hewwo!
in the season of board build threads, here’s my continuing adventures with OwO
and yes, I know this is not “on time for BOTY”…
CHAPTER 1
so after having a good run with my old board(6-8k miles old now) I’ve decided to branch out, make something more, beat-upable? more capable and a better all rounder, specially for when the frozen water starts fallin from the sky
now, I hope you can bear with me, this is gonna be a dooozy, already wildly different stuffs has been installed since I built it in the summer. It started off as plans for a nice jumper 2wd, but uhhh, yeah that didn’t happen. and after plenty peer pressure, it went from a supposed-to-be 35 ish? mph board to as fast as my balls would let me go
gonna try to keep it short but juicy 
cause I know som y’all don’t wanna read. is ok I don’t like readin either
ok let’s get started.

enough with the parts, onto building
poast packs
ok so uhhh, let’s start with the battery! So I fly between school and home at least 4 times a year. And ain’t no way I’m using my god given legs. So on my old board, I used to take 6 6s 4.2Ah lipos with me, cause the TSA doesn’t have a limit for the amount of batteries <100Wh, long as the airline is ok with the amount you bring.
but of course, I wanted moar. Sooooooooo in early? 2021 I asked @BenjaminF (my goodness your handle is hard to remember) to make me a couple 6s1p p42a battery packs…
10 packs later he stopped making small packs altogether lmao
still completely fine while flying, but I still wanted moar
enter: Poast Pack 1.0
6s1p P42A flat packs. 15 made over the course of 24 hours over 3 days.
I hope I got my math right
–90 cells
–150 battery tabs
–600 rounded corners
–105 balance lead solder joints
–2400 spot pairs
–15 main battery lead pairs
–I didn’t measure how much fishpaper and tape I used
–2 beers
–and a glass of wine
and yes I have been able to take it flying with me, though the TSA got puckered real nice and decided a materials specialist was needed… they asked me a whol lotta questions and then took pics for documentation 
in total on that trip, I had
–all 15 poast power packs
–3 6s 4.2Ah lipos
–2 6s 1.05Ah lipos
–and a hole lotta extra bits of battery powered things
just the batteries alone adds up to 1724.94Wh 
the TSA loves me
I don’t wanna bore you with the build process with words (it was pretty uneventful tbh except when I gave myself a burn that blistered with a hot glue gun), it’s almost the same as, most battery packs, just without a BMS
–single stack
–double layer uhhhhhhh 10mm nickel
but here’s a photo montage
woo buddy battery buy
FP rings on the plussy bois
half the bois were condomized
hot glue
moar hot glue
biggie bricky pack
tinning all the tabs
cutting corners
bam. welded
closeup
oops broke my iron
first pack done, tested a wiring layout idea
nah, goin a different route
balance wires
protecc
spoghetti
hot bois
second pack done
naked
ooooooo, naked from the bak
don’t have any other photos
BAM 18s5p pack I can take flying with me, sort of
it’s always scary when I go lol
that’s all, really
the full shaft
soooooooooooooo
the build
lots of photos, uhhhh let’s see what I got,
turns out I got a lot of photos so we skippin round this a bit mebe, keep it fresh
here’s teh dick
uhhhh, skip a few steps, here’s the whole thing sans the electronics
and then, as protecc, I designed and made bash guards
then I wend back in and wrapped my gear drives, cause I have a problem lol
now the fun part! I guess break from pics for a second… so here I am, wanting to meet up with a group ride on a saturday morning, and I’m here sitting, friday afternoon, not having done the electronics yet. now it doesn’t seem like much, but trust me, it was a lot. on top of that, sadge 100Ds weren’t in stock so I had to resort to using 2 60D+s (which worked wonderfully)
so it’s time to pull an all nighter and prep this bad boi. what does this entail?
– redoing the motor phase wires
– redoing the motor sensol wires
– making the wiring harness for the batteries
– i guess that’s really about it…
aight here we go
first, we circumcise the sensor wires
then we make new motor phase wires
then blah blah bam! cable sleeving
and then get high on solder fumes and reduce my lifespan by about 5 years
5 minutes in cad and we make som cable holes for the top mount peli baby boy
and we make some sensor adapter thingies (watch out for these later)
some magic later and we got our wires ready to go
onto the battery harness!
first, 4 series pairs
then we put all the positives of the 4 pairs in parallel, same with the neg
and on the other side have it split in parallel for the escs! bobs your mama uncle, you got a setup for “12s4p” on 4wd
whoosh! completed electronics
i guess that’s all for the first round of building…
next day a very successful ride, 39 km round trip! with bowling!
