Bought my first eboard earier this year for college campus which was a boosted board stealth. Sold it within a month because it was too slow. Luckily shipping hasnt taken too long and it has only been a month since I started buying parts. Super excited to get this thing running.
Didn’t really like the color since it wouldnt match my whole blue setup so I sanded and spray painted it blue. Then I brushed polyurethane on top of the paint.
Finally received my TB parts and ran into some issues. Maytech 6374 motors have short shaft length. You won’t be able to use motor pulleys with the thick grub screw end part. Unfortunately this makes a pretty noticeable rattling noise because I’m just putting the motor pulley on with just a key and no grub screws. I think I should be fine. But I would recommend for those using this motor and 155mm motor pulley to buy ones without the thick collar part.
Drilling the holes for the enclosure and making them line up with the inserts I drilled into the deck was a nightmare. I now have one insert that is filled with loctite and is stuck in the deck. Got my vescs, motors, and battery and started wiring things up.
It’s bad enough that I’m using a 12s2p battery. Even worse is that it’s from mBoards. . Just testing out how I like the range on this and will build my own battery later on. Just waiting on some risers since the 36 inch deck has like no space on the tail with the enclosure and drivetrain. Meanwhile, here are some pics of the board without the enclosure on.
Mostly budget issues. I bought the MBoards battery used for $115 so I was like why not for my first build. I will upgrade to a 12s4p in the future though, but I don’t know if it will fit in the enclosure. I agree though, fuck MBoards.
I just wanted to see if a 2p configuration is enough current output for me. $115 for a test battery aint too bad since I have the plan of getting a better battery anyways
the construction on the mBored packs is suspect at best… as long as you keep an eye on it and don’t push it max discharge and/or on a flexy deck… add a fuse to your charge port and keep an eye on it…
on the ratboard build I’m using an even sketchier battery and going to ask for more powwaa… it may end in fire… but the build deserves to end that way
