DIY one I made earlier in the year. It’s carbon and fg. It’s super thin and light - more just like a cover, everything is fixed to the deck.

Vac bagged the enclosure in a female mould. Good learning with mould shape, where a few tight corners didn’t lay up very well.

do you have a thread about the external smart BMS yet?

I just want to know about how you hook up the leads of the battery/charger before the balance leads

Not yet, its on my work queue. Turns out that building batteries is easier than writing about them :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Notice how my binding is popped up every photo… Still waiting on a missing binding plate. Always the little things.

You sir, are the dollar waiting on the dime. Really frustrating but it’s gonna be so worth it. The combo of the oil slick trcks and your deck are on point. Looking forward to see you tear it up on that glorious machine

Just use a couple of washers until it arrives.

Definitely will be stealing the one off my other set of bindings if it gets to that point. Gotta run all the cabling today.

Very cool to see this kind of support for FreeSK8, but we’re not competing with esk8.news as much as creating a home for FreeSK8 and those who value the principles behind the open-source philosophy and the promise of next-gen PEV electronics.

Many donations here are to support the products/people here and make it known they want/support them.
I’m cashing out 100$/month to make sure the engineers feel appreciated in their work. Esk8news only sees 15 and that might drop now that I know it makes absolutely no difference whether I do it or not

Edit: just read myself. Sounds like I’m all nice and shit. Not entirely true, I also do it for freebies and discounts :upside_down_face:

Oooh I like that.

Got it all wired up perfectly just to fail motor detection and hand motor test. One phase wire committed seppuku and undid all my work. I could have sworn I heat shrunk it. And of course the beefy heat shrink I used was the one with glue inside :expressionless:

Lol automotive heatshrink is a bitch to take off. It’s what I used on phase wires for my bike. Those fuckers are never getting off
