Hi everyone! Looking forward to my first ever build. Been riding since 2016 when I got my first electric skateboard, an Evolve Bamboo GTX. I then switched it up to a Backfire G3 Plus and then a Backfire Zealot. I just purchased a Kaly XL40 this year, but still can’t get enough. I want to build a street board and got a few questions regarding the build. Current parts list:
- Landyachtz Evo Spectrum 40" deck
- @Eboosted SS enclosure
- @3DServisas Fatboy mini urethane V5 straight gear drives 240mm with both Kegel and Abec adapters
- @Boardnamics adjustable base plates
- 2x Flispky 6374 motor 3500w
- Lacroix Stormcore 60D VESC
- Flispky VX2 remote
- Various fasteners from Aliexpress
- @torqueboards 110mm arctic blue wheels
- Cloudwheels 120mm orange wheels
- 12s4p Molicel P42A battery from @BOUNDMOTOR with charge port and charger
Problem is, the Boundmotor battery does not fit the enclosure, so I plan on keeping it for another build and wanted to build my own from scratch using the same kind of cells (Molicel 21700 P42As) in a 12s4p configuration. I plan on following the schematic from the @Eboosted LY Evo SS enclosure listing and using the same 12S BMS from his site.
First question is, would all the electronic components I have work with each other, or is something off?
Second question is regarding the battery build. I’ll be using the duck battery systems pure nickel 21700 4P P-group tabs. What size wire do i use to connect between the positive and negative ends and how many for each? (I see @Eboosted using 3 per group). And what size wire do I need for the positive and negative leads that will plug into the ESC? How would I wire the BMS for charge only?
Third question is regarding the switch. I know the Stormcore 60D has a switch already, but do I need to install an anti-spark switch and wire it into the BMS? I keep seeing that word pop up while researching battery builds.
I’ll ask more questions as I get further into the build as I have not started yet. Still waiting for cells and need to purchase a spot welder capable of the 0.2mm thick nickel tabs (either Kweld or Maletronics). Thank you so much!
