brain went into overdrive
Dude, you are a genius
Almost more smart than using pennies for washers since they are cheaper
Thank you sharing this. My bank is going to hate me soon.
“Yeah, I need 150 rolls of nickels”
Now you just became one of the weird people who hunt down rare coins still in circulation
Considering the melt/recycle value of a nickel coin is more than $0.05, I bet the bank would have raised eyebrows if you asked for that many anyway
Someone back in my country made his entire roof out of these:
About 416 of those equal 1 dollar currently, and they shine almost like gold when brand new

Or for those of us who already voted ( ) or don’t live in the US, let’s get some popcorn and see what happens
But yeah if you’re in the US and you haven’t voted, you have ZERO excuse not to. Go forth and do your duty
I’m just being a cheeky fuck - @Chricious them axles are gunna bend man I bent mine on 100mm boas after regular use. on magnums its inevitable.
300mm hanger + 50mm axles. So total width is 400mm. Same like MBS or Trampa.
You can check my build thread if you like.

Since I had a couple parts left I decided to start a fun project. The goal was to build a sexy carver with decent power and range, without being too heavy. So, I ordered a deck, enclosure, some cells and we put everything together. Parts Deck: Bustin Sportster Enclosure eBoosted MK2 with seal and bolt kit red Battery: 12S4P 21700 Molicel P42A 180A 16.8 Ah Trucks: Titan 7075 Aluminium 300mm TKP hanger with 42CrMo4 steel extended axles, HeXL 6061 Aluminium 35°/45° split angle TKP BPs, Ripti…

them axles are gunna bend man
I really don’t think so. They are similar strong as titanium.
8mm or 10mm axles? I’m guessing 8mm right?
are they tiller 260mm hexl’s? do you + a pack weigh more than 175lbs?
If so I have bad news for you:
Thanks Dave, I’d like to throw my hat in for some replacement or refunded parts as well. I bought two sets of HeXL 260’s they appear to be v2’s. One set is completely trashed. the other I just started running on an AT board so I think they’ll be fine.
I messaged you on IG and followed up with Chris over email but haven’t heard back (from chris after you directed me to him). Not as pressing as some of the others who have been waiting months but wanted to bring it up. bent up HeXL’s:
ninja edit -
read your build thread, so if these are not the hangers produced by this Chris at Abec for tiller you may be in fine shape and I’m sorry for bashing

Yeah no problem
We use different aluminum and different steel to make it bulletproof. But only time will tell

well brotha - you have a buyer if time does tell! I still have a set of hexl baseplates collecting dust that I would love to use!! seriously I’ll buy a set.
Hahaha thanks, I appreciate it, but they are not for sale, we are just prototyping.
Maybe some kind of TKP variation will come in future for the Titan boards, but there is noting scheduled yet.

I officially lost faith in humanity bc of this, esc enclosure is not yet fixed and enclosure is too big, WAYYYYY too big.
P.S. Yes the left motor is slightly crooked, yes it triggers me but i’ve spent too much time on it already and it’s the best I could do
Deep breath.
You got this. Take the time to do it right and you won’t be forced to do it again. It’s worth it.
Can your main enclosure house the esc too? Maybe in the lid?
