pics? The way you describe your build gets my nipples hard.
Iâm also interested in pics too, of your enclosure specifically.
tomorrow, iâll take some good ones. its starting to get beat up, but its just as functional.
@onloop I agree but where are the sleek, reliable DIY hand controllers options? I think this is still a huge gap.
The wireless nunchuck/kama seems to work pretty well if you solder the receiver in rather than using a plug and play solution like the Wiiceiver
I can totally agree on this. While the nunchuck/kama solution is pretty bad ass, that directional stick (while I have yet to try it) does have me slightly worried. It does give some tactile feed back, but its not going to be nearly as strong as the boostedâs disc system.
The stick itself isnt ideal to ride with. Itâs all about the perpetual steez button.
All you have to do is press that button and ride.
Man those are some tiny ass motors and battery!! LOL
Iâm 6â2" and 240lbsâŚI would kill a Boosted board. SO glad I didnât pop on one. After seeing the teardownâŚNot impressed at all. Wasnât Boosted started by Stanford graduates? Nice try boysâŚ
I think you have the wrong idea of how there drive train works. Iâm 98kg 10kg less then you and I can climb and hill I have come across, bigger motors mean nothing if your gearing isnât high enough.
The boosted uses a 1:3.5 where a raptor with bigger motors use a 1:2.6 it is a big difference.
I have pulled my boosted apart many times and I am very happy with the over all quality.
Evoheyaxâ board is so funny! It reminds me of an Rc car with its headlights and working brake lights. Itâs a brick! No curve at all. I rode it. I donât know how he rides it so fast
Bellow is a photo of side boosted board could you tell me what these parts are called and what they do and how they function this would be very helpful.
From the looks of it, this is the ESC. The big wires go to the motors. Underneath (from this angle, but on top from the top of the board) are the wires that come from the battery pack that sits on the other end of the board. In the video they pointed out those AA looking batteries, but I have no idea if thatâs what they are, and much less what theyâre supposed to do. Anyone else?
power the transmitter?
That is what I think aswell. A ubec takes up a bit of space.
Thanks for the responses and would any one know if you watched the video what is that other circuit board thats stuck to the batteries and what dose it do for the board?
The circuit board âstuckâ to the batteries I would imagine is the BMS (battery management system), in charge of charging and discharging the batteries. Those âAAâ batteries are not batteries at all, theyâre capacitors.
Yeah, without having a look at the schematic I am 99% that itâs just the BMS
