Hi all, have started putting my board together after I finally got everything together. I will document the build in this thread.
Components
Landyachtz 36" Evo
eBoosted Enclosure
MakerX Go-Foc Retro ESC
MakerX Anti-Spark Switch
TorqueBoards 75KV Direct Drives
10S4P from Metroboard
Starting Point
Empty Enclosure + Motors Mounted
Battery Velcro Gorilla Glued + Power Button + Charging Port
ESC Install / Mounting
I hot glued M4 Rivet Nuts with M4 screws so I can easily remove the ESC, hopefully the glue holds
Where I’m at:
What I think is remaining:
Glue down the remote receiver
Glue down anti spark switch
Drill holes for motor related wiring
Also note, for component I am glueing down, I am first wrapping in plastic heat shrink, so if I have to remove it I can cut the heat shrink layer.

If you’re worried about the glue holding you might consider using adhesive velcro. Then it’s easy enough to remove/move around

Pretty happy with the progress thus far considering @CiscoV said “maybe in a month I’ll have the enclosure and deck”

If the glue doesn’t hold I will try that. I actually did the glue because I thought the velcro wouldn’t hold + I also wanted there to be space between the ESC and where it was resting to maximize cooling.
Nice! What’s the battery and total weight?

Lol I forgot to include that key information, it’s a 10S4P from Metroboard. This is my test build to see what works, for my official build I am using a 10S4P I bought from @Skyart (40" build).
Unsure of the weight, but the sled is pretty light overall.

I think I did a good job for it being my first DIY build, very happy with how it came out. Excited to do my 40" Evo soon.
A million thank you’s to this forum
Thank you @eBoosted for the link to this forum, I messaged him knowing zero about this stuff a couple months ago and he was very kind
@CiscoV I think I’m beyond having at least a deck + enclosure

Nice 36”. Working on one too. Just making sure you did something to address the phase wire exposure at the joints.

Did you come from reddit?
Yes, but I was asking you kind of silly (hindsight) questions on WhatsApp and you told me to read here
