WHEW! 20 DAYS SINCE LAST UPDATE. BOY DO I HAVE UPDATES FOR YOU GUYS
AFTER DOING ROUNDS WITH USPS LOOKING FOR MY FREAKIN’ PACKAGE fu usps, i finally found it in a mail center like 15 miles from where i was. expensive uber trip
anyways…all’s well that ends well. A huge shout out to @Jlabs this dude has been a freaking wizard throughout the whole process. Seriously, he went waaaaay above just being a supplier of many of my parts, He soldered everything cause he knew i didn’t have access. He helped me organize everything, helped with vescs…list goes on. He’s been awesome and i’m 100% overwhelmed and happy that there’s guy’s like him willing to help new builders on the forum. But don’t go to him without studying first i’m sure he’d hate that.
Now some build porn
Basic 36v 2A charger. I’ll stick with it to preserve cell life. Will probably charge while i’m at work or asleep. with this 10s4p battery i doubt i’d need to charge so often. Commute is a 4mile round trip. VESCS in the enclosure, Jared was very kind to label them as he did programming of them while he had them. He also labelled the motors so i know which is which. Test fitting everything in the enclosure. Need to tidy things up obviously. Will be using cable ties, Gorilla glue and Velcro in multiple places. Also have some nice neoprene foam that i will be using under the battery and vescs for vibration dampening. Not much i can say. Pulleys feel amazing. Very solid and nicely grooved to really lock into the wheel. I’m using his standard flywheel?@jlabs pulleys and they fit like a glove in the MBS. 36T for a 16/36T config. These motors are Thiccc. Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Thicker than Demi Lovato. Thicker than Thicc. They’re also heavier than i expected I can imagine they pack a mean punch. Helmet on guard. Jared also went out of his way to help me extend the sensor wires due to reverse mount configYeah that’s pretty much the update for now; will get to doing more stuff tomorrow. Already added the neoprene and will mount the battery inside the enclosure. It’s an @Eboosted enclosure i got from Jared and it’s slim and a perfect fit on the bintang. It’s the 12S universal enclosure. I’ve got a USB port, Bluetooth Module, Receiver and all sorts in that enclosure and it all fits like a glove.
More updates to come tomorrow. Will mount the motors using @Deckoz technique for TB mounts Hopefully that works. I see a @marcmt88 dual idler mount in my near future though (June) :’).
To Do;
- Drill deck for inserts
- Mount VESCS and battery in enclosure
- Attach Pulleys and test mounting configs
- Braided wire for motor phase wires and sensor wire
- Ride the hell out of this thing.
- Set up bluetooth module
- Race past all the eskaters on campus
- Settle on a name for the build.
Till tomorrow
