Okay… it’s been awhile since I made a build thread, and my last two were never completed. Big F.
This will be my first build where I build the battery myself.
Goals.
*I want something I can ride all year round in PNW weather (it’s wet. Like really wet)
That means waterproofingand water resistant is extremely important. I’ll be poking @b264 for is secrets.
this ^^^
is part of the reason I went with a top Mount enclosure. Plus these first gen Eboard solution decks have an extremely thin enclosure that I would definitely brake and it would never fit a 12s10p of 30q let alone 40t.
*My fastest build yet was 39mph so that’s the minimum on this thing.
*eventually want 4wd. Eventually
because ^^^^
- I’m a bigger guy at 200lb
- I’m surrounded in every direction by multiple long steep Hills. There’s literally no avoiding them.
- I’ve ridden a lot of other people’s board’s. I know how different setups feel. Every 2-wheel drive board I’ve ridden leaves me wanting more.
- I’ve got a 10p battery, so why not lol
It will be 2wd at first, so who knows maybe I’ll be satisfied. Maybe.

so far
I haven’t done much yet.
First I put the board together so I could roll around my driveway.
Turns out my pro hubs had a slight QC issue.
But mbs was cool and sent another ( just not here yet)
So I’m rocking the plastic rockstars, kinda wanna hydro dip them.

Maybe after i get it running.
Then my motor’s showed up from Dex (48 hours after ordering! )
Realized there was a light clearance issue with the sharp edges on inside of motor mount and phase wires. So gave it a shave.
After realizing I’m not going to get oil slick motor mounts I decided to paint them to match the roses on the deck.
Then I got a file for mount bash guards from @EboardSolutions https://forum.esk8.news/uploads/short-url/cZxdMNwETHCML2WLyYrUfpiZQfh.STL
Fit first print, and tossed some reflective tape on there. Pretty happy with the outcome.
I also decided to print a puck puck Bruce Case for my remote.

I’m still learning with my printer but it came out pretty good.
I ultimately decided to ask @Venom121212 to print one just because I didn’t have the colors I wanted and I knew he would.
Next came testing all these cells. Opening 120 of these little box’s sucked lol
All good at 3.43
Next let’s glue those fuckers together
last thing i did that im not sure is gonna stay, i printed some sk3 motor fans/covers. i incressed the overall size by 10% and its a pretty good fit. i just dont know if they hurt or help the motors but i do like how they look. this was my first print. im gonna try changing some other things, not sure if theyll end up on the final version of this board.
