Hi,
Let me introduce you to my last build the “Red Arrow” : a DIY build started a few month ago with the idea of making something different from the usual electric board and I hope you’ll like it.
At first, the deck comes from an original freeboard deck (custom bamboo) pretty long wheel base and those nice S2 binding that I found very useful. After a few modification to the deck I made an enclosure from a sheet of steel treated with zinc for the esc and took polycarbonate/abs enclosure to fit the battery on top with the led light system.
While the esc is a Ying Li dual foc it will be one of the next part to be upgrade to two vesc 50 amp each.
The motors are 5065 200kv Racestar which I like very much for that build at least.
The truck are some MBS ATS ultra wide skate truck with 9.52 mm axes that I polished and fitted to some dickyho’s motors mount.
As for the ratio it goes with 40t/16t with the 83mm wheels base and 60t/16t for the 6inch setup.
The battery is a 10s4p which can deliver 40amp and damn my motors can handle twice as much not that the esc can at that moment …as the one I use only get 50 amp continuously and 120 for a second or so. So next improvement will be the battery as I’ll make it myself either with samsung 30qs or VTC6.
Last but not least the bumper were homemade from 20mm inox tube…
I need to add the pulley comes for the 60t from Dicky’s shop and the 40t from some great mate in the community, same for the truck a awesome builder gave them to me ! …]
Let give a little more details about how I make the enclosure : well it all begin with a sheet of steel treated with zinc.
Starting with reporting some measurement to get the right shape then bending by hand while the sheep is securely clamp into my workbench.
Checking the fit and continuing the bending process…slowly and surely
Cutting and adjusting the final shape to fit the deck… Covering with vinyl carbon wrap and getting the hole right
Small update on the build : the new battery made by @Acido is arrived and it is exactly what I requested a 10s5p to fit on top of my board with samsung 30Q…The services provided was top notch and the delay of building quick as well. Thanks again to him !
A few pick of the building pack
The second update is the esc part …I ordered 2 Mini Fesc 4.2 some JST 2.0mm connector with pin to make the can bus connector, a nano style remote and a bullet proof anti-spark 200a…from there with the new battery (and maybe I switch with my 6384 230kv but that’s not sure at all I want to keep them for a another build in gear drive or chain drive) I will have a great build that finally have the powa…
special (still need some upgrade from vesc to battery but I’ll get use to it first)
You can see it better when the hoyt is dissembled.
