Right now I am using them on standard trampa trucks, with a special 3D printed adapter which offsets the wheels by ~50mm. I have however designed some extended trucks which will be produced very soon.
ICE CRUSHER | 16ply HOLYPRO | 4W chain drive MTB | 4x 6374 170kV APS | quad ESCAPE | Steering damper
What 5" wheels are you running? Those ice gokart tires are perfect… still haven’t found a good winter tread in 11" tall 4" hub… continuously tempted by the agriculture style tires…
A.M.V 125mm (5”) rims. Can get them here;
Looks like someone has made an adapter for the Bajaboard as they offer it here
Tyre 43 Euro, Rim 40 Euro, Adapter 92 Euro
WIth these my Bajaboard will be 100 lbs.
+10lbs and it’s heavier then me
Holy moly! That issss indeed an ice crusher of a monster you built!! That thing is beefy as hell!! I’m picturing a miniature 50mm machine gun mounted to the side of it with a action figure manning it. Most excellent work sir!
Thank you sir!
I was sure that there will be no snow anymore this winter… but apparently I was wrong.
Didn’t have had a time to change the tires to the studded ones, so I had to deal with stuff like this
It’s a lot of fun to ride with and more than enough power. More than you can get traction on the road.
One thing I need to get sorted is to get the tires balanced. From about 35km/h that thing is shaking very hard.
It’s not build to be super fast, but non the less, better to get things straight.
Such a beast! I feel like you could run over some of our junior forum members with this board and not even touch them. @DEEIF I nominate you.
I’m down! When and where!
Goodluck buddy, way to take on for the team.
What 4wd beast! I have the same 10 inch wheels and I know how many torque they needs.
What are your batteries?
I run 8x 5Ah 60C 6s lipos in 12s4p configuration. Might change to LiIon by next year, but as long as those lipos go strong I will ride them.
What was the total cost if I could ask??? $6k???
That board went through different shapes and configurations and I’m sure it’s still not the final version of it
So, hard to say what I spend in total on it.
How ever, to think how much I learned during building it and how much fun hours I had so far it’s definitely worth every penny.
Haven’t updated this here for a while.
Even if it’s a nice board like this I need to change some things.
Like always that will end up in a full refurbishment… I guess.
So what I’m going to do.
I had issues with my gt2b on another board and I just can’t trust it anymore. Means I will switch the remote to my Hoyt or OSRR. Both of them work with one receiver only, means I need to switch to CAN bus instead of dual receiver for front/rear escs.
I also had issues that the LED strips start to break off as they do not like the 90degree bend around the corner of the esc case.
I will take the LED strips off which means I need to sand down the alu cases after that and spray paint them again.
I still want some red lights for the back so I got me those lights which will be mounted on the crossbar of the motor mount.
The battery box will need to go as well.
Firstly because I need to switch from front/rear separation to one circuit for both drive trains.
Secondly, I want to be able to use my 12s10p vtc6 pack which will give me close to 1300Wh instead of 888Wh with the 4p lipo pack.
If everything goes well I’m going to route the CAN bus and the light power wires through the deck.
I‘m not experienced with routing channels, so that’s something new for me as well.
Last but not least I have some big changes in wheels hopefully, but till I don’t know if the adapters in production will fit, I guess I better do not tell anything about that part.
Very nice! Don’t you have problems with things coming into chain transmission, particularly onto the front drivetrain?
I did have a 25 km/h to 0 fall because of that, once. That’s why I’ve chosen gear drive transmission for my AWD build, despite it’s heavier.
I love this E-TOXX chain drive yet, it’s the best for 80 mm motors IMO.
I had one full stop because a small stone popped inbetween the chain and the sprocket once, but besides that I’m so far lucky and don’t have issues with wood or stuff getting stuck.
It’s definitely a downside of the chain drive unfortunately. There is always the risk that something could get stuck.
I don’t ride fast with that one, so I hope it will be fine in future as well.
