finished product but i just need to do the grippy properly. Ideas?
I bought an all terrain e sk8 thinking it would be what i wanted and guess what it wasn’t.
The deck was cool though so I thought i’d modify it a bit and then things just got out of hand.
Starting point with all the old nonsense out and ready for the new.
Purchased some 218 trucks from torque boards as they are kind of the only place you can get 218 trucks as far as i know.( feel free to enlighten me people). Then got some 6374 motors from hk of all places but hey they are good so far, SK8, 194 kv and run cool as.
I first cut out the deck so it was drop through for that low and less distance to fall type feeling and then got carried away.
So $1605 bucks aus. wow pricey but not really when you compare the specs
18k range tested
55kmh on 10s tested with my 110 kg fat arse on it
torque enough to pull me up anything round here and i live in Australia’s version of san fran
Hey guys everyone out there that is looking at this thankyou because i’m really grateful to all the people on this forum that helped whether they knew it or not and noobies if you want me to answer any questions then just ask. Don’t take any notice of the “you’ve already answered this person three times”
rubbish… just comment because your questions just might help someone else out there and pm just helps you no one else.
The base plates are not standard, they are 80 mm square and pull evenly across the diagonal should be ok but doesnt hurt to reinforce. The carbon is 5mm then 8mm foam then 5mm carbon it is very high in tensile strength. Not the lightest carbon deck but probably the strongest.
True carbon is extremely strong but prone to stress cracking around mounting points. Given the drop deck mounting that would exert a lot of force around the area around the bolt nuts.
Even penny washers there would save a lot of crying down the road
Nice!!! I built my first DIY because I started modding that same china board lol Was going to shave down the inner tab to fit a longer pack as well but ended up using the battery for a completely different build. I had raised the escs to give me the full compartment to fit a 10S5P, but made it modular so I could re-fit with focboxes when they came in. Those got taken over by the DIY build too though
When you cut out the dropthrough did you have to change the truck hole pattern? I forget exactly but I thought this deck had a square hole pattern vs normal trucks. You did a really good job building this looks great man
Griptape a bit more substantial now.
I’ve just been riding it for a solid hour with no discernible voltage sag and the motors were just warm even with all the hill climbing around here but i did notice that the brakes can be a bit twitchy. They bite quickly and then fade off. Is there something i can do in the programming? I would prefer them to be the other way round as I’m sure I’ll get caught out sooner or later
