sensor wires done
Bluetooth module done
8AWG power cables from battery to the vescs done
fuse serial plug for the battery box done
I was quite surprised that soldering 8AWG to the xt90 was so easy. read a lot of people here had some issues.
I used a small thin gauged an twisted it around the end, than added some solder to the wire and to the plug, heated up everything and put it together.
My new friend is liquid tape…just used it for all open metallic parts I found.
Maybe it looks not so accurate, but the result is what matters!
My battery box is equipped with a xt90 serial plug in which I integrated a 58V 100A fuse. Hope I choose the right size. If not I can change it to 80A or 125a which I have as spare too.
This weekend it was finally at the time to set up the focboxes
Everything went well till the motor detection…
than this happened
Don´t know what it caused to fail, but now I´ll need to find a replacement for this motor…
Thx for the imput. My problem with it for now is just to get the right sized magnet.
Unfortunately I don’t have old 6384 motors where I could dismount one magnet
Small update:
As one of my APS 6384 motors broke while motor detection I needed to find an alternative to come back on the road…
Luckily my old sealed 6374 motors from eskating.eu survived the fire and only the wires where burned.
So I decided to open them up, clean them and set the wires up again.
The problem with it, they have a 8mm shaft, the APS motors 10mm and so does all the new motor sprockets unfortunately too.
I have two 15mm 15th motor pulleys, but here the next problem appears…all the belts I have are too short…
So I ordered a set of new belts.
As I didn´t want to wait till the belts come from china, I thought why not to use the opportunity to 3D print my own 66th pulley which should fit than to the longest felt I have at home…
And as result I got this:
I think not so bad for the next time.
Tonight I need to print the second one and than theoretically I could get things running
The APS motors I ordered, still not sent…
They promised to get the new batch this week, so I patiently wait for my order as min three more weeks.
Meanwhile this arrived:
Thx @stewii for the escapes, @LukePL for the spare dual case and @moon for the two Flipsky 6.6. Very happy that everything passed the customs without problems!
The order from unik boards @okp unfortunately got stuck at the customs and it was not that easy to get them explained what it is, for what I need it and so on and so on…my bad Russian knowledge made it not more easy took good 2 weeks of brining different documents till it´s finally made it to my home.
But I already like my Freeride bindings and the new sprockets for my Superstar hubs
had a lucky sunny weekend and could finally take the board for a ride.
that´s how it looks in wild life…
I´m a bit disapointed about the steering damper.
Was hoping to get a bit a bigger range of variation from tight to lose.
Riding my board here in Russia is always a bit a kind a strange.
Don´t wanna know in how much videos I have been again on the weekend…
It´s not common here. There millions of E-Scooter on the road, but a e-MTB is hard to catch.
Unfortunatly I run in the next problem.
I can´t get off the nut which hold the wheel on the hanger.
It´s just turning but not moving…looks like the thread is fu…ed…
let´s hope it´s just from the nut not from the hanger
Looks like I´ll need to dremel it somehow off.
If there some other idea, you welcome to give me some advice!
As I can´t upload videos her (and my youtube not ready)
If somebody interested you can find me and some short clips of my last weekend ride
on Instagram Mister87twister
Just had some dremel time.
So good to have one at home. Just can recommend everybody to have one at home.
You never know when you gonna need it…
Got the nut off quite easy…and way much more fast as I thought.
Unfortunately the thread of the truck totally fucked still don’t understand how it could come so far. The trucks where like new and I didn’t tighten the nut too much.
Does anybody know if there is a way to recut the thread?
I don’t have big hopes, also not to only replace the shaft as the shaft should be pressed inside the truck and I don’t have the tools to get it out.
If there is a way to fix it, i would appreciate to get some idea!
For inner threads I already made it.
For outer threads I‘m not sure about which diameter to choose.
Need to read a bit about it and look what a set for my need will cost
I had the same problem with one of mine
If you have a look a my build, I had to pull the axle out and make a new one.
Have a chat to Trampa and see what they say about it.
Can you write me the link to your build?
Interested how you got the shaft out.
I already have a new hanger.
The old one i will try to cut a new smaller thread to have it as back up hanger laying at home.
