TorqueMonster | 12s4p 30q | Dual 6380 | TORQUE6 | More to come

Here is one of my works in progress. I plan to upgrade components as they become available but for now I’ve taken the best from @torqueboards and put it in one package.

The deck is the TB40. It’s really solid and had plenty of space for all the components. The black and carbon deck looks great with the blue CNC trucks and blue wheels.
The 6380s fit with a millimeter gap. They are connected to some beta Torque 6 ESCs that need a lot of miles put on them asap. I’ve connected a Metr Pro for logging and some cheap remote that I had laying around so I could ride right away. It’s all configured and ready to go but it’s been raining for two days. Soooooon it’ll go for a maiden voyage.



This is powered by a 12s4p 30Q battery built on PCB that I imagine will be available sometime soon? This was so nice to work with and really made the assembly process easy. Many thanks to @DerelictRobot for the hand-me-down spot welder!

Future plans?

  • I’ll drop in an OSRR when the next batch of PCBs are ready.
  • The BMS will likely be replaced with DieBieMS to start work on a mobile app project.
  • I gotta add lighting because if it has RGB it’s automatically better.
  • annnnnnd I might think about replacing my awesome enclosure if this pandemic allows Dexter to get his parts!

I’m sure I left all sorts of info out but feel free to ask or bash away :smirk:

This looks so awesome, especially with the new blue trucks and wheels. The deck is as awesome as I expected too.

It looks incredibly stable too

Looks like some more TB purchases are in my near future. How good is it?

I can not get over how good that blue looks against the carbon.

Blue and black is one of my favorites too, that’s what I originally went for on my board but TB didn’t have blue trucks and mounts back then lol. Tried to get a hummie… Well everyone knows how that worked out a while ago.

TB deck is probably my next purchase after a battery.

Yeah Dexter, where those enclosures at?

Like everyone else said, I love that color combo! I’m rebuilding my evo for the 110s and this makes me wanna buy matching trucks!

OMG so beautiful. How is the ground clearance?

Please program a light mode in your controller that specifically lights up the 4 wheels only. I wanna see those blue wheels strobing.

Thanks everyone! I’m surprised no one giving me shit for leaving rubber band as a temporary wire tie and being too lazy to paint/sharpie in the rear truck mounting area. Yall going easy on me? :wink:

The “enclosure” has about 70mm clearance and the rear truck being the lowest is about 35mm in the center

This. For sure would be so cool. Like bright white LEDs behind the wheels. Seems like a good application for 3d printing something, maybe a ring of LEDs attached to the hanger pointing at the wheels?

this looks so good

i think we need another GB for the DieBieMS. Seems to be a bit of an issue to find one these days

Wow that deck is sooooooo beautiful! :heart_eyes: @torqueboards when can we buy one?

This looks great. I will definitely be watching the progress here. Nicely done!

I love that battery PCB idea! Makes it look much cleaner and easier to assemble. The only downside is that it’s not flex friendly.
