I would like compare the weight of a Kaly style deck with the @MarkOneBoards bstock I added pedals and skinned in CF just for the sake of knowledge.

From the videos I seen, I need to add 2 coats of clear coats on each sides and it is already around 2.2kg as it is now.

@DerelictRobot maybe knows? I think he sleeps with a Kaly deck in his bed.

It says rated load is 30v, is that safe to use for charging a 12s4p?

Yes, up to 5A max

Always put a fuse on one of the sides

That’s good to hear. I would want this forum to be built well.

Hi all, noob question ahead : I have an old 70mm hub motor with worn out tyres, I’m not sure but I think the closest comparison to the model / make is an mboard 70mm hub motor - is there any way to replace the tyres without spending a bomb on replacing the whole motor? Or perhaps even an UPGRADE to 90mm tyres (This would be awesome)?? I wanna give a breath of fresh life to the board and probably make a decent trolley for the kid or cat. I know I’m probably being cheap at this juncture, but cheap and good solutions helps the rest of the community I believe! Thanks for any good advice out there. :grinning::grinning::grinning:

Do builds typically have a fuse in the main circuit or just on the charge port. I put a 50 amp fuse on mine, but I am doing some mods and wondering if I can take it out.

I would not fuse the main ESC circuit, but some might prefer to.

TL;DR: I’d rather hurt the battery or ESC than have a fuse pop and lose brakes while at speed in traffic

Definitely fuse your charge circuit though.
