Back story.
My beautiful wife is a primary school teacher and every year they have a “Wheely big day”(only a teacher could come up with that name)
Everyone brings wheeled transport or indeed anything with wheels for the kiddies to check out. Big thing on her school teacher calendar apparently but as most of the time I’m not listening this was the first I’d heard of it.
Fast forward to very recently
Wife approaches while I am engrossed in building out my new board and casually asks
“What are you doing?”
I of course reply with the old faithful
“Just rebuilding this old board I have had for ages dear.” 
“Is that the one you’re building for my Wheely big day?” Wtf???
“Of course it is my darling, I wanted it to be a surprise.” 
“Is that why you’ve been hiding all those packages?” I was so sneaky, she was sneakier
“yes baby” I’m going to hell
So instead of my 12s 4p 30T fire breathing animal, I now have to come up with something kid friendly. Karmas a bitch
Parts bin raid
2 Hobbyking 4.12’s and an enertion 10s4p 30q raptor 2 pack. (refurbished) My fucking arse it was. Another story…
Cracked out the build in record time.
Up the skirt shot. Looking good so far.
Finished article all charged up and ready to go with some nice kid friendly settings
This happened, vent city;
And this;
Bit of a chicken and the egg thing going on here. Not sure whether the vesc killed the battery or the shitty battery killed the vesc. Vesc was practically brand new and the battery was made by enertion so you draw your own conclusions. What I will say is if you have need to ever examine an enertion battery then you will be as shocked as me that more raptors don’t go up in flames.
Parts bin raid 2nd attempt
Test bench 10s 3p battery that sits on my bench like a power supply and does its job in a stellar manner is called into the mix and 2 canbus fucked focboxes get a recall.
Whip the bms off the flaming turd of an enertion mess and chuck it on the 10s3p.
Charge port and we are good to go brothers. Dog is not impressed apparently
Its alive. Its slow and steady but it will be working fine when she needs it and that is all that matters.
Happy wife happy life.
Words to live by.
Stay tuned because it will get the necessary 12s4p 30T and be something completely different.
