Been riding the thing for a long while now, never got to updating. Huge upgrade over my old board, I take this thing out every chance I get! So far the fastest I’ve gone is 32 mph, we’ll see how much further I can push it. Some of the local roads get kind of scary.
Two questions.
1: what made u decide to get an Evo? Have u tried one before?
2: why did you go with a 10s4p battery?
Why not 12s4p or 10s5p is there any particular reason?
I went with an Evo based on recommendations and due to the fact that someone that lives in my same building also has a Landyachtz board, I took a look and really liked the quality. Because I don’t have much experience riding different decks, I mostly just tried to go with what was tried and true.
As for the battery, I really just didn’t see the need to go beyond 10s, at least when I was looking at speeds and gearing ratios. I maxed out at 20mph on my old board and this will theoretically hit 30mph, I don’t want to go faster than that at this point. If that’s not a good idea, please let me know!
The mounts with idlers might be too long to fit under your deck + I get belt skipping with them. Maybe I suck at setting them up / picking a belt length, but yeah…
Excellent part selection for a first build. Can’t see much going wrong
Skips when breaking, because the idler only helps in one direction. The other direction is looser than it usually would be, compared to a mount with no idlers.
Well, it’s facing up on my brother’s board. On my friend’s board they’re facing down, which adds a lot of resistance to free-roll. Haven’t actually ridden that one to test if they skip on acceleration then…
I could but I also don’t really see myself ever going further than 10 miles without being able to charge. I’m primarily going to be using this for campus and the occasional joyride. I suppose I could if I wanted to and I was going to originally, but I just don’t see where it’d be practical for me. Plus reduced cost and weight is a plus, I used it to justify buying FatBoys haha
