Idk. I rode it home slow one night, looked at it in the morning and saw how loose it was and found that.

Broke the master clip with the two prongs. I had a spare.

Give that sad chain a big of lube when you on it.
Hard working chain looks a bit dry :sweat_smile:

Yah I’m bad about regularly lubing it. Probably part of the problem!

I recommend fiberglass over that, but to each their own. Kydex is much better than ABS, but it has toxic fumes and it’s a severe pain to work with. Carbon fiber has radio issues. Fiberglass is just right.

Nice design! Looks similar to the one I made for a stormcore.

Here ya go! There is a port for an external metr antenna on the side too. The heatsink is just a .5mm stainless steel plate.

Lid bolts are M5 and go right into the plastic.

At first I thought that was 56.0V and then after I realized it was 5.60V :grimacing:

I’m sorry for your loss man

Thanks, to be honest I’m impressed with myself that it take this long to forget the loopkey plugged in

I never forget to turn my ESC off after I wired a motorcycle tail light into the battery indicator port

Whenever the ESC is on, the tail light has to be on. I learned my lesson after draining my first pack to 2V…

Will follow your lead somehow, or get something that beeps after a while on

Do you have a link for the tail light? And/or an equivalent for front white lights?

This is one reason it is scary to make a giant battery and then run it without a BMS
:scream:
So easy to ruin it.

This idea I like a lot

Just a voltage alarm built into the pack too seems like a good idea.

I used this tail light with the brake light wired to be always on for extra brightness.

and this buck converter for stepping down the 12s to 12v

combined cost is $14! Totally worth it.

Edit: Unfortunately no white verison but I just used a 7" LED bar and a custom 3D printed and Aluminum mount for the front
