This board is dedicated to my girlfriend who designed the graphic whose booty is out of this world and to @moon whose booty is probably just as juicy. The original plan was for this board to have moon’s gear drives, but I sold it to a tree
Anyways here’s a list of the things:
- Landyachtz Evo skinned by @Sender
- eboosted Evo SS 18650 enclosure @eBoosted (damn you for releasing the SS 21700)
- 12s5p 18650 battery @Chibatterysystems
- Stooge links @MoeStooge (thanks @Winfly)
- @MoeStooge’s Open gear drive
- dual TB6380 170kv
- thiccboi Metroboard hubs
- Hoyt puck with @mmaner’s modified trigger
- Unity (waiting on dual TB6, but that shit gonna be tight fit)
- Moon beams @moon
Thanks to everyone on this list and especially @DEEIF for letting me steal his build and helping me with the set up along the way. This dude had to send me videos on the trucks just to help my dumb ass. Much appreciated!
First up! @kook scared the ever living shit out of me when he realized that the enclosure would probably get in the way because of the heavy drop of the Evo. I had no way of confirming this until I slapped it on. There was decent clearance to the deck
Tried on the enclosure for a mock fit and it fits fine. Time to install threaded inserts! Not gonna lie, this is the first time I’ve ever done this.
I probably should have used more c clamps but I’m too young and stupid to head downstairs to the garage. @Venom121212 and @b264 recommended a few strategies for making sure I don’t drill straight through so I took my important measurements and went to work
Picked up some @mmaner Mini kit and it helped out a lot. Pretty much used half the kit for this board. Thanks man!
Safety first! The dust that comes out when I started drilling the enclosure was super fine, smelled funny, and tasted weird. Needs more spice. Shitty pics for osha requirements
After drilling out the holes, used a little bit of epoxy for the inserts. Now that’s done. Time for the motors. When I test fitted the gears and the wheels, it was obvious the shaft was about 9mm too long and it was in the way of the wheel hubs. I did not want to drive 10 min to my work to use the machinery there, so I did the next best thing. I watched the Prestige (which was recommended on the Film Enthusiasts thread. By the time the movie was over, I had finished chopping down the shaft. Should I have removed the shaft completely to prevent shavings from entering the magnets? Probably, but it was around 2am and I was high ofc.
uhhh. I don’t know what happened after the 4am mark, but after installing the battery, I guess I stopped taking photos. Also yes, I couldve built the battery myself, but I was too damn impatient. That’s a box of dozens of cells in the back lol. But seriously, thanks to Bara. I had asked for a 12s5p to fit inside the SS but the original BMS he had planned would not have fit so he hooked me up with a smaller 13s BMS even though I had already paid. That’s some excellent customer service right thurr.
But I finished it! The hardest part for sure was when I was installing the trigger for the puck. That spring is really annoying to work with.
I haven’t test ridden it yet because I totally neglected my girlfriend for 24 hours building this board.
Next on the DIY list, Trampa carver and Fluxmotion
