Bought an Arc Board (penny) more than a year ago… Got hooked so badly! However, I have a lot of off-road trails close-by. So I need something new to get wherever my penny cannot.
I present to you:
Poco-Loco
Bought:
Trampa HS11
9 Inch Wheels + Primo hubs
Maytech Dual 6374 170KV 8mm, sealed
Two left Trampa bindings?
Nano-X
Planned:
Focbox Unity
12s5p 30Q (+ everything to self-assemble, including spot-welder)
Unsure:
Idea motor mount
Trampa Pully (for Primo Hub adapter)
Middle-mounted casing
Lights
Phone charger
Long-term plans:
F5 bindings
Elastomere dampers
Etoxx silent drive
The goal is to build an affordable (LOL) trampa beast by Spring. I try to buy most of the things on deals, to shave off some precious euros off the price… I am currently out of money, but I plan to buy either the motor mount + pully or Unity next.
I have no idea what to use for the Primo hubs, open for suggestions.
There’s a 3 bolt pulley stl on the bergmeister wheel thread, maybe modify that to move the holes in or out, they will of course be set at 120deg as well
Right. So it wasn’t your intention to order identical bindings, but rather that this is what was sent with your order?
Get in touch with Ted at Trampa. He is generally the one who packs and sends the orders. He’ll fix it up for you.
Can just recommend the F5 bindings.
If you anyhow get new ones.
They maybe look not that good as the ones from trampa, but they super comfortable as for me.
Question:
I plan on flying by plane with my board (plan to move across continents in the summer).
That (and the insane torque) made me lean towards 6s Lipo’s, since I can find them under 100Wh. Apparently you can take multiple like this.
The Unity can take max 120 amps (5000 watt at 44V), so I’ll have plenty of power left with both options. 360Wh pack in total, hopefully around 20km range.
My goal is to build a decent budget Trampa. My long-term plan is to go Li-ion, for the improved range and durability. But for now, maybe I can cheap out a little bit to allow air-travel.
Here is my part list, will be updates as I buy new things.
I ended up going for cheap 6s 4500 mAh Lipo’s for flying in a plane. The goal is to be able to transport the batteries in my hand luggage, since I’ll be moving continents after the summer. The 6s4500 is exactly 99Wh, which is under the max of 100Wh.
Cheap Lipo because I’ll probably upgrade in the future!
I’ll build my board at the end of April, while waiting for things to ship.
Had to cut costum-spacers to be able to fit the Primo 9 inch spokes (thicker than 8 inch ones). First time metal cutting yay! Then I ran into problems with my slave pulley touching my motor mount, so cut 5mm of my 35mm hex spacers (connect wheels with slave pulley). Ended up ordering new 30mm ones because I’m not precise enough yet and I had problems with one of the 6 hex spacers. They should arrive soon!
Also cutting the motor mount spikes (1 attached) to the correct length.
Soldered the connections between the motors and Unity (also first yay!), now I need to create the series XT90 to XT60 connector to attach my 12s2p LIPOs too my Unity. I will be using a 12s BMS because I’m lazy and would hate hobby charging.
It’s scary, DIY’ing your own beast skateboard with no experience. But so so rewarding!
