Dreamonseed - 18s Abomination

It’s all in the detail now. Failure of threaded inserts is pretty common so I wanted a solution to it. The threaded inserts aren’t even epoxied in, what’s the point… instead, I’ve under bolted with enough thread to still mount the controller enclosure bolts. The other end will hang off the back a bit on the custom plates.

Bindings are causing me some grief with the finish I was chasing, I’m not trusting inserts for that job either so I’m going to have to be a bit clever how I go about it. The MBS is ok but the tomiboi is giving me grief.

While waiting for some paint to dry I made the mistake of looking at the enclosure…

Just wasn’t happy with some of the finish peeling and well… It needed to be properly customised anyway, I was halfway with adding the cable recess and adding flanges all the way round the front and rear for a good seal so to the bottom of the hole I went.

I had to add the charge port after messing up the location earlier in the build so got on with fixing that and installing the new one.

Paint it man… paint it.

I’m going to give this a little trim detail then probably a thin epoxy coat to finish it off.

Be kind, I’ve never really spray painted before.

In other news… this battery has been like realising your going to have red headed children and you know you’ll have to love them anyway regardless if they have no souls…
