First ever serious build! I’ve been lurking around on the forum looking at deals
mboards, flipsky, and amazon and the build is finally coming together after 2 other stupid boards. The motors VESC and remote are all reused from my second board which I couldn’t use anymore because the anti spark witch caught and ruined my battery.
I got the name pink puma because of the pink in the board and the puma part because when i think of carbon fiber I think stealthy and pumas are stealth. Idk ![]()
For the deck i chose the used metro board pheonix deck off of Mboards (didn’t realize it didn’t come with a top to the enclosure).
I made the top part of the enclosure with 3/4 in plywood and sanded in and carved it so it fit mostly flush on the board. I chose pink and black to paint it because I thought it would look sick faded into the carbon.
For the VESC i went with a flipshit 4.2. After reading through the forum that probably wasn’t the smartest idea, I’ll probably upgrade to a dv4 in the future.
For the remote i chose a vx2 pro. Seemed pretty simple, didn’t really know what else I should have got.
For the motors i got some generic amazon motors for $45 each. The reviews were pretty good but I’ll probably again upgrade these later.
For the battery @pecos is rebuilding a lacroix 12s4p pack into a flat 10s4p pack. Thank you!
I’ll probably update this later but any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks
