I just wanted to reserve a spot in your thread to say congrats when the build is done!
Adding to my watch list.
Solid component list. This will be a nice build!
Have you considered internal FlexiBMS instead of the external BMS? You should be able to fit it in. It’s very small. Having used both external BMS and internal Flexi, I wouldn’t go back. It just makes charging so much more convenient.
Thanks @janpom. I want it, but it’s a little expensive for me, and not so available. And a bit too new – for BMS I want to get in at version 1.0 or later. Almost 100% what I’d like though. @DerelictRobot make your version soon!
For convenience, I think initially I’ll check balance before and after rides and charges, but after I understand how it’s behaving, most likely I’ll charge to 90-ish percent, discharge to like 40%, and balance once a month if that. Mostly just ignore that it has no bms. My main ride has gotten this treatment, so nothing new to me.
Are those tires and tubes newly delivered this week? I’ve been trying to inquire if the v2 tubes were in stock on the website and haven’t been able to get a response.
Just got them. I think they’re v2.
How do we find out? Anyone have markings to compare the old and new?
I have v1 tubes around. I’ll compare in the morning. Let’s see if @haggyboard.timo or @haggyboard.jeff can answer.
The mk2s need to breathe. Let them out of their packaging and assemble it already! Haha
Today’s the big day. I have the slr with macro lens ready. Debating whether to pull out the tripod and lights.
Go all out, we will appreciate that.
Okay so I was thinking I’d get the drives assembled today, but it’s actually better to get the enclosure mounted first, and I think I need to drill some new holes for the rear truck. Also gotta cut some motor shafts down. So I’m gonna take my time and get this thing as good as I’m capable of. Some herringbone porn though. RIP lhb’s hosting bill.
Damn you, your parts list is nearly identical to mine, just better in every way
Looking forward to the completed build
I don’t have a drill press. Sigh I wish I could say all 4 holes were perfect. 3 out of 4…
(too lazy to fix white balance…)
Yesss it’s happening! Can’t wait to see the final result
Let’s see what parts I’ll need from china that’ll stall the build a few months…
You put painters tape everywhere BUT where you drilled? I use it to stop the wood from splicing up…
