Hey i started my build with a 33“ earthwing miniglider cruiser board with 97” street wheels where i slapped a diy skateboard kit from china on.
It was like 10s5p battery + cheap case + 5055 170kv motors and cheap esc and cheap motormounts/trucks
Its long ago and i didn‘t do a lot of pictures.
So first thing on this set blew up was the esc so i went and changed to vesc 4.12 yay. First vesc.
Next what blew up where the motors i think this was the time when i decided to change. To that time there was someone on this forum who made a big sale and i got my hands on some stuff. Upgraded to:
- Loaded tesseract truncated
- diy 3d printed enclosure
- standart e caliber trucks
- 6355 170kv maytech motors
- enertion motor mounts
- 107mm abec wheels
- don‘t know the gearing
Basically a complete new deck.
I reinforced the enclosure with epoxy. And then put toghether all the upgrades
Not a lot pictures. Just this one of the reinforced enclosure black painted
I‘ve riden this setup a good time until the next esc blew up so got my hands on a focbox unity + heatsink + metr, bought some flipsky 6374 190kv motors because the old ones seemed to have an issue too, some new mounts and new pinions (i think gear ratio was 42/14) bought some cloudwheels, roger bro footstops, shredlights and a new battery by @Acido …change went great. That was by far my favorite setup to this day
I think sometime between the last change and the pictures i bought some new @Boardnamics 220 hangars
This was my setup until last year. It was a fun time everytime i ride this deck, but everytime i rode i got a little scared because i got better and liled it ro go fast, and the faster i went the more speed whobble came.
Solution: buy new stuff
First things first longer deck more wheelbase. I was hopping to get my hands on a switchblade 38“ but couldn’t get a cheap one so i found this earhwing double trouble 38“. It almost has the same shape as the switchblade
Next step was to build a new enclosure. As before i didn‘t made a lot pics of the building process but i just made it oit of fibreglass and epoxy and then painted it black. Mounted the focbox and ready it was
On another day i ordered the new drivetrain + wheels
270 bn hanger + adjustable baseplates
Bn M1-AT geardrive 5/2 & 4/6 ratio (used 4/6)
Bn gt3 hubs
Bkb 6“ tires
Here is everthing put together with the old battery from acido
Unfortunately this nice battery pack from acido was dying, so I decided to build a new battery, this time with nese (already thought about it when i built the enclosure) thats 12s4p molicel p42a
I build it with cnlinko adabter and bought 1 10a charger (way to big) and then 1 4a charger
Thats the build so far:
I run this setup for about a year now. And i really love it.
A year without big troubles.
Now my on/off switch on my unity broke. I don’t really need it becaue i have a loop key and “roll to start”
So no big issue, but unfortunately it could be a little bit beefier…so i bought some @Skyart 6485 motors + skp single esc dual+ metr
And as I was clicking around, I decided to go with bn straight cuts for my geardrive and ordered a set + both ratios (5/20, 3/80)
One of my bolts of the motorplate of the geardrive also broke and it got stuck. So ordered a new one.
Now I’m waiting for the parts.
Maybe i will do some pictures of the soldering whats to come and the “put together” of the new parts if anyone is interested.
Thanks for reading guys
