2 things. DIY doesn’t have Paris truck options for the mount you linked. And, you might want to get a wider belt if you’re running single motor. 9mm may snap when hard accelerating or braking.
already have the paris truck mount, so…

The cord is the one that plugs into the black and red holes on the right of the charger
do you have xt60 on your battery?
should work
you should probably get a soldering iron along with some XT60s and switch them up.

Looks very nice! I have a few questions on the topic of enclosures:
what abs sheet do you use? (thickness)
how long do you keep it in the oven and at what temperature?
Thanks!
I haven’t made the enclosure yet but will be tomorrow.
1/8" ABS plastic.
350f at 5ish minutes.
The button LED already broke… Wow.
The XT90-S in the video does not have any function? The wiring seems interessting
It will be the on/off switch.
