Hope everyone’s doing fine, just got my evolve trucks, they are reaaaaaally nice, they give a little flex to the board (which was scary at first but everything looks fine).
I am still waiting on the GT2B remote and I will try in the upcoming days to put my 3Dprinter up and running to print an enclosure for it.
I am going to order the enclosure and the UNITY as soon as i have enough money !
GT2B has arrived, I will try to print the Sparkle mod but it’s really too hot where I am (about 40°C) and the printer is in my bedroom so I might delay that for later.
Unity is ordered, will try to get it AT the Paris event, I am trying to contact someone (@carl.1 maybe ?)
Battery is also ordered, will have it at the Paris event
Enclosure is also ordered from @bigben, will also get it at the Paris event
I have to go to a FabLab today to see if they can make @okp’s motor mounts
also saw that I don’t have screws for the motors … so I’ll have to buy some
Anyway, things are getting serious and I’m really happy but also stressed and I hope everything will be finished in time for the event !
have a nice day everyone !
That was hella fast but helmet has arrived, it looks good and feels good too ! I’ll do some test ride tonight when it’s colder but definitely worth it !
I also bought some screws so that’s done at least
FabLab will only be open on monday so got to wait a bit more for this
I’m not getting the Unity until august so board can’t be ready for the event AND I am looking for someone who would be ok with lending / renting a board for the time of the event (any board no problem, just not a MTB because I’ve never been on this kind of board) sooo if you are this person I’ll be really happy x)
Good news :
Battery from Eboard solutions just got shipped !
News in general :
Making the mounts in the Fablab would cost approx. 110 euros but I can’t machine both sides at the same time so i have to split the program, turn the part and “play” the other part of the program, and if the part moves, I’m screwed.
I found someone that can make it for 150 but it kind of feels expensive and I don’t have this kind of money right now.
Also news but less important :
Had a nice little test ride of the board yesterday night… feels like riding on an air cushion x) And the Evolve trucks really are awesome
