I still think oil slick is kinda neat, in moderation. And 100% not plastic wrapped on motors.

Maybe get in touch with the Duck and see if he might have a hail mary for you.

He doesn’t even have hands, he can only do so much.

I ordered pre-welded p groups from @Skyart . I think the limiting step is going to be my ability to assemble everything. It will be close.

I also have my backfire ranger build that I could bring instead. It’s got a 10s5p p26a pack in it (beautiful work by @Mawzie btw). Range won’t be fantastic unless I run it on TB110s though.

Is carve pdx thane friendly, or better to have pneumies?

2629

how? i thought the enclosure only enough for 10s4p?

This, although @rusins exclusively ran thane last year.

Do as I say, not as I do.

I had a couple of moments where I should have ate shit due to my thane wheels, but I just got lucky / have skills. Definitely aim for a board with pneumies.

@frame 10s5p 18650 is a tight fit for eboosted evolve gt but it works.

Skill trumps parts choice every time

Being a skilled rider is no match for a battery fire.

I bet a good enough rider could at least survive those boards

Or a snapped deck

Or a snapped baseplate/hanger/axle

Exploding wheel cores

Exploding bearings

Mounts snapping

Clamps slipping

Belts/chains snapping, gears breaking

…

There’s a million different circumstances where riding skill isn’t really going to help you where better part choice would have.

To be fair, I had a truck hanger snap clean off while at 40km/h (25mph) and carrying a whole bunch of groceries, and rode it out to a stop. So, skill does help a lot.

But skill absolutely is not the be-all and end-all of avoiding crashes.

I have survived similar experiences. But your skill didn’t stop it from happening in the first place and neither did mine.
