Hi @Maralc, so far the build is 1,090 usd. I am based in Brazil (São Paulo) 
Ok - i am one more luck guy that received DRV error. I was playing with firmware 2.54 changing controle mode to current and etc, and with no reason TB VESC stoped, i went to the terminal type “fault”, none showed. After i type “faults”, a bunch of DRV appeared. Is VESC really dead?
Fault : FAULT_CODE_DRV8302 Current : 1.9 Current filtered : -0.4 Voltage : 40.97 Duty : 0.03 RPM : 1.1 Tacho : 122 Cycles running : 4 TIM duty : 1160 TIM val samp : 609 TIM current samp : 21453 TIM top : 41687 Comm step : 5 Temperature : 33.24
Ok - after after couple of months, lot’s of reading and waiting for the new parts do arrive…and after the “DRV” of death, the build changed a litle bit…to be honest, changes were huge:
- Bought new motors - Dual OM5065 from @chaka
- Decided to go AT - bought @psychotiller sixshooters
- Dual Focbox - @longhairedboy
- Enclosure…have to say that the 3d printed enclosure was not good enought (very weak) - so i bought psychos 405.
- New Mounts from @marcmt88
- TB218 Trucks @torqueboards
- Controller Enertion NanoX
- Gear ratio 14/60
Going back on the build log:
-
Changed battery heat shrink wrap to add more flex (i was worried about deck flex) and organized the bms-lead cables:
-
Put the 6’’ AT and wheel bite came to hunt me…yeah…had to extend wheel base as much as i could:
-
My cat was not happy with the mess on her area…LOL
-
Deck wrapping on Carbon vinyl using wrap-cut…pretty easy…
-
All parts ready to come together
-
Installing LCD / eswitch and charging port
-
Putting everything together with good rubber seal around the enclosure:
-
That’s all folks:
My last throughs:
- After i extended the wheel base, deck became more flexy, pressing hard batteries in the enclosure.
- It’s a bit high from the ground for me…i think a drop through would be a better choice …right now i am working to get this build on a new deck…a Landyachtz DropSpeed…let’s see how it goes…
These things never ends…lol…the only constant is change…

Rad build! It’s like a home made LaCroix. What was the total cost? Certainly less than the $2.3k LaCroix is asking…
