This is a sort of random stuff from my Trampa build.
The board was purchased as a complete from Trampa, I made the battery for it and at some point changed the motors and then lately switched to gear drive.
Board is here, batteries just came in, the spot welder is lost somewhere in the German post system and a second one is on the way, BMS is on the way from the USA
The vendor that I ordered the fishpaper and such as usual has not shipped anything yet .
My RC heli batteries don’t fit in the monster box so I tried the board with only a pair of 6s 5000mAh. As you can imagine I just got a feel for it since I did not want to damage them.
The things I do for love (errr, esk8 )
I did not have a big 3s battery for the spot welder, so I had two options:
Connect in parallel my 5pcs 3S 1300mAh batteries or repurpose a 6S 5000mAh that had one dead cell.
You would not believe what gave me grief. The freaking heat shrink.
Nkon did not have the size i wanted in stock so I got a huge one that tried to make it work.
It did after 2 failed attempts and my OCD compels me to change it at the first opportunity.
Now that is see all that empty space I think I should have gone for a 12s8p or 9p.
I have been missing the concave on that board so I thought I should try one of those add on solutions and see what happens.
I printed some of these pads. I was out of PETG so I figured I would try PLA and see what happens. Since they are thin, they are flexible enough so mission accomplished.
Since these would be used on a MTB with bindings I did a few modifications.
Yes I am lazy and have too many tools. Grinding them down was a lot faster than designing them again. Did you know that PLA smells like coffee on the belt grinder?
I did not want to epoxy them on the deck so I figured I would use 3M VHB tape. This thing is strong enough to do the job and I required can be taken off without leaving a mess.
Oh boy. Bar has been set. Weather looks good and short day at work. If I don’t post anything for a few hours it’s because I got instantly famous and definitely not that I wrecked myself.
Dammit Justin, I should have had a camera with me this Sunday.
I did a wicked high jump off a natural dirt ramp at the side of the road to enter a trail in front of some mountain bikers.
It was a good thing I landed it with poise and kept on riding.
and a second one is on the way, BMS is on the way from the USA

I think it’s because they’re hosted externally.
