I see. Well its just up to you how you want to wire the top mount. Either you drill through the deck or route it around the side. You’re just gonna need to be creative how you build that pack
The evo is plenty stable for sure as its a Downhill deck.
I would suggest drilling a wide enough hole through the center. You can 3d print the adapter plate and mount it to the top enclosure which could be a pelican case or something but I’m not too familiar with the concave on the Evo so I could be wrong about that.
just didn’t know as it’s much weight with all the batteries
prob going to wire it outside, will need some testing first
is it still true that long battery wires will damage the vesc? will be using 2 focbox unitys
do you think it’s a good idea to make them waterproof and mount them on top of the truck mount?
or should i use a casing? and is that ok with cooling?
as i wont have a 3d printer i wont do that but i anyway thought about a thin metal plate, i guess thats also sturdier than some printed plastic
I’d go with metal for sure over plastic in many cases such as this. Yes long battery cables can kill vescs which is why you want to use thicker wires coming from the battery. If you want to play it safe you can even go with 8awg like how @Andy87 has if you think wires are going to be lengthy
If you mean use a casing for the top mounted batteries then yes definitely.
Not sure what you mean by mounting them on the truck mount. The evo is a dropped down deck not a drop through so there’s no hole on the truck mount to route the wires from the top to the underside enclosure
