Yeah definitely don’t tape flashlights to the hangers. That would be a stupid idea that only a stupid person would consider

This is/was my concern as well. I designed those TB battery PCBs with Dexter and also helped Ernesto with his own flexpcb pack.
On the TB40 deck it’s pretty much a non-issue as there’s very little to no flex.
I had initial concerns about the flexpcb design holding up on the Kaly2.0 production board, as those decks flex a LOT, but I believe Ernesto has been testing that for a bit now. How are those holding up @Kaly?

Very cool design man 
I’m interested in seeing how the flexpcb is holding up asl well, going to be building a battery pack soon.

Pics or it didn’t happen!
I’m looking at it and the front is easy to do with these trucks. It’s square, untapered and there is plenty of space. The rear I’m thinking I’d have to attach something to the top side of the motor mounts and having it arch over only part of the wheel since either the ground or the belt with be in the way.

Thank you thank you.

Thanks! Not that ideas/designs are precious but this is a pretty commonly used design method with production batteries. Often it’s a PCB that runs along the side of the cells with a BMS on it. Kaly utilizes a modular method of using PCBs + BMS to create 12S3P packs connected in parallel- which is actually a practice I’ve seen more commonly in fixed wing UAVs than anything else- very cool.
I feel like battery construction is one of those areas we can pretty easily improve upon and make things a bit easier for people to DIY. Going to be one of my efforts this summer to get some options out there.

this looks amazing!
Do you think theres room down there for a 12s4p 21700 battery pack?

I don’t know for certain but the next time I open I can measure the space. Kinda thinking it has enough room since there is a gap on both sides of the current battery

Pretty good.
Is a solid double redundancy system and on the metal tabs was introduce a stress damper system perfect so far.
BTW
I got a cool hardware for you

Awesome build with awesome parts! Love the enclosure

Thank you! The enclosure is actually working out really well. I added a second layer of packing tape since I hit water along my routes and used some foam to stop crap from flying into the opening on the front side.
I’ve been taking this build out lately and it’s been a lot of fun. The free roll is ridiculous compared to what I’m used to with pneumatics and a higher gear ratio. Haven’t been able to work up the nerve to hit full speed since a hospital is the last place I wanna visit right now, even if they have good drugs. After the outbreak that’ll likely change

@torqueboards this would be a bitchin’ complete that could run with the big dogs for sure. Could even sell it like Prusa sells their i3 printer, where you can buy it as a kit or fully assembled for additional cost.
