onloop changed to just to HACK:… so i changed it back to how-to but left hack. it’s my own issue.
back on topic - i’ve used the clone and genuine flywheels - i too noticed the clones were inconsistent - super tight bearings and not tight… No biggie. I also had folks complain about the 'thane quality and feel. When brand new they were a bit slick w/ release agent, but after a few miles they’ve broken in just fine. Not as sticky as flywheels, not quite as soft duro as flywheel - but totally doable.
Something else i noticed is that the enertion pulleys want to sit slightly deeper into the clones than they do the ABEC 11s. Again, its barely noticeable, but i’m wondering if a thin plate behind the pulley would help keep alignment from ever becoming an issue due to this.
So while I am still waiting for my order from Enertion to ship I figured I would try to do something a little custom with my grip tape. *the red looks a lot redder in person.
I was going to (and still might) inlay red grip tape on the rest of the cut outs. But I really like seeing that carbon fiber through the tape.
In order to make the “E-board Builds” category really easy to search & locate specific builds i am asking that you change your title to something descriptive that better expresses the makeup of your build.
Most of the new build threads tend to end up with a name such as
"new- noob - noobie - beginner - first - build - help - newb" this becomes hard to keep track of.
I would like to see each build thread with a descriptive title, such as;
Project Name | Deck Name | Trucks | Motor type | Mounting method | Voltage/Battery | ESC
Example
The Samurai | Custom Deck | Paris Trucks | R-SPEC | Custom Mount | 10S | VESC
So all the parts are here. At least for now. I bought a single motor kit but decided after they came that the parts are to amazing not to go with a double set up. So more parts to come.
So far it is going slow, just because I don’t have much time. Everything is going toget her real nice. The motor is mounted up and looks like the belt is dialed in. I spent alot of time on that, just making sure it was perfect.
Tomorrow I plan to solider the bullet connectors to the vesc, get everything connected and hopefully get a bench test. Then Sunday I am going to make a temporary enclosure for everything so I can ride it until winter gets here.
In the winter my plan is to set this up as a dual motor setup when the parts come in. I also plan on cutting into that awesome deck, reinforcing it with cf, and sinking the battery into it. Then I will make the permanent enclosure with a mix of carbon fiber and 3d printed parts.
Stay tuned.
