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

I used these settings for each VESC, didn’t feel it too powerful but pretty good, I’ll bump motor max to 80A tomorrow

amazing Alan! please can you add it on http://esk8builds.com or give me permissions to do it by myself :slight_smile:

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 :heart_eyes:

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
