My Esk8s. A journal of sorts

Back to tinkering we go.

Remember how I had mentioned all I needed for the Llama Link was trucks…
Oh the lies we tell ourselves.

Somehow in the frenzy of the excitement of planning the build I thought, it may take me forever to build this battery(I have all the parts here)
And then @AlexB freaking basically offers to give me this 12S8P SKP pack. (it was such a good deal, I would have been irresponsible to say no)

Off course, that beautiful giant pack would not fit in the Old Flux enclosure I had, or the Khymera enclosure I had originally planned to use.

But it did fit the @tomiboi enclosure it was made for beautifully, which got made and shipped out to me just in time to make this a Christmas Miracle.

bigger is better right

So it is Sunday, December 24th, and I had all the parts I needed.

No bolts for me…

this relic made it on to the bench.

because I decided I needed an extension bracket in the back as well.

Many sets of inserts on this deck…

This was a lovely fit, so stocked when stuff is meat to work together.

The board was not quite together for this shot.

I actually got back to tinkering on Christmas day.
and just slathered Kapton everywhere.

needed a hand to connect the motor cables

And there it was.
