Hello guys, this is going to be my second build, I can’t stop enjoying this addictive hobby, the joy of the build process and the expectations to see the finished e-board are pumping my ethusiasm.
Sometime ago I saw a thead from @Spec fell in love with the Never Summer Reaper deck, the shape was sweet, so that build was an inspiration.
That flexible battery blew my mind. I’ve been trying to figure out how to wire a 10s4p in such a way that I can break them apart if I want to travel by plane so I can bring my electric board with me. I’m going to try that build in my next board.
W concave board eh? That’s been an intriguing form factor, seems like its more ergonomic for standing on the board for long periods, and better leverage for turning…
they seem rare though
If I solder an additional strip I might heat up the cells more, I wonder what would be an alternative. I may give the strips a try.
@osbor the NS Reaper is know to be a really good deck for speed, the W shape would give me plenty of confidence for hard turns, it does not flex much.
OTOH, even thought the deck is 37.5" long, it feels a lot smaller than the Loaded Vanguard, rear foot rest is a nice touch, shape and finish is awesome. So this could become my perfect travel board =)
First obvious thing I see is that your missing a balance wire on cell 7 assuming cell 1 is in the bottom left. You only have 9 wires for your 10 wire connector. Also, if your using a Vedder anti-spark switch with the standard 40A fuse, you really shouldn’t need the other two if it’s all setup properly.
