Conformal coated and covered the solder points, and also soldering 5.5mm bullets
Battery is done! A local battery builder who makes them for scooters and bikes got a 12s5p 30Q with a 120A BMS. That’s huge haha
Organized the cables. And the battery connector is strategically placed on the right as the Focbox Unity’s connector will meet nicely when bent up.
Duct taped the enclosure to the board, slapped two griptapes hanging around and went downstairs for a test ride.
Settings are 70/40/40/10. Should i increase my battery current? I think i can inch it up a bit more.
Wow pneumatics are a really different feeling. Unlike decks which dip down like the Lacroix and Trampa decks, this one feels very much like… an Evolve? Due to the deck being higher up, which i prefer actually. Turning is not as well as my urethane boards with Calibers, but because i’m using the angled riser, i can technically add wedges to the front and back right? @Kug3lis have you tried wedging on your Landyachtz previously? I think if i wedge the front, and dewedge the rear, it might make turning better.
Went for a test ride with a few friends. Went for about a 25km ride. Used about 40% of the battery, sweet.
Here comes the Kush.
Ok, due to the deck’s curvature being different than a Jet Spud, there is some gap in the front and back of the enclosure. I tried heat forming but it didn’t help much.
Fiberglass time! I’ll add extra material where the gaps are and will make them as thick as the enclosure itself, then trim accordingly.
Size comparison with a Lacroix.
So yea, i’ll finish up the enclosure, get it nice and flushed with the deck, paint it and bolt it on, settle the electronics and call it done! Should be within next week.
