thank you bro. I think I may just buy new motors and seal the sensors. I hear good things about flipsky
i have their battle harden 6374 motors, been running few months only, but its great so far
their latest motor is also closed can, it should help to protect the sensor
Same, mine are running great, even though the cans are already pretty beat up
I’m switching to a bigger blacker box. I’m also adding a better charge port and one of @surfnacho 's heatsinks
The extra room will let me add 100W of 12V accessory power for lights and USB PD fast charging.
Woo. Looks great
I’ve made some changes so here’s an update
- The box is now modular and can be removed and put back without any tools or motor detection.
Also I added lights. I didn’t have a good way to route power to the front of the board without having some ugly exposed wire. So I did research and found this cool flat wire that goes under the grip tape no problem.
The lights are from LaCroix bought used. They’re hooked up to a 12v 120W buck in the board
new light set up is dope man nice work
Totally worth snatching these lights from under you lmao
I like it but I’m still butthurt I’ve been after them for a min
Can you link the 12v converter and the flat wire?
I think i’ll end up doing something similar to my board soon
The buck is a 60v-12v generic buck. Here is the flat wire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K859Z4F?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share.
Also, I replaced the spring+dampa combo with barrels from @Kaly
So bro.
I’m wanting to add that there same heat sink to that there same box…
Did cutting it suck?
I’m afraid it’s gonna suck.
What did you cut it with…
It’s not that bad with an angle grinder. If I had to do it again I’d use a jigsaw
UPDATE:
I have @Ace visiting this weekend so my main ride has to be in tip top shape!
-
Redo the expoxy on the @SabreDynamics wings. I think I had to do it multiple times because I’m bad at epoxy. Took me way too long to learn that I had to heat it up. Now they’re on really really good.
-
Redo the grip tape, easy
-
Change the rear tires , I’m really gonna miss my @XBoard tires Switching to evolve 7in for now.
-
Increased the pulley ratio for more torque
-
Make the lights look less like Mr. Krab’s eyes

Sir, that honda is clearly parking in a no parking zone. Please respect ADA-SK8 regulations. Diameter challenged vehicles are still vehicles.
I gave my roommate a ticket months ago and have yet to receive payment
