I started this build over a year ago in Feb 2020 when I bought a set of 6 shooters off @370HSSV . Didn’t know what to do with them at the time but I wanted them for something cool one day. Then I had to find out what to put them on. I wanted something slightly different from the masses so I began my planning…
After some thinking I got the hankering for a Lacroix style deck so when the Flux combos dropped I saw what I wanted at a really reasonable price and grabbed it a few months later from a member here.
I didn’t want Matrix II’s on here and since I had a set of 'Tiller mounts for SR tkp I thought it would be fun to use them with adjustable baseplates. Got another set off a friend so 4wd was in the works. Got another two wheel pulleys from VEX.
Battery had to be big enough to support 4wd and miles of range. Made a Molicel P42a 12s8p.
For the ESC’s I went with the TB esc as it was on sale at the time and buying 4 saved a good amount.
Took it for a short slow ride (need to tighten bushings) and now it’s on the charger. Good news it hasn’t blown up yet so I think we’re good. Who knows how long it will take to charge this thing at 6 amps!
A lot of interesting things going on here . Good to see more 6355 size motors in 4wd on a narrower setup, makes more sense to me. This has got to be a unique riding experience. Wiring must be a nightmare
35° deck angles minus a 7° riser. I don’t know what angle the trucks are at, kinda just eyeballed as close as I could. Might fiddle with the angles on them. Haven’t had much of a go, but really Turney!
@Static wiring is a nightmare! If you’ve ever had to close the back side panel of a computer, that’s what this is like to screw the enclosure on!
Nice build. I think this is the first time I’ve seen TKP trucks on a Flux. Are you going to be riding it this weekend? If so, looking forward to seeing it in person.
Yep! If the battery charges enough that is. Kinda stopped charging at 3.8 cell voltage… Was 3.5 before charging. Might have to crack it open to see what’s up but I have it on the charger idling in case the BMS is just balancing and cut charging for some reason.
I’ll be bringing my MTB too but that has bigger problems. Namely power cut outs with no shown faults.
Maybe someone will have an idea while I’m up there.
I start driving up at 3am tomorrow! 8-9 hour drive.
That’s odd. Are you able to configure the BMS settings?
And dang, that’s quite the long haul tomorrow. Hope you have a safe drive! I won’t be able to join up with you guys until Saturday morning. See you then.
Didn’t know you were going! I really want to see this build IRL, I need to see it turn without wheel-bite to believe it
