Removing? I would just cut them off again
if youāre willing to cut them and re-solder any time you do work on the board, thatās your decision.
personally, I donāt like the idea of adding a whole soldering kit to my ride toolkit. itās extra and shouldnāt be needed.
if you have any concerns about maintenance whatsoever, permanent connections arenāt a good idea. you want as much to be able to be manipulated without tools as possible.
my ride toolkit for a thane board is literally just a bike multitool and a skate tool because all I need are a couple sizes of hex and a couple sockets to dismantle the entire board. this way I can open things up, unplug things, swap connectors and whatever all without needing a soldering kit or multimeter.
plus, if you end up needing to do a lot of electrical maintenance youāll spend more in solder than a high end set of plugs would ever cost.
Lol.
My goal is build and forget.
Thatās also my goal, reliability is design goal #1. So the things I suggest are ALWAYS going to be with that in mind.
Generally my build goals in order of importance:
- Reliability
- Repairability/Upgrade-ability
- Durability
@ShutterShock just curious, why a 3D printed enclosure for the Maker X? I have the DV6 pro and am almost done with my enclosure. Does protecting it within the enclosure offer some value?
The thing u see there is just a Stormcore 3D printed for comparison of size, and mounting in the real enclosure that Iām designing / working on
I used 5mm bullets with 3:1 heat shrink with glue inside on each phase wire. Pretty bombproof, nothing to wrong, and also not a huge pain in the ass if I need to disconnect a motor for some reason.
You gonna bother twisting the longer output wires?
Iād imagine itās inconsequential.
Nah i donāt twist them. I just tape them side by side against the pack
Do you need a parts to fix those trucks? I have an extra mid bushing part and unbent axles.
I got the package by the way, thanks
What deck is that?
I MISS IT SO MUCH FUCK
Nah dude, this shit keeps happening, these trucks are retired. Cheers tho
Probably @Adstars deck project.
Yo Adstars - will we see a custom bottom mount enclosure soon? Deck looks great btw
Yes, itās our cruiser deck, just showing the placement for the inserts, (worse job in DIY building in my opinion is inserting the inserts).
@Shadowfax the enclosures are in production now, will be taking pre-orders shortly
Wowwwwzaaaa
190-200 incoming. Pivot pin and bushing seats the same as the 250ās, but slightly thinner arms
What trucks are you running?
