This board has gone through enough changes that it’s officially not the original board anymore, so deserves its own new thread. Some of this board started life on Hercaleez but at this point the only remaining parts that carried over to this board are the Tomiboi enclosure and gear drives (for now).
This board is based on a @tomiboi Deathtoll deck, 43" au-natural finish. Beautiful deck. He got the flex just right for my not-so-poasty weight. Something between 8 and 50 layers of whatever enchanted trees he personally cuts down to make these. I had him install inserts in the deck because I originally swapped my DS segmented enclosure over from Hercaleez (with a 12s8p, Stormcore etc. in it). This was cool and worked fine. But I can’t leave shit alone. @rafaelinmissouri became the caring new owner of that excellent battery pack, and I decided to stubbornly build my own battery that shouldn’t fit the enclosure, but did.
I grabbed some Molicel P45B’s when they were on sale and grabbed some more pack building supplies from all corners of the internet. I took my time with it and even though it’s not perfect, I think it came out pretty good for someone that doesn’t do this on the regular. I had to come up with an oddball layout to get it to just fit, including using some 3D-printed jigs and such to hold the cells. If I were to do it over I’d maybe try something different, but I am good with it as-is. I’m not going to pull mega amps from it so it should be good in the hood.
I originally fit some SRB HD 3-links on this board and rode it that way this year. They are pretty killer, and I do like them a lot. I still needed to do some tuning on them, but I can see why they are so popular for racing and such. I talk to and annoy our dear @Ean.esk8 @ Newbee far too much and he let me know about the Triplelinks he was working on. Most (or all?) of the functionality of the 3-links, but with a dedicated hanger profile to install gear drives. Sweet! I’ll try them out and compare to SRB. Winner takes all.
I carried over my Newbee 4GS 55:11 drives to this board, and they will work out nicely for this setup. I ordered a new set of them as well to go on this drive so they are nice and fresh. I grabbed other bits and pieces along the way for this board, so I won’t bore you with stories on everything. I am hoping it’s a killer street board that I can try out at some local I2S events should we get some together (@jack.luis)!
Build sheet:
- Tomiboi Deathtoll 43" deck w/ DS segmented enclosure
- Tomiboi racheting toe clip (left only, because I’m cool and want everyone to know)
- 18s6p P45B w/ JBD smart BMS
- MakerX D100S V®E®S®C®®®® mounted to beefy @mackann heatsink
- @Skyart SKP 6485 151kv motors
- Newbee 4GS 55:11 gear drives
- Newbee Triplelinks trucks
- MBS Rockstar Pro wheels w/ Kenda K909 (for now). I love 200mm tires.
- @hoytskate Puck (Pro? when!?)
- Davega (vintage, I know what I got)
I haven’t named any of my boards, but I am deeming this one Zelda because of all the Links. I’ll update this as I go. Board is 95% complete, motors are coming tomorrow hopefully and with any luck I’ll get it to spin up next day. Same day a foot of snow is coming. Nice.
According to the Esk8 calculator I should have a max loaded speed around 41-42mph on this setup which is perfect. I want plenty of torque and comfortable 30’s for speed.
With the SRB trucks and Savage custom drive clamps. Also running an extender on the front. These are 175mm tires as well.
Designed and 3D-printed a shelf for the BMS to sit on above the ESC with some 3M Dual-lok. Bolts to the Bioboards heatsink. Gold because Zelda. Will probably throw some heat shrink around the BMS for extra security (thanks for the idea @monsterbuilder)
I love everything about this build 
) with some RTV sealant to make it a tiny closet to hide all my past skeletons. Not sure where the future ones will hide. For a charge port I’m running an XT60E-F panel mount with lil sealy door, 30A fuse in line on positive side.
seeing the purple blue and grey.
