Interstellar 2.0 enclosure (might use it for my MaxfindFF Street on Hummie Deck Deck Switch BC of Clearance with the Hummie Hubs) mounted with sunk Threads (Glued with epoxy 2C)
Might Just carve Out more space on the Deck to fully fit the Battery and build a simple Aluminium Cover.
Battery is covered in shockabsorbent self adhesive sheets, i was thinking If it might cause overheating but i thought ill Monitor and should be fine. Raise concerns of you have any.
Also using them for fitting Out the gaps i created with Bad Router skills
Since the build is on a tight Budget and i’m unemployed, the battery enclosure ist a diy Out of a thick rubber mat, which will BE Held together by Aluminium frames.
Long Term Plan ist to try Out fiberglass to build the final enclosure, but for now this is it.
cost
4,99€ Rubbermat
2,49 Aluminium profile
Im Not worried to much about impacts, since the rubber mat got those “sexy” knobs. Hopefully the pressure from the Aluminium profiles ist enough to Seal the space water tight
First Test Drive was amazing but also pretty scary, the hummies got enough Power to Go into Burnout Mode once i Hit the Gas a little bit too hard. Even with 30kmh. Good fun tho!
One Problem i still have, is that the Board automatically Turns into Reverse once i break. So Break Till 0 and then full Speed reversing on me. Anybody know what setting in vesctool i have to Change?
Plan for next Winter with fresh Money is to build a Fiber enclosure and Put on some Led Lights with controls. Also 3d printed Plate to hold on Off Button and chargin port
Will also tidy Up the whole Post for Future Bilder
@hummieee thanks for building me the Hubs and the Deck and also for all your Help along the way!
Check Out my other Posts to See where i came from ^^
Yoo nice! For the reverse mode issue, you’ll want to head into vesctool and see what control mode you are using. The default is current no reverse which is what you are likely after. If it is in current mode, it will start reversing after it is stopped. Smart reverse puts you at a stop and then reverses you if you brake again while already stopped.
Nice choice of components for a first DIY. Main concern would be battery clearance and enclosure strength with hub motors have you checked flex under load and heat dissipation, especially if you carve the deck and run an aluminum cover?
It’s full on Winter here, so i didnt do real driving / carving. Battery Clearance is about 60-70mm, If only Sticks about about 1cm over the Deck.
Only tested a Bit of straights and uphill, but for now im going backpacking for 6 weeks and once i Return the build will be tested to the Max so its ready for Festival season!
I was looking at them too but the price difference was to steep for me. I went from 300€ China Deck to maxfind FF Street 650€ and now the battery and Motor each Costs more thank my previous Decks
