Hope yours lasts
Should have done that, but I would need to go 10S4P, and the range in the 10S5P isn’t enough already

I won’t be doing any major off roading and will be skipping all curb hops haha
Yeah, I think i’m the only one who managed to crack, a lot of off road, but always slow, no jumps, never jumped curbs, but again, the roads are bad here
Where is the crack? I don’t see it? I just see some tiny edge defects. Is there delamination or crack that run into the deck?
Post 16, they are deep, almost across the whole thickness of the deck at the rear, the front ones are smaller, fortunately they aren’t getting bigger, superglue did the trick
Gotcha. I think they are cosmetic problem. I wouldn’t worry about it.
That’s what I’m hoping for as I continue to ride
New pulleys and general maintenance that was long overdue, board has been flawless apart of belt skipping due to really worn out wheel pulley
Also one of the wheels always made a clicking noise, I suspect it was the bearings inside the 3D printed pulley that never gets the right tolerance, but this time I used a high temperature rubber superglue to lock it in place, let’s see if it solves
The cracked Hummie deck has been holding fine. To be sure I chiseled the external superglue layer that I’ve used to repair and was surprised to see that neither crack has opened again
The enclosure has a few more cracks that I put superglue from time to time
Also this time I’m using the pulleys just as press fit, without the retaining screws, this rubber superglue holds way better to the smooth steel of the pins
Supergluing the bearings worked, back to a silent ride
As a last ride on this board I decided to do a range test, details bellow, farewell my friend
Photo dump
What grip-tape do you use? Idk how or why but it looks super good on the board; thinking I might just do that instead of glass fritting my Neo
I really like it, looks like glass fritt with black epoxy
Unfortunately it’s sold here with no brand, it’s cheap and comes as a roll instead of individual sheets
Don’t know it this helps
What’s happening? Gonna miss that board.
Need the parts for the mountainboard unfortunately, VESC’s, battery and motors
Hopefully will rebuild it one day if I move to a place it makes sense, 110mm wheels, direct drive and maybe double stack battery for insane range, that was the initial plan
We had our builds going roughly at the same time, so I feel like I’m losing a brother.
Don’t say that, will always be brothers
Realistically, if I just want to cruise around the neighborhood, I could put something together with the amounts of spare parts I have, only battery that is lacking, I have a old 10S3P made from NCR18650B, not capable of much current, but doable, would have to rebuild it, and last time I looked one of the cells appeared to be a bit rusted, it’s been sitting on a shelve for more than two years
First it was a 6S4P, and after that with a few new cells, a 10S3P
Now to the nerve wracking part of removing the battery that is pretty well glued without starting a fire or damaging the cells
Time to bring this board back since I miss riding on thane
Jus putting together whatever left over parts I have, it will be a funny combination of parts. Weak 10S3P made of NCR GA with more cycles than I know to count? Check. Aliexpress 6355 motors that cost $25 each? Check. Titanium motor pulleys? Check. StormCore 100D? Check
This is at least for now. Nice thing is that with the StormCore, the Hummie deck should fit 10S5P of 2170 cells with barely any room to spare for wiring, a receiver and a FlexiBMS, this with my slightly routed deck. With Samsung 50E this mean 875 Wh and 70 to 100 km range, double stacking make it even more appealing
First step is to make yet another revision of my press fit 3D printed pulleys. The failure of the previous revisions is that the steel pins doesn’t glue well to the ABS and it end up sliding and touching the mounts. To remedy that I did a few grooves for the glue to to hold on and will do somthing similar on the pins with a Dremel
Love this build so many cool updates
Good idea with the grooves, make sure you also open up the surfaces with some sandpaper
Modeling those groves is CAD magic though well done
