Heres the long awaited build thread, my board has finally been finished today and had its first test ride aswell, thanks for all the help in the other thread
(sorry no pics outside yet it started raining but ill add more)
Specs
Dual 90mm 500w hub motors
10s4p 379wh battery
Mboards XL enclosure
1.5" mounting hardware
Soft 88a bushings
Bustin eq 36" deck (diy dropthrough modification)
Expected range around 22 miles/35km, top speed 29mph/46km, have not tested the range yet
Weight 9.2kg/20lbs
Building and waterproofing
First thing i did was modify the deck for a dropthrough, i emailed bustin asking if the hollowcore pattern would be a problem to cut through and while they didnt recommand it they said it should be fine, and it turned out good but it was a bitch to cut through i almost broke 2 saw blades
Original look
After dropthrough cut
It took some effort to measure everything up but im happy i did it as the board has a much lower profile
End result>
I also drilled the holes for bolts right over the griptape because i couldnt be bothered to replace it and just made them black with a marker after
Then it was finally time to set up the battery and esc inside the enclosure
The battery originally belonged to my cityrover s5 scooter but i scraped it when it broke and im glad it did because its a pretty beefy battery and fit nice inside
might go with a vesc next time but i couldnt be bothered to program a vesc and i find 4 speed modes and brake modes enough
I wanted to make it water resistant aswell so i first laid everything inside and added some cushion foam
Then put everything inside PVC heat shrink
And in the end added a some tape to cover the holes and make sure nothing moves
Then i placed down the foam for the enclosure and just bolted everything together
holding the nuts while screwing the bolts was a bitch again, and i did manage to get 3 slight cracks while screwing it, the components were sticking a bit out so i had to bend the enclosure, but fixed them with gorilla glue
Final look
Im really happy with how it turned out and how low it is, the deck fits the aesthetic really good
Final thoughts
I was pretty nervous to jump on it for the first ride but surprisingly nothing fell apart or blew up, 4th mode has really strong start torque so i only used the 3rd mode and a bit of second, im really impressed with the power , i only used the second brakes but they are very strong you can lock the wheels if you use them all the way
