I want something with true skate-park capabilities… that is leaving the ground, wall rides and maybe even right rail slides if I get the enclosure right
Deck Metallica Dogtown 80s Style
I love this modern 80s concave
Battery
13s1p of Samsung 30T cells (21700/3000mAh/35A) possibly overkill but it is a Metallica deck after all lol
Waterproof Balance BMS
Enclosure
I want something that I can forget is there and can take skate-park grade abuse , can’t think of anything better than a skateboard I always wanted to try this but couldn’t find a cheap enough deck but recently found this Blank 80s similar style deck…
using stand-offs like these to attach and stop impact against battery
will be cutting into the ‘enclosure deck’ to really securely mount and impact protect battery and components from getting crushed (sounds silly when i type it but thats that plan )
Wheels
76mm ABEC Fflywheels with some APS 32t pulleys
Drive Train
Undecided but small 55xx Motors either disposal cheap or battle hardened Holy St ones. Trucks and mounts… has to be TKP and clearance on mounts is key… other than thinking about welding some I have no idea what I will end up doing
Wil trucks mount to top or bottom deck?
Loving this btw. I have similar ideas for a park board.
Might wanna make a skid plate for the motors.
Excited to see this completed.
This was the revelwaukee my first real build. She was 4x4. Hub motor in fron and 160 kv belt drive in the rear. I used some old rails i found around my house to attach everything together and left just the right amount of space as to not crush anything. There was no flex but befor i burnt the rear motors she was pushing 35-40 mph and could climb a nice grade no problems.
yes, these parts are getting trimmed off (I might save the tail for a tail saver to mitigate the 76mm size)
I plan on using nutserts and skate hardware at the circled points, nutserts would be overkill if the bottom part was not going to take a load - I only have some cheap alu standoff to try this with but plan on getting ones I trust
Yeh I also got the kicktail fever. Planning something similar. Not sure between 40T and 30T. I would like 12s2p but then the save in weight is basically 300g from a 12s3p 30Q cells
True. Not really planning skatepark but it has to do 10-11 km range of fun. Have torque. Speed 40kmh is fine. So I can destroy it in the city . Mainly manual and jump from curbs. The destroy part is me tasting the ground and smashing the board.
I was also thinking to reuse the Meepo hubs I still have. With belt or similar I am afraid I will touch them doing stupid things. Main problem I want 85mm max on thst board so
I used Indy 215’s on my cabellero deck. Had to modify to fit motor mounts, but they are excellent trucks. Highly recommended my friend! Will be watching this build. Also love the wheels. I have a set. Decided to go to the 83’s. Easier to dial in speed/torque with the gearing, plus more plush for short commutes.
I think you just made my mind up, going to give them a go
@Skunk I put some random trucks, 5055 motors mounts together when it’s all there a few cells feels like nothing, I’m going for a 7s1p and a 13s1p - best of both worlds and will def get me thru a decent session
