Esk8.news community charity auction #1 FEB 20 (SERIOUS)

There isn’t a spectacular way to get them in, if the cells run left to right then you can get 6 blocks of 5 neatly in the front with room for wires, but you can only get 16 of the 20 remaining cells in the back in that footprint

Edit: front holds 3 groups left to right and 4 groups front to back, the remaining 3 should leave a space for the BMS off to the side

I also must have missed this, but who are we planning on donating to? A forum member or someone without a board that wants to get into esk8? I know a few people who can’t afford a board but would love to skate with me

yeah but i would tell people who are on a low budget cause i expect this board will be better then an evolve or whatever and will go prob for like 200-300 (i guess)


I got the deck, and it is gorgeous :heart_eyes:

I have been dicking around with some mock ups (which I neglected to photograph) to see what’s going to fit good. I have been absolutely amd unexpectedly slammed with work lately, but I will be getting started in earnest on this very soon :slightly_smiling_face:

In the mean time, please keep hounding me for updates :grin:

I’m really sorry for the delay yall. This week is the week, and I’m gonna at least get the battery built.

Not to worry. Paying gigs and “satisfying the 'bot” come first.

Ok all siliconed up, welding tonight.

TB trucks will need a bit of grinding to work with the BN clamps. Nothing a little belt sander action cant handle. The TB baseplates that I had kicking around in a drawer dont have kingpins, so I’ll have to make a trip to the hardware store. Trying to think if I have any more updates… :thinking:

Nope that’s it for now. Stay tuned, this build is going to be finished this month (a year late) or i’ll eat my hat!

I don’t feel like those are the right cells for an esk8 battery.
