I have a few spare parts so I have gotten the itch to make a new build.
Since my 2 other boards are huge monsters, I am considering making a small portable board for those times I just want to grab my helmet and go run an errand.
Thing I already have:
Caliber II 50 trucks
eskating mounts
MBS AT wheels
6355 maytech motors
Maytech remote
Wheel and motors pulleys and belts
Things I need:
Deck (something like the Jet Tayto, unfortunately I did not take part in the EU group buy by @bigben)
Enclosure (@eboosted single stack looks fantastic, see above)
Battery (I will make a 12S3P with 30Q cells)
BMS (Besttech D140)
ESC (2x Foxboxes or a Unity? I need to find a supplier in Europe to keep costs down)
I don’t need 10S for that board since my other boards are 12S I do not want to have to deal with multiple chargers. I have 2 charges 1 at home and 1 at work.
What other options apart from the ones listed above would you suggest.? Keep in mind I live in a very hilly area in a country with a hot summer climate so things like single motor builds, low powered electronics etc simply will not cut it.
Since its just a budget light weight board i would just post a WTB uses small deck thread.
Im sure someone has something laying around for cheap.
Same with the focboxes. Maybe a maytech 100a dual vesc if you toss a heatsink on there.
At 12s3p your not going to be pushing the vesc to hard so a unity seems overkill.
I’d pick up some 90mm wheels maybe even 83mm
Sealed. They fit just fine with 9mm belts. Here is a photo of a previous iteration of my board.
9mm belts are not the best solution but for a relatively low powered build that will not be used as much as my Evo they will have to do. In the future I may get e-calibers to switch to 15mm belts.
I am afraid of using anything other than a Focbox, Ollin or Vesc6 on 12S. Buy once cry once…
Lol…
Dude you are killing me, I am trying to find cheaper alternatives here…
Anyway, I like the looks of the Tayto with eboosted enclosure more.
However since this is supposed to be a budget build (which with you lot will most likely end up costing more than my car ) so keep the ideas coming. All of them …
Just a quick one @taz - I believe Ben intends to build an enclosure for the spud/tayto and so there will be a European option for the enclosure. His prices are about 1/3rd the price as well, so that’s a nice bonus
I’m going to use two racerstar 5065’s on 60cm SR TKP trucks with 85mm caguamas and some home made mounts and removable 8s3p battery and a flipsky 4.20 plus. Should be light and tight for shopping and to keep in the back of my car. I have no need to tackle hills with it, that’s what the other crazy builds are for.
