Took advantage of some deals to get a long track race board ready. Ordered the Super Spine deal from stooge already.
Edit: Going a different route than previously planned. Might upgrade in the future, but still need to work on skill before pushing some of the power you guys are putting out. Old build plans still at bottom.
Deck & Trucks: SS super spine. Got from a blackfriday sale, and the spine itself is something unique that I’ve been wanting to build around.
Wheels: Linnpower NEXT rims & tires. Won these at the ESK8Con raffle. Have heard good things. Seems decent on the bench. Have talked with them a bunch and have great support.
Motors: Reacher 205 kv (might go 245kv). Need to push a lot of amps. Makes sense to go reachers instead of outrunners with the Dv6s.
Drive: Stooge open gear drives. Still fine tuning ratio, but it’s going to be something like 17-20T & 78T. Doesn’t get much better than straight cut gears. Price isn’t too bad either. I’ve become addicted to the sound and don’t want to go back. That said, I wish they were a little quieter for night riding. Linnpowers gears would be my next choice if there was a gear ratio that matched my needs. Unfortunately, they need more intrest before more options become available.
Battery: 12s7p molicel 42b. Seems the dv6s maxs out around 12s6p (depending on how hard you push the cells). The 7p allows for less of a drop and more range. Also, it’s about $55 usd more compared to a 6p. 45b put on hold to save some $.
Remote: Duel Trigger z.mote. Currently using one already with a build and love it. Kamens a great guy with a good product. It’s a little big for my hands, but I’ve adjusted enough.
ESC: Dv6s. Had it laying around from a build I was already planning, but decided against. Just saves me some $, but makes gearing a little difficult with 12 & gear drives.
Charger : already have an adjustable charger from spiderbatterysystems for 12s. Again, more $ savings.
Old plan :
Deck - tomiboi deck with stooge super spine.
ESC will either be a d100s, max4, or max5 g2.
Going with 45bs again. 34A per p group.
Possible battery configs I’m considering are 16s6p, 14s7p, 12s8p. The 14s7p has 2 more cells than the others.
Motors 2x 245kv reachers or 2x 70125s ~560kv.
The max4 & 5 can only handle 12s, however can push a ridiculous amount amps.
D100s has a max battery amps of 100 per side. 6p at 34A per p group maxes it out.
Going the d100s route, I can utilize the battery to the fullest by using a higher voltage. The downside is that it can only push 200 max phase amps per side.
Going the max4/5 route, I can push more battery amps (about 36A a side more than the d100s) to fully utilize the battery. The max 5 can push 250 continuous phase amps per side to the motors. However keep in mind the motors to be paired with these are ~560kv.
Maybe I’m over thinking this and should just focus on the max amount of watts I can deliver to the motors.
. But his harness is crazy I guess lol.
