Yeah going to be hard to let go of what I have planned for mine. Judging by the looks of that deck and enclosure, 14s10p or 15s10p 21700 4wd, everyone watch for a “WTS my car” thread after I finish that build
wow
Are you guys going rkp or tkp ?
I Beliave my madfury adjustables are tkp
Wow - thats a massive deck!
These advancements look so awesome.
Is there some bioboards corner of the internet that’s as fanatic as the Lacroix owners
I don’t understand why it feels like Lacroix has so much more hype. Perhaps I’m just not tapped into the bioboards hype?
Idk but I think Bioboards hasn’t hit the US hype from what I can see, they ship overseas, and Lacroix is from Canada. I would assume that makes buying a Lacroix in the first place make more sense for a US customer
Hey again @mackann!
I was curious about something: I know that you have said that your battery is going to be extremely safe. What I’m wondering is this: how much protection against moisture will this battery have? Those terminals at the ends of the cell holders look like they could potentially short if some moisture were able to get inside the enclosure. I honestly know very little about battery building (most of what I know I learned here on this forum) but I know that all of the battery builders here go to great lengths to make sure that their p-groups are not able to short with other p-groups. Can you maybe describe how this battery will hold up against moisture?
I cant se how this battery would be more exposed to water then any other battery.
For a short to happend you have to have water between here and I find it very low chanse.
Just because you can se nickel does not meen its more chanse for water damage.
But anyway, its not build to be waterproof inside enclosure, I dont think any board is. The enclosure is made to be water resistant and not let water in.
Totally, I was just curious about your design choice. I plan to make this board as waterproof as possible, including using conformal coating on everything I can and maybe adding some extra sealant to the inside edge of the enclosure. You know how it is living up here in Scandinavia You’re gonna be riding on wet streets some days.
Edit: The above photo is showing the part of the PCB that is on the opposite side of where the p-groups attach, right? Would it be safe to cover those sections of copper with conformal coating or no?
Hey to add on to my last question, I was looking for information on what your new enclosure is made out of, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Is it ABS? Or fiberglass? @mackann
Then the best option would be to somehow “weld” the enclosure to the deck with some tough sealant so its not even removable.
Yes as long as its heat resistant
Fiberglass
@b264 joined the chat
In all seriousness, these boards are looking good. Favorite feature is all motor mounted inboard, even on the front, for off road it’s really good
Some boards are.
Honestly. Even if boards were waterproof Does anyone here enjoy riding in the rain? I mean. Sketch af No bueno imo
I always try to keep my shit as far away as possible from water
Some us live places where it rains a lot like @b264 says, life doesn’t stop becauses it starts raining. Or if the streets are a bit wet after the rain stops. I don’t have my own car so I’m gonna be using this to get to work as much as possible.
Ultimately, I want a board that works in the snow that likely won’t be this board, but I have a couple ideas I’ve been kicking around that I might try to DIY some day.
For now, I just want my badass Bioboard to be able to handle the Norwegian rainy days
