I just wrapped up my second build a (hopefully) air-travel safe board based of the trampa carver. This originally started as a “I need to scratch my trampa itch while waiting for my @Kaly build board” and morphed into a board that I hope I can take with me when I fly.
Being that its a travel board I was looking for decent performance and range but nothing record breaking and settled for 4 x 5S 5000mAH Lipo which I thought are under the 100 wHR limit -_-… I will be swapping them out for smaller cells before flying
Loving the build. The thing is faster, has longer range, carves better then my BGT. Until Kaly’s board arrives its probably going to stay my primary board.
I’d like to thank the community, tons of information and lots of helpful folks here. Wouldn’t had been possible without the group. I’d like to also call a few individuals that really made this build experience great.
Big thanks to @torqueboards for backing up their warranty after the VESC failed on a different build. Although it took a while Dexter had been great on making sure things were made right. The Vesc are running on foc now with no issues
Shout out the @trampa, Frank had been quick to answer all the questions I had and boy are their stuff high quality and man do that ship fast
Also a big thank you to @psychotiller He helped me with my first built and had been really helpful and patient with all my questions. Oh he also supplied the antispark switches for this built.
Lastly @Ackmaniac whos firmware seemed to have zapped all my vesc issues. I blew through 2 vesc and 1 focboxs running sensored BLDC. Now I am running 2 dual builds on focs 12s and 10s with zero issues.
