Bit of backstory:
I slightly cannibalized my dying direct drive board for it’s esc’s a while back for my mountainboard. Since then my speedy board has fallen to decay and have not went zoom zoom on urethane. I miss the whole getup, minus the vibrations but that’s not a deal breaker!
Small wide wheels were the first idea I had. (among other things) and that would be small wide wheels. I experimented with Caguamas and Abec11 97’s on my previous board but had complications with the whole direct drive aspect and mounting plates. I found the wider Cag’s were grippier and smoother out road noise you feel. Thanks @Skunk stay blessed
I originally wanted to start with the deck I had before. It really needed some love and I considered sending it in for some skin, but Found something interesting later on while watching the days go by. Another day; another dollar the boss says. You can clearly see a 200mm hanger is too wide for these wheels. something had to be done about that.
And there was! This is a 150mm RKP Surf Rodz hanger. One thing I don’t like is it’s all chamfered vs the squared 200mm versions like my front hanger. I had to rethink the mount options and thankfully @akhlut had some extra axle mounts on order.
Here is that tangent I stumbled upon while thinking about decks. Bev anounced he had some haya’s from the V3 batch with glue on each side of the plys to hopefully prevent cracking like on the v2’s. This is #07. I had to rethink my battery since I thought I was going to re-use the TB 12s4p but that’s double stack and obviously won’t fit.
Time to work on the lid. It has some scratches and I needed to rough it up for frit so I sanded from 800 to I think 3000. That pic is the 800 grit job vs the before.
This will look awesome, makes me want to put a board just to cruise a bit
Careful with the epoxy, the phase connectors have little holes that it will leak inside and ruin them, you need to seal them first with silicone or hot glue, ask me how I know
Put the right connectors on the motors. The phase wires were a pain in the butt, I had to grind off the coating on each strand with my Dremel after chopping the ends off to solder it.
Getting ready to affix the esc’s in place but not sure I want to actually do it until the NESE modules arrive to gauge space. I mean; they are as far back as they will go anyways so it wouldn’t make much difference. I’d like to add an anti spark I got for 2019 secret santa as well and it’s not a great form factor for the Haya full of batteries but we shall see.
Where did you get your 10mm washers from? Rona is cock blocking me. I tried a few sellers on ebay and they each refunded me saying they weren’t shipping.
That’s probably possible, I’m not going to do it. Not pushing exorbitant amounts of power through them and the aluminum lid has a foam backing on it to prevent water ingress and potential shorts which would have to be cut away in parts.
@ThermalChild I’ve had these for a while. Think I got 'em off ebay? I need to get appropriate sized spacers so I have some of these spare for fine adjustments!
Yep, I used neoprene foam to keep my focboxes sandwiched to the lid with thermal paste and it seemed to help a lot… I could tell I was really pushing it when my back foot sole would get hot.
So I got my power switch… It’s the perfect size for where I want it to be except for a certain dimension called HEIGHT. It’s way too long and will interfere with the lid closing if I want it in that recess. I have two, so I’ll cut one in half to see if I can still wire it up.
sweeeet buuiiild ! Cant wait to see more
