I just want to know if someone is interested in buying the same deck as trampa carver and flexible carbon fibre enclosure for 12s 4p battery?

Hey guys,

my friend and I started working on trampa carver deck and carbon fibre 12s 4p battery enclosure kit, it will include already installed threads and bolts to screw the enclosure on the deck, the deck and the enclosure on the photos aren’t 100% done, they need the last finish. The enclosure is flexible with deck, it can be used on any other deck and can be sold like just deck or just enclosure. I will attech the specs after the deck and the enclosure are done.

Fantastic job guys!
Few things:
Like @glyphiks said carbon reduces the range of radio signals, so if you use a carbon deck as well as enclosure that is no good.

Carbon is also conductive and will short stuff out. Depending on how resin rich the enclosure is it might be fine. But some vibration and you get down to the fiber you are in in trouble.

I like the thinking behind the slits in the flanges to prevent the enclosure from cracking. however the narrow slits with a dremel will create stress points and might not be good in the long run.

It looks like you have some bridging in the corners creating the voids. using smaller pieces of cloth will help with that.

I would dial in the process abit more before throwing it out on the market. Just my two cents, I have been messing about with carbon for a long time.

Make it double stack or else you’re just selling a Kaly Deck + Enclosure. Also, if I bought this id add a RF hole since CF likes to block signals.

Yeah, this is a significant potential source of gremlins. I’d suggest maybe doing the outer (cosmetic) layers in carbon, but doing at least one innermost layer of fiberglass or aramid (or basically anything other than carbon) just to avoid the headaches caused by conductive carbon. It’s a big thing in drone frames too, if you’re not super careful to insulate your shit against vibration and abrasion. The cheaper fake carbon (blackened fiberglass) frames can actually be better in that regard.

Please post the price.

I was thinking,

Deck - 150€

Enclosure - 120€, it’ll be upgraded so it doesn’t brake

Kit - 270€, with already installed threads

I have only two layers of carbon, but thanks for suggestions, the enclosure will be upgraded, so it doesn’t crack, you’ll see how it’s going to be, i hope it’s going to be OK

How do you suggest to make a hole or where?

Okay, I’ll try, I’ll do one layer of fiberglass and one layer of carbon fibre, thanks
