The NAVY CAMO Build I am pleased to say, I’m finally done with what I am calling : “The Navy Camo Build.” I chose this name for lack of imagination, and because I used official U.S. Navy Camouflage cloth for skinning the deck. As I have more free time, more pics and information will be added to this thread.
This was my third build.
PARTS
⦁ Deck: Fluxmotion
Back in May, I was able to pick up a couple of these. They had some very minor cosmetic defects, and were very reasonably priced. Thank you to Frederic @Eboardsolutions
⦁ Trucks: MBS Matrix II Oilslicks
⦁ Wheels: MBS Rockstar Pro
⦁ Tires: Kenda 200x50
I took out the orange shock blocks. Added yellow in the front, and red in the rear. This combo turned out to be perfectly stable and super carvey. Thank you Joel @MBS
⦁ Motors: Torqueboard 190kv 6380
⦁ Motor Pulleys: Torqueboard 18T
Thank you @torqueboards.
⦁ Motor mounts: ATC Dual Motor Mounts, with dual idlers.
⦁ Wheel Pulleys: ATC 72T (T6061 Aluminum)
Thank You @ATC.
⦁ ESC: Unity
⦁ Remote: Hoyt Puck (Hoyt Street)
⦁ Remote Shell & Thumb Nub: Puck, Puck, Bruce (Derelict Robot)
Thank you @DerelictRobot
⦁ BLE Module: Metr Pro Unity
⦁ Battery: 12s 6p Samsung INR18650 30q 3000mAh
Thanks @BluPenguin (wherever you are.)
⦁ BMS: LLT 12s Smart BMS
⦁ Telemetry: Davega X I couldn’t wait, so I went and saw a guy who has things. Thank you @Jamie42.
⦁ Fuse Management: Lacroix Unity Adapter
I had a hell of a time finding this. It is incredibly useful, and I wish Lacroix would sell them. I’m sure many of us would buy them. I feel like the demand is there @Arch
⦁ Charging: 8A Power Charger
Thanks @Accrobrandon
⦁ Enclosure: DIY
This was a labor intensive undertaking. I made a mold from foam, tape, and press & seal. I wanted to it to be low profile, as the battery was spread out. In hindsight, I would have made it roughly 3/8" deeper, so fitting everything was a challenge. Materials used: 4 oz. fiberglass cloth, carbon fiber cloth System Three Silvertip Epoxy with Slow Hardener.
⦁ Charging Port/Power Button Placement
The reason for this, is so I have the option of adding a small, portable external battery pack, for those extra long rides.
⦁ Top Skin: DIY
Same type of epoxy used. Additional materials: Navy camouflage cloth, carbon fiber, medium glass frit (black.) Thank you @Sender, for your wisdom, & answering my questions.
⦁ *Everything Else will soon be added
