There is definitely a right way. The side thatā€™s a square is positive

Here is a shameless selfplug:

I have made somewhat of a tutorial and it is a bad video but still for the option

Guys I was watching this thread: https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/haya-integrated-deck/68132/19 and want to reply but I canā€™t reply anymore or something on that thread, the reply buttons are simply not showing up

Try posting again now. Iā€™ve seen other people mention they canā€™t post in threads before and I think its to do with the category the topic is posted under. So ive moved the thread to the new items for sale section. Hopefully that fixes it for you.

Thank you it worked! didnt know you could do that thanks :slight_smile:

Yea that part of th forum is a bit messed up. I think it was supposed to be more of a category header for the market with people then posting in the matching section. New, used, GroupBuy etc. So when someone posts in just the part market and not under the sub category then only regulars can reply.

shit i was regular haha

Hi all,

Iā€™m in the end game of picking parts for my board and Iā€™m looking to buy the final parts this weekend. However, I have run into a few hiccups that I canā€™t seem to find answers to after quite a bit of searching. That being said, here are my (hopefully final) noob questions. :sweat_smile:

First and foremost, the wheelbase on my board is 21" and my current choice of enclosure is 19.88". According to the picture below, that means I wonā€™t have enough space to mount my motor underneath. I have looked for a smaller enclosure of the quality of the one above and havenā€™t found much. If anyone has suggestions / links to an enclosure that can fit this wheelbase and a 10s3p pack that would be amazing! Otherwise, I think might have to settle with a 10S2P. :slightly_frowning_face:

Second, Iā€™ve read a lot about this BMS, but have yet to find a definitive answer as to whether or not the E-switch included negates the need for a separate solid-state switch like this one. Despite its larger size, I really like this because I donā€™t need to bypass discharge (as far as I understand), so if I could confirm that I donā€™t need a separate switch for this that would make this choice a lot easier.

Any and all input is welcome. Thanks again!

It looks like you want to make an xt90s loop key. In that case it doesnā€™t matter to which side you connect the red wire.

Otherwise if you look on the xt90 connector you can see on the side a + symbol on the flat side or a - symbol on the curved side.

Happy eskating.

image Am I missing anything here to get my motors and battery hooked up?

Battery has switch, charger, bms, and voltage meter.

Just donā€™t want to be missing anything last minute.

10awg wires Solder and a solder iron :sweat_smile: Bullet connectors for your motor wires

I already have the 1st 2 things, and top item in my list is the 5.5mm bullet connectors.

Can I have 2 different charging ports on my battery? One 5.5 for 2amp , and an xt60 for 6a fast charging? :thinking::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Or perhaps make an adapter for one port

You need something like this for your phase wires image

I thought thats what those are on top? zoom in. they are labeled as "special bannana connectors on flipskys site, but when you click on them they are 5.5mm bullet connectors.

Why not. Set them up parallel will not affect each other. Or as you said make an adapter but keep in mind to choose the charging wires big enough for the higher amps
