Here’s a long overdue build thread.
This started as a while different board, been replacing parts for the passed 2 years. Deck is the final part of the old esk8 that’s being replaced.
Parts of Theseus:
[Space to add parts this esk8 had originally]
The internals as there are right now, post Theseus-ification:
- 12s4p Lishen LR2170LA
- LLT 20A BMS bypassed discharge
- Maker-X DV6 Pro
- VX2 (will eventually be an !Fancy by @thunkar
- XT90S for discharge and XT60 for charge port (GX16-3)
- foam.
- 5mm bullets for motors.
- a Switchblade 38/40 enclosure from the god of enclosures himself @eBoosted
- straight cut M1 gear drives 2.78:1 from the amazing @Boardnamics
- and his awesome 270mm trucks with 10mm shafts and adjustable baseplates in split angle (45/15)
Parts I still need to install:
- antispark switch or loopkey
- charge port fuse (have one on the way)
- buck converter for 24V on the discharge on the BMS (routed to XT60 on front of enclosure)
- TTL if I can fit it
- SF8 and MR60 connectors in a 3d printed mount for motor disconnection
- I’d like to bump this up to 5p or 6p but I think I might need to topmount my ESC/electronics and rethink my wiring for that to happen.
Just cleaning up the old gasket to install new waterproofing before proceeding with the holes.
New wood:
Issa switchblade 40 (pinecone)
Dang living less than 30 minutes from the LY factory is awesome.
Mapping the holes. Clamping it down. Had to pull the trucks out a little from their distance for the SB 38
Butyl tape:
For deck side sealing.
Marking and drilling pilot holes for threaded inserts.
Ugh threaded inserts fuck:
Trying tod have as little butyl spilling out as possible, things are tricky with the motors unable to disconnect from the enclosure currently:
Rubber sheet:
So deck is mounted… Backwards. Threaded inserts work well and don’t look bad. At least not showing through the top.
Waterproofing still leaves a lot to be desired. Might have to get some window seal or something. New plugs and printed mounts are also necessary for sealing.
