I’ve seen your metal enclosure a bit on your Instagram I think. You use removable lipos yeah?
Care to show us more of that?

Love this board man! We’ve talked on Instagram a couple of times, I love how you integrated the little foot support pockets into the back! Definitely watching this thread

This is seriously cool. Would love to hear how the control compares to a vesc setup.

Yes - I have two sets of batteries. My charging solution is slow so I need two sets when I need the setup to go for a longer period. As I do at the King In The North uphill event. I do the hill while one set is charging. I still need half an hour break between battery shifts. Charging solution is not fast enough.
@DEEIF Yeah - a lot of thoughts have been put in to this deck 
The back drop has s perfect curve to push against.
Thanks @BillGordon. I run the mamba XlX esc’s. They have proved surprisingly manageabl. They have tons of adjustability options. And they are really easy to adjust. I really like that they use % instead of amps when I adjust power and breaks. I set it to the percentage I want. Its just easier for a nontechnical person like myself, that easy can get lost in amps I can set it so my 10 year boy can slam the trigger or breaks and still have full control and I can set it so even Ayrton Senna wouldn’t have a change standing on it. Currently running 75% power and 50% break.
I have a throttle curve for the track, where I also run dragbreak, and a throttle curve for the street and uphill. Very pleased.
They do not start from a stop as smooth as a vesc. When up in speed I dont feel any difference. They are a bit bulky and have a cooling fan that makes a little noice. I am also building myself a new cruiser at the moment. Here I patiently waiting for the 60D to be available. That would be my choice for a street cruiser.
I switch the board on and off by taking apart the two black jacks. They have an anti spark in them. The setup is basic and simple and a bit cumbersome if it were my daily cruiser. But it’s made with a huge safety margin. I have had a vesc fail on me and a blown fuse. Never again. Fewer features = fewer things that can fail

Next step is to make an fiberglass enclosure to fit the huge bottom.

Looks great man! So you have (8) total batteries? What’s the cycle life of those lipos?
Yeah 8 batteries. 18km high speed cruising takes them from 4.2 to 3.7,
These sets are soon a year old and still strong. Them have been used regularly.

This board is so sick. What’s it comfortable “cruising speed”? Like at what speed does the board feel happiest?
@Nacho
Over all length: 106cm
Wheelbase if axles are centered as on the 3links: 106cm
Platform length: 72 cm - then add some of the rear drop which are designed to also push against.
Width: 29.5 cm
Drop: 3.5 cm.
Concave a little under 1cm.
I have made a couple of adjustments to the deck. Like a little shorter frontdrop and a bit longer disstant from the end of frontdrop to the truck. And made the concave a little wider, so it runs over a longer distant. And and extra sheet of veneer for folks weighing more than my 75kg. Waiting for a new end mill for the cnc and then to make new mold for those adjustments. Then I think its very close to perfect.
@Ace Thanks man! As set up here I like to get over 20kmh. Then it’s turning and doing corners like a charm. From 20 and up it just feels so much more commutable doing higher speeds. I find it easy up til 60Kmh and then I need to start concentrating manageing the speed. I reach 70kmh way easier than before. Its not a carve monster though carving on this feels best at 40kmh. But ts just a matter of adjusting the trucks, and it will be at turns and carvy as anything

That’s awesome. My board gets to oh shit I’m gonna die around 60kph and is only comfortable to about 50kph

Dear david!!
Nice build
In your opinion what is a good size for a deck tht performs good on tracks and also for street race purpose?
Wht wheelbase would you recommend?
Under the precondition 3 link trucks are used
Kr and thx
I like huge decks. The Northcamp here that we designed is right on from a 40 kmh track and up and fast street riding. When the track gets tighter with a few tight hairpins it is still ok but then I prefer to narrow the wheelbase a bit.
Wheelbase on the Northcamp when using 3-links is 42”
On a tight 35kmh track I like a 36” wheelbase better.
But I am not done experimenting. I still want to see if I can make the wheelbase bigger on the tight tracks by having the radius rods street side on bit the front and rear truck. Normally wer run the rods board side on the rear.
As it is now I dont see the purpose in having a wheelbase between these two. And should I choose between the two I would go for the 42”. Most of my rinding when outside is relatively fast street riding. There the 42” fits perfectly.
Here is an exsample of a 50kmh track where the 42” felt good to me:
And here my winter short track (40kmh) and tight hairpins where I feel better on 36” but 42 is usable:
When the tracks gets tighter the 36” would likely be preferred.

Ok i got you
So with the 3 links its not a big issue to ride a 42“ wheelbase board on a cart track?
