Lower board height, allows for a much larger motor that wouldn’t fit under some decks, some people like the looks, the motor is able to be mounted at a higher angle which protects it more against things hitting it when going over bumps.
Thats a couple that i could list. But i myself, don’t really like the rear mounting. But this build is probably one of the better done ones.
lol nope…and one other annoying thing … You can only stand the board with the motor on top…unless you wanna scrap the can…and of course any small curbs are out as well
Can you enlighten us on how you went about putting together your 18650 cell battery? I’m really looking forward to create mine the way you did yours. Thanks in advanced.
hey randyc1, love your build, you should have included all these DIY goodies in your first post! imo these details are whats it all about!
concerning your battery: you seem to be using 2 different types of cells? your parallel green pack will most likely drift relative to the blue, so I guess (hope) you are using a BMS?
even though I didnt have any problems (yet), I will probably use these insulation rings to protect the “+”-side of the cells a little more in future. ordered a whole bunch of them -> http://www.ebay.de/itm/331832123025
also, I will in future fixate cells of a parallel pack with some hot glue, so they wont start to wear out their insulation hull by working on each other (also didnt happen yet, but might).
ive seen a 2 times now (by being stupid mostly), what these crazy currents can do if you short one of these batteries. each time I had a 4mm bullet connector in my hand and each time it was basically GONE, and I mean GONE and not just black and bent.
