Still no pics, but it is coming right along. Mounted my threads, and mock bolted my enclosure, and test fitted all the various seals. I will not need to make any phase wire holes. Or sensor. It looks a tad strange, as it is rigidish, as in flat, with hatch foam, varying with the bottom of the deck. But very tidy, and mostly hidden when seen. The enclosure is about an inch and a half, too long for my board. But closed cell hatch foam, from both directions, makes a great seal. I cant ride my board underwater, but pretty damn sealed. I could ride in the rain. But would only ride in sprinkle, or after rain, mostly evaporated. I got some thicker cpu heat transfer foam, and will cut JUST the mounting holes, and the bare minimum to clear the mosfets or whatever. Then I silicone the heat sink to the bottom of enclosure. So I save about a quarter inch, with great cooling. Room enough for a full BMS. It is 60A but 180 amp burst capable, so that is plenty to avoid getting booted from board. So nonbypassed bms. Got my P groups done, got the nestles all neoprened. Nothing is gonna jiggle. I found awesome hardware for the enclosure. They are called truss head bolts. 10/32 with a phillips head. So a bigger head dia. Then, 1/16 rubber washers. Going into brass threads. Enclosure has 1/4 hatch foam, closed cell, Where the enclosure exceeded the board, I placed 1" square hatch foam tape. Then trimmed it a little, so it melds well with the 1/4 foam gasket.
So, it is down to doing the series connects, with solder, and then finishing all the electronics. My BIG ASS flipsky vesc, will fit NO PROB. All the waterproof charge jack, and the miniusb extentions, the antispark switch and other holes for acess, no prob.
I am thinking of naming my board, DESPOT.
a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.
Doing a sign painting logo.
I have a bamboo deck, and am using the medium glass shavings, for minimal intrusion of the nice wood deck. It will hardly show any distortion from stock.
I have mondo clearance under the batteries etc. Even when I switch to the 6.5 urbans.
Installed my Riptide kit.
Pumped the wheels, they hold air.
17.5 ah, should get me 25 miles on charge, if not closer to thirty.
I have a 15 and a 16 pulley, so I should find the perfect ratio, or even have both.
Totally streamlined, sleek, simple. Wide trucks look tough, and will add stability. 7 inch tires should be plush.
4 amp charger, that has 80 90 100 charge switch. I I am hoping to get a fast charge.
Got some idler pulleys, if I choose to mount.
Getting towards the end of build, so I am trying not to rush.
So far, all supplies work, and it is all coming out much cleaner than what i could buy.
