WTF haha how??? It looks like the bell cracked and then the centripetal force ripped it apart

I wondered why no one has commented on that yet. I was tempted to post it here when he uploaded them.

Nice find Rosco.

In my misspent youth, I used to have ninja stars that resembled that.

City-Blade-101 · June 18, 2020, 1:55am

yeah hahahaha, that really looks like a shuriken.

This looks like a bug from the matrix! gross

Dammit this was the exact reference my drunk brain couldn’t make. Cheers to you.

More like I removed a tiny board tumor.

ShutterShock · June 18, 2020, 7:31am

Bro I knew there was something it reminded me of. That’s it for sure

Grozniy · June 18, 2020, 10:35am

How do you use them? You have to cut the nose all the way to the holes?

glyphiks · June 18, 2020, 10:40am

I need to round the inner edge. I could have had it modelled, but I’m impatient and like doing things myself

I will make a urethane riser between the deck and the bracket which will act as a dampener and a cable route.

Movation · June 18, 2020, 11:01am

Bro just buy another 44 demonseed you know you want to.

glyphiks · June 18, 2020, 11:02am

Already got 2. And they’re not easy to come by. You can rest assured that if I find another one I’ll probably buy it

Movation · June 18, 2020, 11:10am

Not if I find it first. I need another build this year like a second pen15 hole.

Current builds
1 Tubby 40% completed
2. Luminar 10% no deck yet
3. Puppy started today 30% Pink and girly it’s for my 6 year old (well that’s my story).

You have likely more on the go.

Halbj613 · June 18, 2020, 12:54pm

I think you added an extra 0 after 100 by mistake

@janpom
Cool idea! What use do you intend this for? I can see it being good for a charge port (xt90, barrel jack, whatever you’d use) but loop key? Are you also limiting current in the VESC settings? Wouldn’t want it to blow because you pulled a tad too much current while riding I would think.

Fosterqc · June 18, 2020, 4:57pm

@janpom how are you going to test it out safely?

janpom · June 18, 2020, 5:19pm

I actually do use the same kind of fuse for the charge port:

Why not? Fused loop key makes a lot of sense to me. If it blows, it’s easy to replace. When testing, I can carry another loop key in my pocket and not have to push home in case the test doesn’t work out as expected.

I have 50A current limit on each motor. I’m going to add 30A battery limit per VESC as well so that I don’t exceed 60A battery limit total, though I don’t really ever do.

60A for a few secs should be perfectly safe. There’s padding. Even at 2x rated current the fuse should take a few seconds to blow (according to the data sheet).

I’m thinking of putting on all my protective gear and doing some uphill runs with hard acceleration. Maybe carry the board downhill until I have enough confidence the fuses don’t blow under hard braking current.
