A clean and tasty Evo like this is so appealing to me. Might have to put one together one of these days.

Thought it was chunks of similar diameter/length barked wood, thrown through a table saw to g er t the knots out(which caused the odd ovals on the side).
Probably to be bound up in a round, epoxy poured, then lathe turned into bowls or something.

I over thunk it :laughing:

If so, do I win a prize?

No it was 1000 cells. You can have some if you want for consolation prize.

You maintain an admirable level of dickishness at all times. I could learn from you.

Well shit, may have to hit you up on that. How are they testing out?
Shit, I still think you’re fucking with me lol.

Many years of disappointment to get where I’m at now.

Cells are testing well. Only like 100 maybe 200 were bad.

I’m not a huge guy, but I am 6,2, so the board is somewhat small for me, in general as a build it’s great, really light, great rolling, should be watertight. Running 10s2p 30q pack, at 15 battery amps only, so really interested to see the capable range.

@Lobap love the look. What did you use as griptape? Is it a spray one?

2 Likes

It’s Raptor bedliner on first layers (and the enclosure, black colour) then 2 layers of texturized spray (grey/anthracite) for fences :laughing:

I still have to glassfrit the top but I guess it will be quite stealth due to the rugosity of the surface as it is now.

Edit: please God forgive me for using something that contains Raptor on its name again

Ahahah
Nice I used similar product for a integrated deck as well. It’s a nice sturdy coat. The combination with the raw truck is crazy good.
What drive train are you gonna use?

Yep i also added a 6mm neoprene stripe just before spraying the Raptor so it looks like integrated with the deck + 5mm regular neoprene gasket (which will get compressed when bolted so it won’t be 11mm, more like 7-8mm). I need to raise the enclosure as a brand new 10s3p with fat p42a cells is coming from @pjotr47

For the drivetrain I’m also waiting for @3DServisas v5 urethane helical in raw, of course :heart_eyes:

Don’t forget your Hammock baseplates are also there :love_you_gesture:

Edit: Shit the colours seem the same depending on light but deck + heatsink are anthracite and the enclosure is black.

Great plan. I really like it. Looks super high quality.

It doesn’t look like your axle nut is fully engaged. Careful you don’t lose a wheel while riding

is the case for the gear drive only 4mm off the ground?

i have been wanting to try the BN gears, but have not opened my heart to the idea of using them with Caguamas as i was worried about clearance.
