There seems to be 1 thread that shows the max battery that depending on the battery makers skill level, can wedge into this stock space, but it was still undecided. There was also confusion over the type of board as people were comparing an evolve carbon gt to an evolve carbon which are completely different boards. Carbon has the enclosure underneath and the GT has the enclosure access from the top of the deck.
We are referring to the underneath board enclosure model.
Cheers.
What size battery can you fit into this standard space. I can’t figure out what that battery is. I took an 18650 and spaced it out, and it seems to be 10s6p, which I didn’t realise they even did.
Has anyone used a spacer to put a larger batery in there. If so what did you go with?
I’ve heard these boards may have had the samsung 30q cells back in 2014, can anyone confirm this, or does anyone know what cells they used?
Yeah I’ve had this board for 6 years and it’s going fine until Iive pulled it apart to make it faster etc.
I’m going to cut up some thick perspex pieces, sand them frosted,and make a flexible boarder enclosure spacer with LED’s facing into the perspex so it can later house some double stacked p42a’s.
Buy if anyone has already done this, would love to know.
@whitepony has a build thread. Some of these battery making procedures are outdated and probably dangerous, especially with a super-flexible deck like this.
Cheers bro. I’ve gone through loads of vids on youtube and taken the safest approach of all of the youtubers incl. Lee Wright who although safe, even imho is a little bit rough with how he handles his equipment and stuff, drops/bangs stuff around. But yeah man, appreciate that, I’ll check it out. Looks to be the way I’m going because nobody in NZ is doing custom batteries to fit skateboards anymore, sadly and shipping anythinf not 100% certified seems to be on most freighting firms probably not list.
On the tail mate, I’ve kept the plastic housing for it. I will also utilise the heat sink area to locate the BMS also. I also have been asked to put a 5V buc in there… we will see
Oh snap! Embarassing. Hey man, not bagging your battery build vids bro, you are the best builder I’ve ever seen and deemed the safest. You just seem super fast with how you handle your bits and pieces, putting things down quick and banging stuff around lol. Cheers for chiming in
Your vids are amazing, and, we are ordering our BMS’s from your site hehe ,
No worries bro! I don’t mind at all, I am famous amongst my friends for being terrible with looking after my stuff, I’ve already killed 3 cameras in my short youtube career
Wow, I can’t believe someone wants this thing 4WD, jeepers creepers lol. Mines just gonna be a 2WD ashphalt carver with 6384’s for inner city and central suburbs hill climb carving if need be.
Cheers for putting up that build pic. That helps heaps.
It gets crazier, he also wants elofty hubs and Trampa superstars so I’ve designed some adaptors for that too. It’s going to be a crazy custom this one. I can’t wait to ride it
