A good day everyone.
I’m new here and just finish the pretty fun starting tutorial, and I hope I put it in the right category.
Like a lot of people here I’m also planning to build my first E-board. So is spend the last few weeks reading a lot of information, manly on this forum, compering parts and making a part list so I can order everything.
I was planning of using a 10S2P 10.000Mah LIPO battery.
And this is where my questions begins:
I can choose to buy 4X 5S1P 5000MAH
or 20X 1s1p 5000Mah battery and make the battery pack my self.
I have quite a lot of soldering experience so that would not be a problem. The big packs just saves me a lot of time soldering. Also I am finding out a way to mount the battery’s under the board. I was first planning to make it a little bit like this:
But my board has a lot more flex than I hoped. And I don’t want to stress my battery’s. So I draw a few different configurations.
^^Battery’s all after each other. Wil be covert with a rubber sheet.^^
So I wondered what the people with a lot more experience and knowledge about this subject are thinking about my ideas.
And if you see something in my list that doesn’t fit or will work well I would like to hear that to.
Where and how to mount the batteries depends on the deck you are going to use. For a Loaded Vanguard (Boosted) deck option 1 and 2 are the way to go. If the deck is stiff then option 3.
If you going to assemble a Lipo pack out of single cells, make sure that you have the right tools available. As far I remember (this could be wrong) it is tricky to solder them together.
The board that is was planning to use had a lot more flex than I hoped. That’s why I had to re think the battery placement.
I think I’m going to buy the big pre-build 5S packs. If I want I can always dissect the packs.
What do you guys think about the rest of the list?
Like @faithfulpuppy said that drive kit is only 3m and trust me it will be annoying I bought a very similar kit and it is really annoying because that belt slips a lot. Also you will have to redrill holes so that it will mount to the wheels. Lastly I also suggest larger wheels unless it is nice and smooth where you live. I have 83mm wheels and the roads make my feet numb. Go for 90mm or even 97mm
I live in the Netherlands and the roads here are normally pretty smooth. And because I already ordered this wheels I’m just gone try it anyway. The same case with the pully kit. If it does not work I can always buy a other one.
No worries, when you get that mount swap out the grub screws for bolts and drill holes into the trucks for the bolts to slot into, that’s what I did and locktited it in place and it is super solid
those mounts work really well if you drill holes into your truck for them to lock into. Just make sure you’re using a 50mm motor because that mount doesn’t accommodate 63mm motors
