You should sell your car(s)

Wait, did you put glass frit on top of an existing grip-tape? That looks so good! :heart_eyes: Is that real carbon fiber on the sides? Iā€™m guessing you first applied that, and then hid the edges under the griptape?

Never.

To be fairā€¦ if I was to acquire a carbon gtr deck at zero costā€¦ iā€™d probably build it out. But those dkp trucks can go fuck themselves.

Although i think it would be interesting to try dkp front truck with rkp rear.

Yep DKP is a prick at 50km/h + I have my DD dialed in but itā€™s still unstable at top speed

The DCDC converter is a timely topic for me.I am thinking of using a DCDC converter for USB charging. However, this DCDC converter has standby power and gradually consumes the battery.
As a measure I think, I am considering BMS with a switch, XT90S anti-spark, etc.
Do you know how to cut standby power when not using DCDC converter?

I didnā€™t look into this as mine will be only connected if needed.
If I would use it in an enclosure I would probably just use a flip switch or something similar on the wires from battery to the dcdc converter. Depending on how clean you want to have it a loopkey or just xt30 connector might do the job for you too.
If you use only 5v usb charge as load than there shouldnā€™t run much current through the switch anyway.
Letā€™s say 5Vx2A=10W
Ok, lets take even 20W as load, means 20W/50V= 0,4A from the battery to the converter.

Iā€™m assuming a maximum of 70W, so it will be 1.4A at 70W/50V based on your calculations.
I will consider a suitable switch. Thank you very much!

that watermelon though

Simply put a switch on the line between the DC converter and itā€™s power source. I used an automotive switch for extra swag
