Thanks. 30cells in the front and 20cells in the back. no BMS.
Charging for the first time.

Great quality build with a great quality 3D printed pulley 
That flex is amazing though. Definitely going to try to go for something like this on my next board. Good job man!

Yeah, Your pulley design is awesome!

This is so well made and polished. Hope I can somehow become half as good at working with carbon fiber as you.
Thanks. I am sure you can. There are lots of threads that explain how to apply carbon fiber to your deck on this forum, itās quite easy.
I am planning to do laminating CF on a wood deck soon without using a vacuum pump.
Why? You are obviously ridiculously skilled and have the tools - why wouldnāt you use vacuum when laminating CF to wood if you have them? itāll be lighter/stronger/etcā¦
Laminating/skinning a perfectly fine wooden deck with CF is mainly for the look, so strength isnāt my concern, but the weight is.
I guess the extra resin and cloth weight should be very minimal Iāll find out. I might do the cutout for the deck to compensate the weight. It depends on how cold my garage is ha 
Awesome board Man !!

hey, i was just wondering what technique you used to mount your balancing port (and for other ports for that matterā¦)? looks like you got some kind of gasket for the 11pin balance port.
found this technique, would this work?
That looks like a good idea.
I used 3d printed parts which are achieved by friction between enclosure(3mm thin wall)and the plug with little epoxy glue inside.

Do you plan to charge the packs individually all the time since the packs are different voltages? Iām also doing a split enclosure and was thinking of having the balance leads to balance once in a while but charging unbalanced with a 10/12s charger.
This is actually one pack(10s5p). I used 10guage flat wires to connect the packs together so no need to charge them separately.
same here I am planning balance charging once in a while just for the maintenance purpose, most of the time I am using the laptop style charger.

Nice
I end up making a 3D print part as well
Less time
Wow, I just looked up your battery charger and didnāt realise it can balance charge 10s thatās impressive. I only have powerlab 6 so I have to split my battery in two to balance them.
Hey @MasterCho, really cool build, Iām trying to layout a 10S5P on a vanguard, could you share your battery layout? Thanks.
Hey mate, how are you managing the batterys without BMS ? Iam so confused :/ā¦ Isnāt it required to not mess up that many cells ? Or do you just need a special charger ? Is there no risk at all running no BMS ?
Looks like he is using an external balancer. Notice the big JST Connector in one of the pics.
Yes, I am using a balance charger to monitor the groups of cells 
What charger are you using ? Would an iMax B6 be sufficient to handle 10s4p/10s3p ? Are you charging/discharging them all the way everytime ?
B6 (6s max) will not charge a 10s battery. You can find 10s battery chargers online, i think there is a 1010 b or something like that. Not sure what Mastercho uses but there are a few 10s balance chargers out there.
