So i was in the middle of deciding about enclosures when i came across a Lego VESC enclosure, credits to the original builder who came up with this idea. The Lego probably won’t be permanent but will work for what i need for now.
no, haven’t used glue but would be a good idea if intended to be permanent. the only glue used is to attach the lego’s to the board. il have to make sure to check/fix/tighten the lego’s before riding again.
honestly, if you can’t afford a VESC and just want a simpler option, a car esc is probably better, the boat esc will work, but might have a reduced lifespan due to the cooling situation. I’ve got a 120a esc and only pull about 60 amps (at the moment plan on upgrading). due to this is doesn’t get very hot. i can’t say for sure since i haven’t ridden enough, but i went for the boat esc and planning to upgrade to a VESC and/or hv car esc. you probably made the right choice with the car esc
I just thought id post an update, i used this enclosure for abit, it works well if you remeber to hot glue every piece together, me being lazy i only did half of it, after riding over some rough roads half of it came of XD. If you construct it properly it is defiantly viable
