you could copy my enclosure and give all segments double height 
in the official @trampa build thread, frank wants to build a 11S4P battery and if you check his enclosure, thats probably as much as you can distribute along the length of the board. if you want more, youll have to use a double layer 18650.
I still dont think 80cells is a good idea
You could fit 12S2P in that box + 2xVesc 6. I just want a bit of space left to experiment with the VMS once Benjamin finds the time to make it happen.
Frank
What is a VMS?
that sounds like too few cells. i could fit 40 cells in my segments PLUS a large segment that has the volume for 2x vesc6 (just that I screwed it up with the large 5.5mm bullet connectors.
your 11S4P = 44 cells seemed very reasonable for a one piece box, maybe even 10S5P?
Sorry 12S4P… My fault.
Cheers, Frank
I guess i was looking on a build for distance on pneumatics. Right now i have a board and the farthest i can go on a single charge is 3.5 miles with 175mm pneumatics and since i already have all the parts im looking to the batteries to provide the distance maybe 6 miles or 8
This Battery will get you 45Km far on street wheels and 30km on pneumatics.

I bought ZABI 175 tires. Unfortunately they are not the best, they are narrow (only 40mm), the maximum pressure is 30 bar and they look bad. ZABI 200 tires are excellent, unfortunately the smaller 175mm no longer.
I can upload pictures but I do not want to clutter your topic
Hey @whitepony I know I’m a bit late but where do the balance wires go + side - side or does it matter. Also where do they go on the 2s4p end - thanks
No balance wires or bms were used in this build by the looks of it.
@whitepony doesn’t usually use a BMS on his builds, so there aren’t any balance wires. Where you’ve circled, the batteries are connected straight across.
that’s 11S4P. The one side is 6 cell blocks long the other 5 cell blocks long. Take the 5 cell block side as an example for the balance wires. I also have the cells all pointing to one side with their plus pole to allow the flex. Your layout will put strain on the cell block connectors.
Frank
Yea, if anyone could answer that’d be great, I’m interested too
whitepony, Thanks for the another amazing build, this is such a great inspiration as always and makes me build one for myself just to feel what’s like to ride a board like this.
Awesome job!
@whitepony thanks for this very inspiring build, i followed this thread from start, so idecided to build my first eskate based on this build, just wanna ask http://m.ebay.com/itm/151895916320 will this wire be good? And have you tries 12s w/o bms? I read some threads about 12s and its too much power and not yet stable in foc.
that wire looks exactly like the one I was using! never tried 12S, all you have to take into consideration is the motor erpm limit of the vesc 4.12 if you planned to use that.
Im finally at the bottom!
great job pony, clean as F*ck and low CG to boot. looks like your inspiring the ones who enjoy that stealth look to learn vac bagging!
A pelican box will suit my taste, as ill be swapping batteries and performance isnt an issue. But that enclosure sure is sexy 
I hope to hear more from ppl using these ZABI tires. I dont think their available here in the U.S. though. 
Thanks man, probably ill stay safe with 10s and maybe when i got more experience in setting those speed controllers, then ill go for 12s…
can I do it without vacuum? what is soaking layer (what material)? Can I apply soaked layers of glas? Can I make it only with glas, no carbon? if I understood everything right (sorry if I take too much time, I don’t speak english very well) 1.making wooden form, mounting it to deck with tape 2.covering it with separation foil 3.using wooden blocks I apply and secure layers glas 4.I soak glas 5.I put it to vacuum bag 6. next day I remove it from vacuum
