the cutaway decks are nice because no wheel bite. but less area to mount your internals.
i’d go landyachts if you wanna go with larger wheels down the road.
Wait sorry noob question. If i get a torque VESC and use it with a 10s4p 18650 battery bank with the LG HG@ it would give me 36V and 80A. will the 80A fry my VESC if it’s only rated to 60A?
u can set parameters in the vesc. 80a continuous draw for an extended period may fry your vesc, but rarely do u do that. I doubt ur motor will pull that much current.

I like the battery enclosure! Where did you get it from?
I think he made it himself!!
I made it myself. I have the mould so can make one any colour. I’m making a new mould with branding a little bit like this.

You should take a look at redemberboards
@treenutter has been producing some nice work! Plus you would be supporting a small business with a owner with a passion for the sport!

What’s wrong with a torque VSEC? are Ollinboards or FOCBOX’s really that much better?
Well we’ve got about 32+ in our group. The torque vesc took out half the crew within 2 months, all different builds, all different motors and configurations.
How so? What kind of failures did they have?
Did you experience spontaneous cutouts under high load at all?
@Deckoz could you eleborate more, this is the first I’ve heard about this. If the Torque is so bad then what should I look into?
-cutouts under load -DRV faults at various speeds, some just from the board being turned off then back on -few D5 failure -couple L1 failures -FETs going bad or shorted from reflowing under load due to the terrible thermal characteristics
lots of the DRV failures were just without cause, after a few hundred miles. No signs on the boards
-FETs going bad or shorted from reflowing under load due to the terrible thermal characteristics.
Calling BS on that one. Solder does not flow at 80 degrees Celsius or anywhere near that temp.
I don’t know why you feel like you need to disparage Dexter, without him the scene would be in a sad state. In early 2015 he was the only outfit selling anything eskate related for the builder here in the US. Might not be the top quality but he is bringing a lot of gear to the masses at a low price. From what I have seen he usually takes care of his customers when things fail. I would bet he has replaced a few that were the fault of the customer too. How has he handled these failures you have witnessed?

He didn’t handle them.
I could care less about your defense for another seller, or your BS claim, the boards were inspected after failure, some had burns, and reflowed at the FETs by those burns so its best guess. Fact is it took out every board running the vesc 4.12 in our group in under two months. We all were running the torque vesc. We’ve all moved to different hardware.
We could care less about excuses. We want to ride without money down the drain and shit failing. Dexter has some great stuff in his site…lots of good stuff(in fact i recommend alot of new local group members to there) But no one here will run the torque vesc or antispark again. Simple facts no one should have a local group with $2600 in paperweights in under two months.
Whoops, sorry… I moved them back to original spot, there are a lot of flagged posts today trying to clean up. Carry on…
Are you able to make one to custom spec?
