I hate it. It takes up valuable ‘in progress’ board space. My sister moved out and didn’t wanna take it with her so I build my kingdom around it 
Problem now is that its gonna be too hard to ever get it out

I have something like that. My neighbor/friend wanted me to have his great grandfather’s old tool box.
It’s this huge wooden trunk with inserts for tools…it currently just holds various sanders and my vacuum bag and takes up space under my work bench.
I feel bad wanting to throw it away…it’s from the early 1900s I guess…

Sell it for monies
I’m having trouble getting this board out of my workshop.
The deck swap wasn’t just a deck swap. I needed to chop the new deck, extend the esc power wires, install new mounts, extend the standoffs from wheel hub to wheel pulley and now i need to extend the new fucking belts as well 
I was lazy and asked a friend to calculate the belt length with their own belt calculator they had made rather than just doing it myself. Turns out his belt calculator does bad maths

Dear Skatan,
Please forgive me for my blasphemy. She will be returned to her former glory soon enough. But a man’s gotta ride.

What did I miss? What happened with the front drives? Finally down after the crash a while back?

I mounted a gutter last weekend and I suspect the short length on the phase wires helped to damage the phase connections to the motor. Was getting weird shorts/drv errors and motor was trying to go in reverse
Just hope i didn’t damage the unity as well

Been procrastinating on this one for some time now. Double stack enclosure for landyachtz switchblade 40.
Will be building this one out completely with TBDDs, 12s7/8p p42a, conflict unity, balance charging.
Pretty sure with the depth of the enclosure that i’m gonna need to top mount, which breaks my heart a little bit, but I’m just doin what I’m told with this one.

Did a little more work on the ebike battery tonight, bms is nearly ready to hook up, just need to countersink all of it’s screws into it’s heatsink. This battery is gonna be suuuuper tight in it’s enclosure, and the screws are gonna push me over the edge
Like what’s the point of countersunk screws that aren’t countersunk!? Some people really need to sort out their shit.
Work also continued on the switchblade enclosure. Wax on, wax off.

The belts came 
This baby is all buttoned up and ready to fuck right off. Was nice to revisit it though and change the things about it that I wasn’t happy with for the first iteration.
And for the things that couldn’t be changed, thinking about how to do them next time.
I have moved to a standard 48hr loctite cure time these days so hopefully get a test ride in before delivering to owner on Thursday.

It’s interesting you mention the 48h loctite cure time. It’s something I’ve been checking out recently myself after an episode of my battery going flying off my board in the woods. Seems that if the hardware is stainless, then the loctite will only ever reach 25% effectiveness anyways - something I did not know.
The board is looking great, I wonder how long it will be until it’s back in the shop!? Tbf, if you can build a board that lasts with that guy riding you can do anything mate

Really!? I never knew that either! The mounts are all stainless hardware
Cheers bro, hopefully these new mounts stand up to his abuse a bit better than the Idea ones. I do have high hopes.

is that info available from loctite or something? that’s pretty interesting. and a reason to avoid stainless steel grub screws.

I like to pretend it’s self centering and eliminates slop, the countersink does it obv but is not required for the effect.
Might really do nothin idk
