the total lack of paper and kapton on the pgroups to isolate the cell cans from rubbing all over each other is disturbing to me.

I love how the balance tabs are exclusively folded of the shoulder of the can, and that poor bottlenecking nickel…

That’s nuts. on this pack the balance lead is on the positive side, there should be paper between the can and the tab or fire happens.
On a recent pack i saw, they were on the negative side (putting them on the next positive over lol) and they actually had the paper between them in that one.

What are your thoughts on hot gluing balance leads between cells? I have this 10s1p stagger block and I was thinking if running the balance leads so half run down the back over the nickel and the other half are diverted away down the gap between cells to the other side (main discharge leads on that side)

That’s similar to how i built my evolve packs prior to about a year and a half ago. Most of those are still running, i’m just now getting people wanting to send thier first round packs in for rebuild because they’re depleted. IT works, but by today’s community standards its a bit scary. A bit of paper between the wire and cells is the best plan, and you can still use the gap between cells if you squish the paper into the gap.
I run the balance leads over the paper on the evolve mods now, and i kapton the shit out of the edges before neatly running the wires down the edge. They still have to be built that way if you want it looking stock.

I have the plastic spine between them so it’s mostly against that but I will try and get paper in there

This was another one I realized I had a screenshot of. Dude on Facebook, I cropped his name and pic out. Pack shorted his first ride iirc. And he shipped it like that back to tiller for repair…

Ok, so we started talking about his batteries. Any evidence he’s learned from these battery mistakes and public ridicule? seems unlikely any builder would want to see these come back and not change some habits?
Regarding the apology though, what’s the status there?
I do feel like if someone’s willing to apologize and make amends that’s something we should encourage in this community. So i’m wondering if this apology turned out to be genuine.

As of two months ago, no. Not to my knowledge at least.
Probably because he doesn’t want to charge my kind of prices and spend more time on fewer builds. Frankly i can’t blame him for that logic.

But at the same time, why not? If you want cheap performance you can absolutly get it from china now. So who in their right mind would try to compete? People know if they want top shelf boards they need to pay for it. Kaly, lacroix, yourself and others like Rion race scooters prove that.
The charging a lower price because im going to put lower work into it kills me. It shouldn’t have a place in the domestic market imo.

I guess if anyone is curious ole boy does keep an eye on this thread. Seems a little too coincidental to randomly comment on one of my instagram posts from 2019 out of the blue when I have no other inactions with him…
I know cyber bullying didn’t exist where you were a kid Dave, but this is pathetic school yard behavior. Do you still owe people money???
