I was afraid enclosure will be too flexible, but it turned out super rigid.
Highly recommend hard TPUs like Kexcelled TPU77D or CC3D 72D, impact resistance is amazing and it’s easy to print.
Molicell p45b 12s2p X 2
My custom 5 inch pneumatics with 3d printed rims.
Hardened noname 6354 motors with cooling turbines.
FSESC 6.7, I wanted to go with Spintend 100v100A lite, but decided to use them for another project.
I’ll try making a video tomorrow, didn’t have a chance to push it yet.
The deck feels great, shallower kicktail is more comfortable for my foot, normally short decks have 20-25 degree tails, this is 10 degree. Getting a slight issue with motor mounts hitting the deck because of that though. And previously I’ve used these wheels with 25mm risers, and now it has only 22mm. I might do a couple mm lift and grind some niches in the deck where the mounts hit.
Extended kicktail makes it super easy to manage the weight of the board.
And because of the bigger battery I can use way more amps compared to my previous board.
The deck feels great, probably best electric board feel I’ve ever experienced.
Didn’t mess with bushings settings, it just rips “out of the box”. Front - stock avenue bushings, back - 100a bushings from the DKP truck that I cut to match the avenue bushings height.
Motor mounts hitting the deck is not an issue when riding. I’ll keep riding at 22mm (+3mm TPU), don’t see the need for grinding motor niches.
No wheelbite so far. I’ve molded wheel wells into the deck, and additionally ground the well area deeper at the shaping step. Don’t want my board to look like it’s on stilts, like Onsra Challenger AT.
Forgot about the nose handle, it tries to rip your fingertips off if you try picking it by the nose.
The lower part of the enclosure is PETG, it cracked a bit on the edge cause it doesn’t conform to the concave close enough, and I didn’t account for deck flex (basically I cracked it deliberately while testing the flex jumping in the middle of the deck). Gonna reprint it with TPU 72D.
The front doesn’t deflect much side to side. Avenues suspension has very little travel as it is. But I think it still improves ride for shortboards or very rigid boards.
I suspect the back can flex quite a lot when you lift the front truck. I’ll probably make a video at some point, curious to see what it does.
Do you mean clearance? There’s plenty of clearance to do manuals. The belts and pneumatics have a lot of resistance, but it’s possible with a bit of throttle.
I can do wheelies on this thing at lower speeds.
It can go this far before motors touch the ground:
Ok, I’m gonna try filming my wheelie attempts and maybe try getting some air, once it gets dry again. I don’t have a ramp, I’ll look for speed bumps or some curbs.
The town look like this now:
I’ve looked at the code, it doesn’t look like it’s locked to 50HZ in any way.
It processes PWM input on hardware interrupts, as long as there’s more than 1ms between pulses:
But I could be wrong.
I’ve been running 100HZ PWM, it seems to work fine.
Yea, these are rollerblade tires, singles are too narrow. I got a puncture once and didn’t even notice it.
