My first ever Street Carver build in 2018 was a beautiful marriage of the Prototipo & a 4:1 original Kaly straight gear. My biggest complaint was my soggy ass 10s6p 30q pack that I tortured until death.
I did not build this board, which is a first for me!
@Benjamin was kind enough to take on this project and completely knocked it out of the park. I’ll let him chime in below and share some juicy battery/build pictures if he so pleases.
My impatient ass demanded he rush the final detail steps so some cabling management on the phase & sensor wires is still due, but maiden voyage is happening in the next hour. I’ll let you guys know how it goes.
This thing was quite a squeeze to fit a 12s5p 40T, a Unity and a Daly BMS in this enclosure, but somehow I managed The DRI PCB’s made this battery build as clean as it can be.
This very small initial pre-production run of these new Hoyt motors were drilled and tapped by hand by the Hoyt boys to fit a 44mm mounting pattern.
The amount of effort they are putting in to make sure they have a rock solid product and to assure that their testers can use them to their fullest is truly amazing, and something to be respected.
To give you an idea of how awesome they are, when an issue with mouting the motors came up, Pete from Hoyt literally drove to my house, picked up the motors, drilled and tapped them by hand himself, and had them back to me that same day, working perfectly. The mounting holes being clocked slightly differently from each other is trivial.
This will, of course, not be an issue in the production motors.
@PixelatedPolyurethan I know you were just joshing bro I just think this is valuable info for everyone to see how awesome of a company Hoyt St. is!
damn this is the setup i want for my proto! Was this a DIY enclosure or from a stock board? My worry is the existing power and charge ports on the enclosure…not sure if the 12s5p setup will work with the existing holes.
I should clarify- stock but came without holes pre-drilled so we had the option of moving the charge port/button wherever. It’s a smaller 5.5/2.1mm jack until it gets replaced with an LP16
haha all good. That’s some quality customer service regardless if you knew each other. I give my full respect to them, that’s just wholesome to see such passion
