I would like to premise this build by listing my intended parts
Meepo AWD Deck
Trampa Carver DS enclosure from Eboardperu
x4 540w Meepo hubs
-I’m planning on using MR60 connectors for the phase wires
x2 Flipsky Dual 4.20 plus ESC’s
-w/ canbus connector I need to lengthen
-1 (or 2?) Antispark switch from Flipsky
12s6p 18650 battery pack (being created for me)
-w/ x2 XT60 outputs and charge only bms
-designed to fit case
VX2 remote and reciever
I wanted the Meepo AWD Pro as a base but with a bit more power for hills and good range. Not all of these parts together, but parts here and there. I didn’t want to spend over $2,400
You might be right, but I know those enclosures are flexible. I’m mostly certain the measurements cut out to not be too wide or to long. I was thinking I just need a good weather seal to help the enclosure to conform to the deck.
Oh also, at this time, I like the idea of hub motors, for thier easy of maintaince, stealth, and quietness. I’m a university student and riding around on campus a lot. Also carrying the board around a lot as well.
With a budget like that you shouldn’t buy anything from Meepo lol. (Unless you really want a hub board, but with that budget you could get loaded hubs which I hear are superior)
Do you want a 4WD street board, or just a powerful street board for hills?
Flipsky vescs hold up fine with the pretty low currents they will see with the meepo hubs. 25A battery and 35A to 40A motor gives you plenty of power with 4wd. Just be sure to add a TVS diode to the input of your vescs
They’re certainly much better with lower currents (and especially since @Blise518B has experience with a very similar build) but I still really don’t trust them, and they don’t do well with 12S. I’ve blown one out after a week of very mild riding on a small motor at 10S and they really have every corner cut
