I am building my second eboard and the most important thing I have learnt from the first build is to learn from others. My build is a long board, single motor. Basic specs: SPACE cell battery, SPACE cell battery enclosure from RunPlayBack, VESC from Enertion, Turnigy SK3 Aerodrive 149kV motor, enertion wireless controller. Documenting my progress at www.wiehan.co.za/projects/eboard.htm Questions that I would love answered before I continue with my build follows:
-
For a single motor build, and a rider with a Regular Stance (left foot facing forward) - which quadrant of the deck/trucks is it best to place the motor? I was thinking bottom (rear)/Left.
-
What is the best way of fixing the SPACE cell battery enclosure mentioned to the deck? Is it needed to have some kind of quick release mechanism to quickly remove the enclosure in case there is problems? I had this problem on my first build, but it was an entirely different build. Any examples would be much appreciated.
-
What is the best way of securing different components (such as space cell, vesc, receiver) WITHIN the enclosure so that they don’t rattle around?
-
How do I connect and set up the receiver that came with the Enertion wireless controller to the VESC? How do I power this receiver? Do I need a separate power source? Where do I find these little plugs/cables to connect it to the VESC? Does this receiver need some degree of programming? How do I “pair” it with the controller?
-
Perhaps my very biggest concern is the following: What settings should I use on the VESC for the SPACE cell battery combined with the Turnigy SK3 aerodrive 149kV motor. I weigh around 85kg, is this set up even appropriate?
Thank you in advance!
