BIG BEEMS: Micro Suns Powered by Board Voltage! (SRO)

How’s the Newbee RTKP mount coming along? :upside_down_face:

Soon. I may be able to work on it this week (probably can nail it with 2 prints), because I just finished the 18s battery I was working on and gave a client his board back lol

Aw its all good. Let me know if the padded envelope works out.

Hey Yall - Couple basic updates.

@itsrow I designed a couple options for setups like yours, and now have a 40-degree or 50-degree truck option to choose from for the BN hanger profile. As a courtesy for your discovery, I’ll give you a set of those 40-degree ones along with the new upward-angle options to make sure you have your setup squared away. You’re the first to use them on the BN trucks besides my testing setup, so I’d love to see some pictures once you’ve got it set up. For the light package, shipping is going to be about $19 for FedEx International connect. If you’d like I can just create a new invoice for you and get that shipped out this week.

Along with those new changes, I fixed some modeling issues I had with my angled adapters and added another. So now, the default is 4 degrees down, with the extra options being 9 degrees down, 2 degrees up, and 9 degrees up. While I was testing things out I found that the hole location was misplaced for the higher angles, so that issue should be fixed now. I will be adding these additional mount angles as an optional purchase addon on the website as soon as I’ve got some time.

While I was updating the models, I also improved rail fitment and it should be a tad tighter than before and offer a bit more consistent engagement.

I’ve got a couple of light orders to ship this week, as soon as I’ve got those out, I will be working on the RTKP support.

In other news, some website UI issues were fixed, and I added hyperlinks to the BigBeem description. Additionally, I added the dimensions of the lights and weight to the tech specs.

Cheers man, send that invoice whenever you have time. I’d be happy to send pictures with the new adapters. My board looks really cool with them as is but the light only throws 3 or 4 feet :joy:.

@ShutterShock You still working on getting a mount done for 4wd?

Yep I have installed it on @Sobrik3t’s board myself. Designed for jump drives specifically. I also designed the C8 tail light mount for Jump Drives as well

It’s not on the website yet but I took some pictures. It’ll likely be a separate listing since its so unique compared to the normal mounting.

any chance for a mount that works on m1 drives?

None at all sadly, it mounts directly into some of the screws on the jump drive and uses part of the profile as a clip to restrain it. I can add that to my list, but it is a bit tough since I don’t have BN drives mounted on anything at the moment.

I’ll let you know.

I might just make my own that will allow for my weird mounting angle. Once your other ones are released and get an idea for it ill take a shot at it

That’s totally an option as well. You can buy the lights without a mount at all - they actually have a couple mounting points. The one I use is the base M6 bolt

Would love to see what you come up with, if you end up doing it, feel free to share here. What kind of weird mounting angle?

im doing front mounted motors in the front which is a bit less common. It is also on a flux deck so that combination would be a bit uncommon id think

Well, technically, the BN drives only mount in one position now, I think. They would be the same as other BN 4wd setups, of which, there are probably like 3 in the world haha

yeah lol. I have my trucks facing the opposite way so that im able to mount some other stuff but im running at 0 degree so im trying to see if I can get it to work

Update for those that have outstanding orders! They should ship on Friday, including @itsrow

Had some assembly issues that had to be iterated and fixed, fitment of all the light mounts should be great now.

Total angle options for the light mounts are as follows:
4 deg down
9 deg down

2 deg up
4 deg up
9 deg up

I’m not exactly sure why but I suddenly thought of installing these on my Tayto rebuild since I want integrated lights on it anyway.

Haha might be tough fitting them with clearance like that

They might hit the deck, depending on your truck setup

Its that time of year so ordered a set.

What’s up yall! Quick update on the lights, I’ve been working on a few mount designs, and I’m happy to be bringing support to the following trucks, starting next week:

Newbee RTKP
Fatboy Finality Channel Trucks (Incl finality drive versions)
Kaly NYC Channel Trucks
Trampa Precision Vertigo

This brings the total up to 14 trucks! Soon, I will also be bringing support to Rosita trucks from Hoyt (Tabor support), and I’m still working on Trampa IR truck support. Technically, the design for the IR is done but it’s a hard one to test without having them on hand.

Let me know what trucks you want me to support next!
