Aha, Then I understand. Board looking sick btw:heart_eyes:
That looks incredible!! It’s a BEAST!!!
This build looks great
Wow theres still a lot of space between those motors! You should try fitting some 6384 motors. For science of course!
I might be trying those soon, but as I already had those I’ll keep them for now
Battery, BMS, antispark switch done:
Trucks, truck holders, carbon fiber fiber wrap, done:
Tomorrow tasks:
- Install nutserts and enclosure mounting bolts
- Install led light for antispark switch
- Install charger port
- Install motor mounts and motors
- Change the jst connectors from the motors
- Program the Focboxes with latest firmware and set up the limits
- Fabricate a new 3 pin remote cable
- Install remote receiver
- Buy and install grip tape
- Remove all bolts in order to add Loctite
- Sand keyway until it motor pullies slide in
- Test ride
Damn! I thought I was close, this might take 2 or 3 more days =(
Deck looks great with carbon fiber. Did you just use normal vinyl wrap that’d be used for wrapping cars? I’ve always wanted to try but was worried it wouldn’t adhere well to a wooden deck
Yeah, I used some leftovers from a car wrap job, in fact it didn’t adhere very well. I had to spray the whole board and wrap with urethane lacquer, now the wrap is pretty good adhered
Install nutserts and enclosure mounting bolts. Done Install led light for antispark switch. Done Install charger port. Done Install motor mounts and motors. Done Change the jst connectors from the motors. Done Program the Focboxes with latest firmware and set up the limits. Done
I used these settings for each VESC, didn’t feel it too powerful but pretty good, I’ll bump motor max to 80A tomorrow
Motor Max 70A Motor Min -65 Batt Max 40A Batt min -25A
Fabricate a new 3 pin remote cable. Done Install remote receiver. Done Remove all bolts in order to add Loctite. Done Sand keyway until it motor pullies slide in. Done Test ride. Done
It’s was pretty crazy to run 12S FOC
Buy and install grip tape On the works.
Here are all electronics inside the enclosyre ready.
Enclosure closed:
Underneath:
A little of grip tape just for the test ride while I cut my hexagons:
amazing Alan! please can you add it on http://esk8builds.com or give me permissions to do it by myself
Always love your builds. You might have room for these
Cool build! Like it! Where did you get the enclosure from?
Of course Miquel, go ahead, when I find time it’s going to be too late
If I knew there was going so to be much space, I’d have jumped on them.
I made it myself, I have several designs.
So I decided to make an honycomb design but meaner.
Step 1: Remove the temporary grip tape
Step 2: Paint the survace with matte ferrari red urethane car paint
Step #3: Cut heagons, tons of them
Step #4: Stick them one by one
Step #5: Force the GF to mount the trucks
Step #6: Install the led switch
Step #7: Step back and stare at the final board foor 1 hour
Step #8: Test ride it
Step #8: Ride the Darth Maul home
This is the first time I ride FOC withn no issues, the board extremely silent and a real acceleration beast, I reach top speed real fast, there is definitely less final speed than BLDC mode but the smoothness of launching from dead stops and cruising is definitely rewarding.
This has become my favorite e-board by far, it’s like ruding a brand new car with sexy looks, I’m in love again
My VESC settings are:
Motor Max 80A Motor Min -65A Battery Max 40A Battery Min -20A
I still need to dial in the braking at low speeds, it lock the brakes before it reaches dead stops.
@torqueboards The trucks are amazing @kaly the motors are beasts and are working flawlessly @okp thanks for the inspiration @tueboard Update the build with these final pictures
