Oh that makes sense. It would be cleaner looking too.

My resourcefulness (read laziness) continues to shine through in my ability to upcycle the old battery packs. Voila! Balance leads I only need to connect to 5S JST plugs, ring terminals already pre-crimped.

Nice setup, if you find a way to go 12s lemme know, I can donate this bms, I bought it in error maybe after a beer or 3.

I’m fact you should be able to go 10s on it regardless, consider it a donate item
Just hit me up for shipping if you’re interested, it’s brand new

Started stripping the board and repairing damage. My soldering skills seem to have been lacking before, thanks again to the forum for helpful tips read here and there about pre-tinning and pouring in the heat and solder on big connections I’ve improved.
The first two photos are before & after shots, then some more cable repairs before PVC wrapping them. I probably need to get a heat gun for shrinking PVC at some point, as I’m a little apprehensive about using a hairdryer for some reason.

Some of you might be on to me by now. Just need to mount those better now so they’re 100% secure, and finish my truck top plate to replace the temporary solution I’ve got currently.

Appreciate your concern, but I’m not done, and they will be wrapped still. Thanks for the link!
Cheers mate, going with routing them between the truck bolts using washers as vertical spacing and an Alu plate on top for protection.

Preliminary wire wrap and MT60’s hard mounted. 1mm clearance between wrapped wire and motor cans, had to secure motor wires with zip ties to ensure they don’t touch.

Just got these unfinished top plates cut for my trucks. One on the back to protect the wires and possibly one on the front for symmetry.
It’s Alu flat bar, measuring 100mm x 60mm x 6mm (L x W x H) and only cost $8. Now I just need to round the edges, drill some holes and give them a splash of paint.

This is the final electrical setup for now. I did a test ride last night, and on the board there’s no negatives being tethered to it.
Next I need to make a protective material cover for it, and make it easy to remove for days that I’m not esk8ing, so no zip ties.
My prototype bindings (not shown) needs adjustment and it was after 12am, so I didn’t change it and thus not riding today.
Also need to get used to the wired remote, as it has a lot of travel on the potentiometer and obviously feels quite different.
