This has been one I’ve been thinking about for a while and I’m really excited to do. This is meant to be kind of a cross build post for Eboardsperu building a new custom enclosure and me building my board with it. I’m a derp and forgot to take a picture of the beautiful Red Ember Deck @jamie built for me before sending it off to @eBoosted for the custom enclosure and battery. This will be a 12s8p on 40t’s using some @torqueboards 6374’s on a 220mm fixed mount, might throw some six shooters on it I have laying around to start. Hopefully some people with Xapham decks will be psyched to see a custom enclosure to go with it!
Alright so we finally got the battery and enclosure but getting all my ducks in order for this build.
A couple big things that came up, started looking at wheels and how much enclosure clearance we’ll need.
Right now the enclosure is sitting about 2 inches off the ground testing with six shooters (not bad but not great), always have the option for some risers. After much discussion with @jamie it sounds like the Xapham deck was made to fit the original 6×2 six shooters so a larger wheel isn’t necessarily an option on the 220mm torqueboards trucks I’m using. Thinking about the Torqueboards 6×3’s or the new six shooter 6×3’s, but not sure if the extra width will bite (my instinct is that it’d be okay).
Looking at options for a wider truck, noticed Trampa has a 10inch or 254mm truck and thinking about that as a viable solution. Was going to use my 220mm torqueboards fixed mount originally, but the motors are deck and enclosure biting, so I’m looking at running reverse mounts which I generally avoid. Should be throwing the new @torqueboards 6 esc’s in this once I get those from my man Dexter.
Basic mini remote, nothing fancy, I’m happy.
Any thoughts, suggestions or help is more than appreciated as always!
Getting this whole thing finally moving this week. Been spending some time painting the board to do some glass frit, then hopefully hooking it all up this weekend! Pics of the paint process!
ahh ok just the stencils ahhahaha, so you used a can to get this things on there.
Yeah, its sweet. Reminds me a bit of helloween stuff and things.
Is that a black widow?
Yeah, I’m no artist, picked out some fun spooky stencils and just taped em to the board and sprayed it down. I’m not sure if it’s a black widow but sure looks like it!
!
I’m pretty happy with how it turned out
