This is my take on - insanely quick and dirty. I have no plans and work on the spot.
I ordered a cheap eBay remote, if things turn around the way it looks, I will be buying the Arduino based spot welder, and see, maybe this quick and dirty, resurrected koowheel project will get a new deck and battery upgrade! I think I would leave the original case and put a fresh set of 20 30q.
Oh, the trampa order is almost here, pulleys are on the way, and I am in for the surfrodz push on mount order, so things can get very pretty for my Slayer, also these are also the parts for my next project, a more exotic and premium build
So I did pulled the trigger and bought my most wanted part for my ride.
@Wajdi what’s the processing time on them right now?
This and I’m arranging a surfrodz order from @psychotiller
And now I will wait for the upcoming surfrodz gear drive!
Funny thing, I have not ridden this board for around 3 months I think, and before that, I have only ridden this deck with single TB 73 and 97mm eskating wheels and an old Vesc, this is my second 6.6. For absolutely unknown reasons, slave side burnd while on stand by, just sitting on the table. I only got it because they offered like 60% off, of a new one, but when charged like 40 for shipping and I also got customs taxes. All in all it performed well while it did worked. I would just buy the unity
The weather here is like this.
And board looks like this
I still have to get the pulleys and longer belts, but I think that in 5-6 days time, I will be able to take it out for a test run, I’m really interested in how the gummies will perform.
Whether sucks too in Belgium but you can stsrt to see some few moments of dried roads. Also in my case the slave side burned, but was during riding. Not sure what to do. I order a unity for my next build like 10 days ago but seems thst it’s not possible to add another one to the order and I have to purchase a separate one. Meaning 2 times shipping cost, customs ecc… That’s ridiculous.
I did not expect to do an update today, but while playing with different riser pads in the rear, the idea kinda showed itself, so here it is.
But the wires are a bit short, so a whole lot of redoing I am about to do.
Edit, the wire length is just perfect.
Nice build! and thank you for your purchase, I re-opened ordering page because many have been requesting it, I have a couple PCBs scheduled for delivered sometime this week, then I will finish assembling and ship them out. It should take about 1.5 to 2 weeks.
So the happy 100% completion post.
I have a few voltage converters installed.
They all connect nicely to the board, that has wires integrated from now on.
The rear light has a fixed output, front light and truck led have each a separated adjustable voltage converters, so I could easily swap them around and always have a desired voltage.
And now I have this.
I call it complete, as I have nothing more diy wise to do.
But it’s not rideable, atleast not with gummies, who are missing pulleys. They are on the way. Also photon remote and surfrodz will be added to this setup in the very near future.
I went to the post office 3 times today, already got the pulleys, and the belts are just perfect. I wonder what’s the actual top speed on this thing is, even in eco mode it pulls a lot. Sad to say, gummies are not coping well with slightly moist roads and cold temperatures. Not the config builder for speed runs now. But OMG they really do roll over everything, the difference from 97mm wheels is just huge.
Riding update, the board is treating my nicely, kept swaping bushings until today, maxed her out at 44km/h safely. Gummies are insane, atleast for me, eating everything up, my terrain possibilities really widened.
the battery sag is pretty big, i can feel it after 20km. Expected a bit more from this battery. What else, the front light gave up again, photon got sent, still waiting for trucks from @psychotiller
I really do like the board, besides the range factor, it seems to be build up well, absolutly no rattle or any sound, bearings roll great. Just one more upgrade before the building of this board will stop for some time, and a few new projects will arise, canibalasing the current board.
Got the photon remote hooked up yesterday, it did had a few connectivity issues while riding, BUT at one point the board kept acelarating and did not slow down then pulling back the trigger, so I had to bail. This is the aftermath.
So far not really liking the Photon.
Shit man that’s a lot of damage, I’m sorry to see this. As for trouble shooting, did you set up fail safes for when the remote loses connection. What should happen is it goes to neutral and coasts when connection is lost

So new wheels with bearing adapters are on, pulleys seem to be here next week. I am still not sure if I should leave my 15t pulley on, or go with 18.
