Well,heading headfirst into a hobby is what i typically do. Which i also did here.
I bought a bioboarda radium secondhand a couple weeks ago but ofcourse my fingers started twitching intensly after a couple days of riding.
So,here is in short what im going to
Buy an aluminium board (done)
3d-print a mold for the carbon-fibre enclosure (done)
Make a carbon-fibre enclosure (done)
Fill all the holes in the aluminium board(done)
Take all the electronics from the old board(done)
Install all the electronics in the board(done)
The layout of the insides. Running one 12s4p battery and one 13s2p battery(ripped from a boosted xr battery) connected in parallel. Yes its fine. The 13s just goes to a maximum of 4.1v per cell as specified by boosted. Also, the enclosure became VERY big. I just wanted to fill out the board. Should fit a 12s8p or simmilar without much issues. Especially if i use a charge only bms
Applying glass grit. Got it from smashing some blue-colored mcdonalds glasses. My ”solution” for the holes in the board was to fill the bastards with epoxy.
I would thoroughly test for signal issues before riding fast. The CF enclosure can cause issues for signal transmission and aluminum above doesn’t help.
Cool deck and not an easy one to build on, nice work.
But why you didn’t implement a 100% conformal enclosure? You didn’t have to produce a mess with the Epoxy covering all the holes! Just getting a couple sheets of Kydex and with a heat gun applying heat to the Kydex will bend and conform the sheets underneath the holes and making a lid for the enclosure.
Yup that method was my first idea,however it is next to impossible to bend such tight curves so the fitment would have been bad around the centerpiece/spine and i wasnt happy with how the holes looked since they are chamfered
very nice, that deck is a challenge for sure but could look very cool with a clear top lid on the enclosure. its possible to bend your clear plastic, but it won’t be easy to do well
perhaps fiberglass like surfboard glass to protect the guts but still be trasnparent (ish?)
You can actually see down into the enclosure trough the middle holes. I did it mainly so i can check for moisture but hey its also a cool effect. i will addd some led-strips and im in business
No Bro. Those are just some old 170mm Century trucks I used to stand the board on something for the pics.
I will install longer hangers for the real drift. Was thinking on @Boardnamics hangers but his are 220mm not long enough for my taste. I’ll probably go with some alum 12 Fifties by @Trampa or some Fat Boys by @Kug3lis. Decision pending. Alum pulleys will be most likely @Janux-esk8 especially made for those Electric Flywheels you se there. Money, money, money! Civilizations corner Stone.
