Motor Mount: Caliber motor mounts and motor pulleys from @dickyho (PURCHASED)
Wheels: ABEC 11 flywheels 97mm and a pulley set up for them from @dickyho (PURCHASED)
Wheels2: I was hoping I could get the Torqueboard pneumatics by now, but I may have to go with modding for an Evolve All terrain kit. or the cheap ass 6x2 set up (I have a 3D printer) Guidance on this would be much appreciated!
One thing I’ll mention, off road mountain boards like 35 degree angled noses (or an angled wedge to offset it). Longboarders generally like flat to 15 degrees. I ride a bit of an all terrain board and find that a 15° wedge suits me fine for road and some grass. If you’re taking on woods paths look for 25 to 35 degrees. Good looking deck though!
Also you could use a charge only bms like the bestech d140 and then use a regular laptop style charger. If you plan on using a balance charger there are a few threads on how to wire them up properly for discharge and charging
You should be fine with that deck. What I would suggest is getting the Evolve trucks or the Surf Rods from @psychotiller with his mounts. But since you purchased the trucks and mounts you are all ready probably going to have to sell them or keep them for the next build. I’m not sure the motor mounts would give you enough clearance. You probably should have asked about some parts before purchasing allmost all of them. If you are doing Lipo’s I would get atlease another 6 so you have a 12s4p setup as it will get you more range and less sag. The balance charger would not be upgradeable but would be the easiest way to charge the batteries you purchased without wiring up a bms.
Those are the tkp which you could go with or you could go with the rpk I would not use the drop through though for the tkp. As for affordable the evolve would be more affordable as they are basically cast gullwing siderwinders and have the 8mm axel which is what most standard bearings are the surfrodz are 10mm axels and are precision trucks so they are worlds better.
Okay, thanks for that link. Sadly, it looks like the RKP is out of stock.
Would it not be recommended to machine the torque trucks down to 10mm at the start of the axle to accommodate the evolve wheels? I have a mill and lathe and intended to replicate LHB’s process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6V4nBUFeYk&t=11s
Got it, I think I’ll go with a 12s bestech d140 since the BMS seems to be the best way to do it. With that I’ll need a laptop charger and an on off switch, right?
And I how would wiring differ with a 12s2p (with the 6x 4s batteries I have ordered) versus this 10s1p?
Yep should be for the most part just remember they used 6s batteries and not 4s. Hobby king has series and parallel connectors that you will need amazon probably has them as well or you can make them if you are comfortable with doing that.
Do you mind giving this wiring diagram a look over? I know it’s not quite right. After looking at the bestech D140 here, I’m not sure I understand where in the circuit charging is supposed to take place. In the diagram Black is negative, Red is positive, and Green are the 4 wires for balancing (spliced together) from each pair of batteries in parallel.
As I said, I’m not sure where in the circuit the charge port is supposed to go, and I completely forgot about a way to turn it off. Where should these items be placed?
