Epic result, man! Congratulations! :partying_face:

Did everything go as smooth as the photos suggest?

Sort of, kind of, not really :rofl:

The actual infusion was 100% successful, the first one iā€™ve actually nailed.

I did have a hiccup this morning as i managed to puncture the bag in several places and needed to completely replace it :rofl:

Also, the texture from the glass fabric has quite strongly pushed through into the silicone mold on the outside of the enclosure, as well as a couple of pinch points on the inside on the ribs. But this is all easily rectified with a light sand and some paintā€¦ i hope :rofl:

All in all, iā€™m fucking stoked. It worked, i learned more lessons, and i have ideas on how to make the next one better.

Its a long, slow, expensive and arduous experiment trying to nail this process, but I feel I am nearly there :ok_hand:

watching the process has been fascinating mate, trial and error and improving all the time. Have been enjoying the insta stories

Yeah, respect. Iā€™m hugely tempted to have a crack at it but even the cost of the vacuum pump alone is enough to put you off. Good luck with the final rendering. Looking forward to seeing how the Haero enclosure improves on this one! :muscle: :clap:

actually i like this website (except of the moble version which is full of bugs) i mean it looks like a proffesional/technic website were you buy mechanic parts, full of blueprint and specs and options, and thatā€™s what Iā€™m buying
(I mean, thatā€™s what i would be buying if i wasnā€™t poor)

The only things i donā€™t really like is the information overload, the overinflated descriptions and the bugs on mobile. Beyond that itā€™s just fine.

Iā€™d make the parts selection process a multi-page process though. Similar to checking out in most shops. This way it leaves enough space to put some reasonable descriptions under items, like deck selection letā€™s say, and keeps the amount of information on the screen down a bit

The common trap of designing an app/site on a desktop computer and only afterward trying to make it look good on mobile. Itā€™s always going to look like trash. If you design the narrow version first, THEN make the desktop version, great results happen.

I navigate this site in 1/4 of my 4k screen on pc. On smaller screens itā€™s ok but everyone forgets scaling or just assumes nothing beyond 1080p exists

Meanwhile trampaā€™s site just unfolds with all the information it was keeping away on mobile. Itā€™s definetly more usable on pc and actually pleasant to navigate once you get the hang of it

This is the exact reason I prefer 1080p screens, small-ish (like 23")

but more of them, like 2 or 3 screens

A friend got 1 ultrawide curved 4k screenā€¦
ā€¦now he wants 2 more for roughly 160Ā° view, + a regular screen for stocks.
I donā€™t want to even begin ranting about how stuff looks on one single ultrawide screen

Iā€™m running 4.7 (10T and 47Tā€¦ math lol) with 190kv 63100 motors. Assuming the kv is correct it should reach about 70km/hr while having torque for anything

Iā€™m sorry to let you down, but 9" wheels, 190kv and that ratio absolutely will not rip your shoes off. Itā€™ll be fineā€¦ But not a monster truck.
