Yep, reverse enabled. If it went forward it would have crashed into a different curb.
One reason why I dont have reverse enabled on mine. There may be an issue with the nano x and the throttle got stuck under the switch so it would appear to be fine but it is actually on full throttle. If the remote is relatively new contact enertion and tell them worst they can do is say sorry your fucks but …

Rebuilt from scratch on a rayne killswitch. I cleaned everything, except for the remote… I should probably clean that, or disable reverse.
That took a while! The battery is now securely mounted to the deck itself with command strips, and neoprene foam + weather stripping for a little bit of extra support and vibration dampening. All other components minus the focboxes which need a press fit to the external heatsinks are also securely mounted to the deck.
I did my best to water/weatherproof it with multiple layers of nice squishy weather stripping, cutting holes, channels, and sealing along all the holes and channels. I went around the weather stripping and hot glued between the enclosure to fill the gap on the outside.
It’s crazy how much smaller it is compared to my old deck, it feels weird. I wanted to get this for parts for a Haya, now I’m thinking about starting that one completely from scratch.

I just can’t stay away from having a boost converter on deck. My watt meter got destroyed in the accident, so I went with a simple voltage meter on the 6S battery input side of the boost converter to just read and beep when it’s time to swap packs.
The wiring is much cleaner than before, and I don’t think the whole setup looks too bad.

Your title says TB/Paris trucks but I can’t find any mention of the Paris trucks in your build, did you ever use them on this? All I see are the TBs

Yep, the front truck on this is a Paris 180 since the other TB truck was destroyed in the accident when it was on a Rayne Demonseed. The front truck is silver, that’s the Paris. I think I like how the Paris truck on the front increases maneuverability, and makes it feel kinda surfy.
But the drive wheels have always been TB?

Yep. The old rear truck was demolished, so I moved the old TB front to the back to mount the motors on.
I though the motors got toasted
edit: nvm I’m blind

Yeah, I thought so too. Just one broken magnet in the end, but all the bits were still in place and the glue seems to be holding well. The scratchiness of both motors has settled down as well.
Woah, do you have a build guide of sorts on the adapter for the powertool battery? I have a few Makita powertool batteries lying around and am thinking of using them to power a board.

Yeah, earlier in this thread are more step by step pictures how I set it up the first time.
It’s easy enough, basically just somehow wire the battery into the in side of a boost converter, set the pots to the correct charge voltage and appropriate amps, and wire the output of the boost converter to a plug compatible with your charge port.
For your tool batteries, design a slot they can click into and a clever way to mount it. I’d suggest printing in Nylon since it’s pliable and the boost converter will be vibrating a ton while riding. The vibrations will kill your boost converter without silicone or e6000 or something smothered around all the components on the converter PCB- that’s how mine died once, a mosfet broke loose.

Hey! New member in here and I want to build an helical gear electric skateboard. Your work looks amazing ! I was wondering if you could share your CAD, or maybe you already done it but I didn’t find it yet…
Wow Mad respect you have hella character what a read
