Lol it’ll take 2 weeks of normal use to drain the battery, I’m getting 6.4Wh/mi so far but less than 2 miles per day

i mean like ride around the park for an hour or so for a full 100-0 test.
Doing partial tests are skewed, because cells get time to cool off and recover from sag

I mean it’s a penny board, it’s not meant to go far, I think my feet would fall off before the battery dies. Also it’ll take 2 hours to drain the batteries at top speed, beyond 13 mph it’s super hard to stay balanced

Whatcha mean? My right toe and left heel are above the wheels
If you mean how do I not touch them, I’ve got size 8.5 shoes, the deck isn’t that small relative to my feet
Just noticed some weird shit with efficiency, going to class is 9.6Wh/mi but going back is 4.8Wh/mi on the exact same road and it’s basically flat the whole way
Wind?

- awesome board, man! Gotta get a proper enclosure tho, lol. I wrecked mt first board because of a tape enclosure, heh.
2)as Jack said above… wind might be the culprit. Also, I’m always more excited going home than going to work, so I use more juice on my way back from riding with more “zest”
Nice work!
I will eventually have a printed enclosure but I need to generate the CAD for it first, it’s gotta act as both a compression pack for a 10s1p 21700 pack and a shell for the ESC, receiver, Bluetooth module, BMS, fuses, and ports…lotta work to do on it still
I’m not aware of much wind but riding style might have something to do with it, slowly getting more comfortable with it

Maybe you floored it from a standstill on your way back from class?
I’m definitely guilty of that
Lol the only time I floored it I ended up with blood on both arms and a sore ass, it’s got 30 motor amps and it’s got twice the torque gearing as a normal board, plus is literally 22". But I’ve been pushing the throttle a bit more with practice, it takes a long time to get used to though

I had to do some fuckery with a lathe so it would sit right, the belt basically touches the wheel but it’s not causing issues

I need some help guys, my board is freaking out. The remote drops connection all the time (if I break, accelerate, or just move around too much) and the ESC keeps throwing DRV errors whenever I try and break…what do I do?
It’s basically unrideable since I have no control over it and can’t trust it to go anywhere at any speed

Have you checked all internal connections?
Yeah, all of it is secure. Made sure all the solder joints are good and it’s been shrink wrapped to hold everything in place

Do you have another remote you can try? That way you can rule out if it’s the esc or remote.
I can dig out some more nanos tomorrow

It’s been a while since I touched this board, it’s getting some more progress done rn. All parts are in now so I just gotta put the little bits together now, the deck is Swiss cheese at the moment so I’ve gotta patch and refinish it, it’s so much nicer now that it’s gross and covered in foam and tape
Suggestions for waterproofing? I’m thinking I’ll put a plate in the enclosure so it’s not sealed against the deck, using MT60/GX12 for the ports, and I’ll epoxy the loop key and charge port too so it doesn’t leak

Just pay attention that the MT60 (and most connectors) have a small hole inside each of the female sockets to let air out when you plug it, you need to seal that or water will make its way inside, but you can’t just pour resin or it will get on the contact surface
