I like using fusion 360 to fully plan out my builds. I think it’s important to fully think out your design before starting. This thing will be ridden very quickly and it’s important that it’s built properly and neatly. I’m glad I learned CAD as I think it’s absolutely critical for a board builder to do their own design work to really call it their own. Even if it’s just basic assembly of parts in CAD.

With the help of some juicy blackmail, I got @BenjaminF to design a PCB for my 20s5p pack.
My initial plan is to reinforce the bottom and top deck with fiberglass before milling out the shape needed to allow for drop-through mounted ROSA trucks. I will be getting my hands on two decks just in case this doesn’t work.
I’d be a little worried about routing that much material out of the deck to do drop through with RKP.
Has anyone done drop through on a UAV/Dadbod/Cascade before?
SRB 3 links would be a good path to the ride height you’re after, as you could just drop the heim through the deck, but I’m assuming you aren’t interested in that path.
Dont forget to apply some kind of insulation (fishpaper, FR4, etc) between the cells and the PCB! There’s PCB copper on that top surface, so you dont want the cell wraps rubbing up against it and causing a short.
Had to stay late at work today, but I couldn’t stop myself from staying up past my bed time to close this up. My job is having a car show and all types of vehicles are welcome. I’ll be bringing my whole fleet hopefully including Denali. It’s on Wednesday
Holy fuck it rips. I haven’t found a way to do a real full throttle pull. Standing up is a skill issue on my end; sitting down the thing did a wheelie out from under me.
Gahddamn this is either really fast or my esk8 skills are falling off. I really hope it’s the first one
Next up:
Headlights, nose LEDs, and eventually the drop through mod
thank you endlessly
