Magnum Seed | Rayne Demonseed 44 | 78mm Venom Magnum [Serious]

I’ve gotten 23.9mi / 38.5km from this

This is the new preferred medium-haul vehicle in my fleet. For short or long trips, I usually grab a different vehicle. For medium trips or if it’s raining or wet, this is my typical grab.

Board looks great man! Great to see this deck built out, it’s unobtanium until the new ones get done and even then… Not the same.

Word on the street is Rayne ghosted again.

I’ll believe that new Demonseed 44 decks exist once I see photos of them LoL

And if so, I’ll need another enclosure right away! :crazy_face:

Awww hell yeah @b264, so happy to see those trucks made it onto this badass build! I’m gonna have to try out this butyl tape

I like the 52° angle, especially with this long deck. I almost went 50°/50° instead of 52°/44°.

52°/48° I think would be ideal but I don’t know of any Caliber2 compatible 48° baseplates.

This build is incredible. I’m using the same motors and attempting to waterproof my enclosure as well. My question for you is how was setting up HFI? My sensors came broken from the factory (kinda knew that they would) and I never got HFI to work without a little bit of flipping when I move the motors by hand.
I hope this isn’t too off-topic but I’d love to model parts of my personal build after what you have going on here. Also, I love how you have the voltmeter going through the enclosure! :joy:

These motors are notorious for getting hot.

HFI is notorious for changing when the motors get hot. This makes it not tuned anymore.

So that means once the motors get hot, the HFI doesn’t work as well anymore. But it does still work. Kinda. I’m actually running FOC/unsensored on one side and FOC/HFI on the other side. I had issues tuning it, but in the end I kept landing on the default values 20/4/10:

My biggest advice is don’t have ANY wires exiting the enclosure. Epoxy male (with the pins) MR60 connectors or whatever through the enclosure so there are zero wires going over the lip of the enclosure. If wires must go through, epoxy them through, don’t use cable glands.

Just wondering if you’ve had the opportunity to use these wheels in the damp? Wondering how they compare against narrower wheels?

This is my rain board now. Yes, I used them in the pouring rain more than once. :sweat_smile:

Obviously, polyurethane longboard wheels in general don’t excel at performance in wet conditions. That being said:

They handle better than most wheels, notably better in the rain than the SuperFly 74A and the Flywheel 74A and the TB110 78A and the Constrictor 81A — but not better than the TB110 72A, which outperform these Magnum 74A. My TB110 74A are so beat up and end-of-life it’s hard for me to compare those.

Maybe I’m dumb, but where exactly is the butyl tape? Is it just what you used for the enclosure gasket?

Also, why did you switch away from your favorite wheels of all time, the TB110? Looks like you could heave easily mounted the trucks further to fit them.

Cool build though! Not sure how I missed it a week ago.

Yes, it’s the enclosure gasket. It has the consistency of used chewing gum that just never hardens or moves. It’s also slightly flexible so if there is any flex, the seal is not being broken. It also creeps down the threads of the bolts and seeps out from under the washers and from under the boltheads. It’s amazing.

I had planned to have some new TB wheels on here but they have not arrived so the plans got changed to this.

I’m happy with the way it’s turned out.

Apologies if it’s been mentioned, but are you running any soft risers? How’s the ride on the magnums? I like them analog, but i feel they might get a little bumpy under foot once electrified

I decided to say F it today and just enable it. I was skeptical, as when I played with it on a bench it would cog just a little bit at higher amperages. Upon just hopping on today, HFI worked beautifully and I was able to get a sensored-like startup. I’m a little confused but I’ll take it! Thanks for the help! Also how come you have it running on only one motor?
