ESK8 Builds
1

So its about ready, my first build, coming from an exway x1 i hope to be scared! The exways let down is the silly short range, i needed more range and going on local grouprides enforced this more. So i started reading here and what a resource! this build is 99% a forum harvest, so thank you to all you folks.

Heres the spec…

Thanks all for your kind comments :slight_smile:

I still have a way to go and a mental list of things to do.

Fit and setup unity (the most daunting bit as i have no idea what settings to use)

Fit underglow leds

Buy 3d printer and learn how to use it.

Design and print front and rear lights.

Decide on and get some full face protection.

Setting up unity is actually easier than you think. Just download the app and use the guided configuration

This thing is great, one of the fewer hummie options with geardrive and even front mounted! How is the clearance in the back? Any room for bigger motors?

16

Its tight! Maybe 3mm clearance between hanger and can. I also removed around 10mm from the deck to give room for the geardrive casing when leaning.

For a first battery that’s a :peach:

It should be harder to blow a unity over an older design, you’ll enjoy the rabbit hole of 3d printing no doubt

Thanks, it was fun to build.

As for the 3d printing, i have the ideas in my head but gotta learn how to get them drawn, another challenge to keep me busy :slight_smile:

I’ve bench blown (once actually explosive) a few of the 4.12 and a focbox or two, the common problems seem to be eliminated, going from the build pics and detail above I don’t see an expensive failure in your future

This is how sturdy they are apparently https://forum./t/my-time-with-enertions-unity-beta-1-foc-motor-controller/17?u=magharees
