MTB Dreamin' How is it looking?

It’s for charging two 10S6P 21700 packs in parallel. You know, Baja :wink:

Mhhh naah naja yes, but
Lipos have there place in light mtb setups.
The moment you don’t mind about range but want to go as light as possible without to lose performance.
I would say roughly about a range of 12-15km plus there is the point where LiIon win in nearly all points over lipo packs.

Yep. Thanks Dexter. Since you you are not really working on much these days you should come out with more batter options… :slight_smile:

Ok. So funny how this Love(addiction) for esk8s works.

I have found a loophole in my head to justify spending more money, so I can move ahead with this build. But I think I am getting by pretty easy really…

So let me kind of start over with a parts list.

MBS Comp 95 complete. Got it for 240 on ebay. gets here tomorrow.
Matrix II trucks. Rockstar II hubs. 8 inch tires.

Boardnamics mounts.

Momentum Boards Chain drive Kit.

Focbox Unity.

Mini RC remote(cause it’s my fav)

Maytech 6374 170kV sealed motors. (will run unsensored as one has a bad sensor).

2 Meepo ER batteries to make up a 10S4P 40T pack.

Pelican 1020 Micro Case for the ESC.

Pelican 1150 Case for the batteries.

So my genius idea(the loophole) was to pillage a couple of my smaller builds for their Meepo Battery.
I hope that with the 10S4P 40T set up I can get 10 miles or so of good riding time.







More to come as parts show up.

Looks good to me but the momentum boards chain kit seems strange to me.

The picture he posts does now show mounting holes for the wheel hub


But the completed build shows Rockstar 2 (your mbs wheel hubs) mounting holes

I would suggest making sure they are drilled for mbs rockstar 2 before you buy.

And they’re likely not the best quality. I suggest ISO 06b chains and sprockets. More expensive and harder to buy if you don’t have a drill press but worth. (overion.fr) etoxx webshop) for plug and play ones.

I did check with Steve at momentum and their kit will come drilled to be plug and play with the rockstar hubs. I really would like to avoid any drilling as measuring and centering crap is hard for me. I did not see a sprocket kit alone on etoxx. Only as part of a mount set. Really I would love some gear drives But trying to keep it cheap for now. I had not checked out ze french. Will do so now.

Don’t waste your time with sprockets that aren’t steel

I assumed the momentum stuff was steel… What is it made of?

I thought it was too but just checked his site.

Doesn’t say what they are. Maybe anodized aluminum?

Perspex motor mounts so anything is possible right

A bit more action tonight. Got the the two pelican cases bolted on. Fixed up motor cables. Put the chains on.
So just need to get the Unity and battery wired up. Should be riding it this weekend.
