LHB - what is he even doing now

ya that’s a sick setup! @eBoosted just made a ds stack enclosure for that deck too. See LHB put a huge 12s8p pack in that evo for me and i wanted to do the same on the next build too. ill figure out by the end of the week what I’m going to do next ,but I’m thinking flo green on everything including hellcat wides. i think those would be sooooo sick in a fluorescent color. now i need @longhairedboy to take all my monies.
its too bad you dont take dank flowers as payment…lulz

I can do a custom length 12s universal, because the shape of it is pretty standard, however making a custom Century or Evo will not yield to a good enclosure fitment at all and will cause headaches to the builder because it was not custom tailored.

Get a deck there is an enclosure for whenever you can, you will improve the overall quality of the final board by a lot

speaking of which…

i know this sounds crazy… but im getting better results with my new kweld than my sunstone.

should have dropped for this kit a long time ago.

using an 840 cold cranking amp deep cycle marine battery with it. this is .3 nickel and 50J lit that shit up. i had my sunstone cranked to 160 and wasn’t getting welds like this.

did a nickel to nickel test and almost burned a hole in my bench.

Kweld is bad to the bone man. I absolutely love mine. Honestly no reason to use anything else. Been considering buying the kcap so I never have to charge my lipos but the help provide that cable jumping bite.

ok so i tried my sunstone cables, which are 1 meter long, with my kweld and set the cable length to one meter and got nothing. I wonder if the quirkiness with my sunstone recently was because of the cables.

Resistance welding. Long cables no resistance. I think.

Cables under high load also build resistance and break down. No idea how many welds you may have done with it, but there’s a possibility they just need to be replaced.

This of course never occurred to me, even though i had to change the starter cables in my 99 camry for this very reason. I’m going to try changing out the wires and see what happens.

thousands. maybe tens of thousands. I wish i had a counter for this.

How long of leads and what gauge? I tried on mine and never could get it to work.

Be carful it’s not plug and play the length and thickness are critical to the resistance and calibration. Same with the battery if you pull over 2000A you will cause damage to the KWeld will shut down.

800A bare minimum
1200A recommended minimum (this is what the KCaps deliver)
1400-1600 is a good place (this is what dule KCaps deliver)

Holed the peddle down and it will tell you the result of the weld. That will give you a good idea of how the Old leads are

If your going to play around with the cables and battery’s I recommend you do a quick bit of maths

If the wires jump when the weld hits then maybe a pedometer on the wire would count them as footsteps :rofl:

it actually does. Maybe i should tape a fitbit to it.

I can’t imagine skating while tripping. Space time is not in the same realm as your body. That sounds like one of those things that would be a really great time until it becomes a really bad time.

It’s really hard and I don’t recommend it. I get really paranoid and find myself constantly looking around to find cars so that means I gotta go a slow pace of 20mph but then you forget you’re riding a board and you take a step forward for some reason. You’re then rolling on the ground and asking yourself why it hurts and fuck fuck fuck gotta keep rolling to avoid the car. Good shit tom cruise, you’re alive. Wait what? None of that happened, Im a few feet from my driveway
