So all the parts finally came togeather and my board works (sort of )
Here is the full list of parts:
- globe deck from ericks bikeshop
- trucks, wheels, wheel pulley (44t), belt all from an old original zboard i got off craigslist
- FVT 120a, and 5s 20Ah lipo from @barajabali
- XT90-s connector for battery
- 17t drive pulley from spd/si
- alien drive motor mount from @Michaelinvegas
- FS-GT2B controller off amazon
- misc hardware from home depot
- custom rewound NTM prop drive, not sure what the Kv is, just did as many winds of 18 AWG wire that i could, which ended up being 8 turns (was going for as much power/torque as i could get out of it)
Ran well, i can tell it wants to really run but i didn’t want to push it on my first time out, climbed the very slight incline near my apartment with zero issues. BUT, i did run into an issue where after a minute or two the power would drop. almost as if the speed was being limited. I would pull the trigger and the motor would spin up fast and then drop to a slower speed and stay there. It was also getting pretty hot, the point where i couldn’t keep my hand on it for more than a couple seconds (probably because its low volts, high amps :/
). I would let it sit for a minute and it would be back to normal, any ideas on what’s going on???
And now for what you all want, pictures: note: i was really excited to get out so most of this is temporary (although i do like how the esc and battery meter are held on, so i might only replace the cardboard covering the battery with something sturdier)
