My friend and I live in the states and just graduated from Evolve Skateboards. The boards were fun for a while but we want something better. We are creating this build log to get help along the way.
Right now we are in the process of selecting and ordering parts. Our proposed parts list is as follows…
The Board from Trampa:
Trampa HS11 16Ply Deck
Superstar Hubs
Vertigo Trucks
Some 7 or 8 inch tire
binding with heel straps [Ratchet or Velcro?]
I’d drop the kv on these a bit if I was you, with a 200mm tire max theoretical top speed will be just over 40mph. somewhere over 30mph torsional twist on Trampa decks is a real safety issue.
I have 160kv, you can still run the 200kv if you want but please be careful & gear up, even releasing the throttle can induce the board to buck and shimmy at +35mph.
I’ve also heard good things about the Q30s cells. Do you know where the best place to buy nickel strip and shrink wrap for building packs? I’ve heard of a lot of crap nickel strip out there.
You might want to consider buying the holy pro 35 instead of the HS11. Especially if you plan to mount your batteries underneath the deck, and want a little more ground clearence for offroad
I tried ebay Chinese sellers but it takes to long.
so option 1 amazon if you find something that is fulfilled by them
option 2 banggood you can buy express post
I don’t quite understand why the holy pro deck would give me more clearance. From what I can tell they are exactly the same with exception of the weight saving holes. Same 35 degree riser angle.
Both, but probably not riding on anything too rough off road. probably going to drop down to the 170 kv. I also think that 12S4P is fine; basing the battery pack off of eboosted’s pheonix build. Saw your post of that, thanks!
True Nama, but take Bimmers 170kv motors, they are testing out to 174kv…
& my scorpions are within a few kv.
How heavy are your motors Nama? I think the lighter motors often come up low? I could be wrong though, just my limited experience with a handful of different motors
