Righto, back to DIY shenanigans…
My current Brozinga iteration had been working pretty well for the past year. It did everything I needed it to do but it wasn’t really great at anything, aside from being a cable Cthulhu jumble mess (@Egtscs 
). Decided on doing a purpose build DIY, and since I mostly ride street I decided on a bottom enclosure build.
Goals:
- 4WD. Braking feel too good, can’t go back to 2wd.
- Have decent range. My previous 21s6p P45b pack only gets about 26-28 miles.
- Looks good enough to hopefully qualify for BOTY contest.
Part list:
Deck
Was debating on a Tomiboi Odachi V2, but @rafaelinmissouri build peeked my interest on a RE44 deck. Plan was to order a red/black RE44 but remembered that @SquishyCat potentially had a RE44 deck sitting around. I hit him up and ended up getting it for a pretty good deal. Had him sent it to @tomiboi for a frit job. Couple weeks later, it came in looking pretty nice.
Side by side with Brozinga.
It’s a long boi.
Trucks
What else other than @Titoxd1000 Duality trucks. Got the raw 240mm flat deck version, 12mm axle.
Drive train and internals
Most of these were transfered from Brozinga.
- @IDEA motor mounts.
- SKP/Radium 6485 151kv and SKP 6465 150kv.
- Mboard 8in Novas
- 14/67T Stooge spur gears
- D100s x 2
- Minnie
- Ordered a set of white Hubba hubs and a puck receiver.
Got myself a micro USB extension with panel mount so I don’t have to open up the board when I need access to the controller. Thx @tuckjohn for the idea.
Remote
Got me a Puck 2.0 from @ARCTIC. Throttle response felt so good compares to the OG puck, but brakes felt a bit too soft. Could be due to throttle being calibrated weird on the puck shell vs Poastmote. Downloaded the Poastmote files for the Puck 2.0 and had a friend of mine model the back half of the shell for better ergonomics.
Battery
My previous 21s6p P45b pack wasn’t perform as well as I thought. @Pecos thought it was sagging a lot cause I was running 4wd even though my power draw wasn’t that high and I’m very lightweight. Around the same time tabless cells were catching on pretty fast with the EVE and BAK45d cells. I ended up ordered the Reliance RS50 cells as soon they’re available. @Pecos tests on the BAK45d cells got my hopes high for the RS50 cells. Him and I discussed on how much battery do I wanna fit inside the enclosure, I said Yes. We went with a 20s5p configuration, that will leave enough room in both the front and rear for the BMS and 2 D100s, the BMS will be sitting underneath the front controller.
Gotta love that stock charging.
Check out what @Pecos made to test charge 2000w…
I can’t…
Build time!
Mmmmm. Pretty.
Drill some holes.
Insert my… inserts.
Done.
Test mount stuffs.
Enclosure time.
Got my white stuff (silicone) in there.
Homage to the bois.
Battery seated. Mounted the power switch, charge port and micro USB port.
Installed everything else. Used velcro to keep Minnie GPS module and Puck receiver in place.
Zip tie the power connector together and job’s done. She’s tight in there.
Binding time! Found out that my stance is similar to @Ash, just mirrored.
Not bad for first time? Sealed it all up with silicone and it’s done.
All mounted and ready.
Detection time!
I’m bout to bust.
Wheels mounted and done!
Thx @BenjaminF. Don’t worry, I have that special plate coming soon. :>
Photo dump:
Shout out to @Titoxd1000 for answering tons of questions and especially @Pecos for helping me along the way with this build. It came out way better than I thought. Now I have to wait till the next dry day for a test ride…
still blows my mind you got it all in with the normal gasket - and your ground clearance worked out so good
