Hi, I would be interested in replicating your caster setup. Would you be willing to share the CAD files with me?
After cooking my BMS I also cooked my stock ESC, so my board is getting an electronics rebuild now with a makerx DV4S and a 12S3P 40T pack in a pelicase
Hi Friends,
Sorry to throw in a newb question. Iām on a mission to make my normal board ( not summerboard) as snowboard feeling as possible.
Is the summer board that much better to a normal mountainboard tuned as much as possible to feel like a snowboard? whatās the pros and cons? howās maintenance? It feels a bit like a bit of a monopoly in an already small community which means unless very handy/ experienced, will have to rely on overpriced items.
Cheers,
I mean maybe riding mountain board with lots of power in loose dirt/sand/slippery grass can feel close to Snowboard carving.
The Summerboard allows tricks that just arenāt possible on other brands. More work keeping the board in good working order.
Hi Dinnye! DM me, weāll make it happen! 
Thank you! I will send you a DM later today 
I only ride onewheels and (e-) freeboardsā¦ the way you use your edgewheels for carving, the ability to spin 360ās, ride switch and overslide trough turns effortless is a unique riding experience that other type of skateboards just donāt haveā¦ the skills you get with a summerboard translates directly to getting better at snowboarding. From my snowboarding friends Iām the only one that has a summerboard and when we go out I can go on for days without pain because Iāve trained a lot with the SBX.
Wow!!! Thatās great. Unfortunately the model is not really fit for printing in a decent orientation though. I asked him for a .step file lets see if he shares that too. Would be really cool!
I also tried Solidworksā mesh to solid converter and that just crashed out the software 
And Fusion threw an error too in the āusableā conversion type. I can make a solid by converting each triangle into a face, but then the software runs out of computation time for many features and keeps throwing errors
edit: aaron just said print it with supports and itās gonna be fine, accuracy / decent finish is not needed there
Finally resurrected. Now it has a 12S3P 40T pack, and a flipsky dual vesc. I originally planned a DV4S but I decided to save that for another build.
I just need to setup the vescs and fix my vx1 potentiometer. The VX1 is going to get swapped out for a GT2E really soon, but as my main board is also broken down I donāt want to wait more before riding this thing
Also the caster is still held together by superglue. Iāll eventually get to printing a replacement from the stl.
Iāll get back on this thing tomorrow
Hi, for the āTVS diodes blowingā, basically, it maybe due to some circuit trace shorted, some critical components in this loop failed, or some TVS diodes is a fake component. Maybe you can get help for some hadware repair and debug services, Keep discussing.
Can someone tell me how to bypass the bms v1 sbx so I can use the board?

Iām based in the UK 
, so I already have zero support when it comes to the Summerboard. When I first got the board, I had an issue where it would turn on once, then the light would go off and only come back on when the charger was plugged in. Long story short, there was no way for me to ship the battery out to be flashed, so I ended up buying a replacement from Voltes.
Since I donāt always have time to board, it was stored away for a few months. The same thing happened againāthe battery was dead 
.
I was offered a refresh kit, but unfortunately, I wasnāt financially ready to spend more money. So, I looked for an alternative. Iām a bit surprised there arenāt many posts about fixes or repairs.
I did a bit of research, and the esk8 forum was useful, but it mostly focused on heavily modifying the board, which is great but not the route I was ready to take. I just wanted the board to work.
I saw a couple of people doing a bypass on the V1 battery, which got me wondering if I could do the same. The results? I did it! I ripped out the circuits inside the battery and wired the existing battery directly to the connection, similar to the Lipo battery mod image that should be floating around.
Before making the modification, I used a multimeter on the gold pins and confirmed 22.8V on both sides, so I knew the battery was fine.
Results: I donāt have a power switch nor the LED working, but Iām fine with this. The next thing I will do is add a voltmeter and temperature sensor and see how it goes.
Remember, proceed at your own risk, and ensure you understand the potential dangers involved.
Stay safe!
Was your battery secured in place? I noticed the battery bouncing around not seeing any glue used to hold it in place. I added dense foam bumpers and some hot glue to hold it better.
I think since you have two 6S packs you could try this for some added safety:
You still need a balance charging BMS.
@Battery_Mooch does this new BMS look dead reliable to you? Their V2 Mobo is doing much better than there V1 mobo but still since I keep a hawk-like watch on issue reports I know of 6-10 V2 mobos that are broken out of the hundreds riding right now.
Just no way to know from just a photo. No spectacularly silly things jumping out at me though. But that doesnāt mean much.
Thereās heating, immunity to electrical interference, voltage spike tolerance, firmware operation, all things that need testing in use.
No more funky fuse and battery wires running around getting pinched is great. Not to mention the hall effect switch and other v1 sbx bms oddities.
reminds me of a boosted board battery.
Summerboard 2 is out, looks fresh! They did a good job on it. Should have come out 2 years ago when I bought my first board 
My take on the new slipring system:
. What I like about that is more balanced wheels (probably also helps against chatter). Compared using a system with the pulley outside the bracket youāll automaticly get an unbalance by using key or d-shaft system and screws.I might come up with some new thoughts but for now Iām enthusiastic about their new board and think this is finally the product that customers always deserved and justifies the pricepoint on which it sells.
I am curious if the caster wheel is actually the same as the V3 freshie.
Could even have made this new center work on gravity freebords if they wanted.
Yeah I think it is the same thane and a core with standard 22mm skate bearings, could use it in the mp1 caster then I guess 
I am still waiting for the awd summerboard. Maybe this is the right application for the insane cable driven system idea. Do you make the cable to wheel connection direct drive with a custom hanger or make a gearbox and standard trucks/axles idkā¦
