Hello dear builders!
Starting this thread here to keep a record of my works, to inspire, to encourage creativity and general all around screwing around with the esk8s!
I build completes, but lately have been focusing more on custom battery packs.
Below are some pictures of my work in the last 3-4 months
The Smorgarboard -
This was a Carver, real interesting experiment. Gen 1 kaly Drive on the back, MBS truck and hanger on the front. Had trampa barrels on the back and red mbs blocks on the front, it rode beautifully! Very stable, the battery was a 12s5p made of QB26800 cells. It was a hefty road going giant that would not quit. Longest ride I took on it was around 30 miles, probably had another 15 in the charge.
The Lazy Lightning -
Extremely happy with how this one turned out. 12s4p batteru made of 40t cells. Originally build with a flipsky dual mini vesc 6 variant, berg, and 170kv maytechs. @Abusfullofnuns is the owner of this beauty. This particular build i feel is perfect, biggest surprise factor with this one was the consistent 20 mile range on bergmeister All terrain wheels. I think i have also seen some logs from Tom, hitting around 42 mph. Glad it went ro such a great rider! @Tomswife…sorry.
The “I want to kill my nephew”
This is a very similar build to the lazy lightning. Biggest difference is the smaller battery pack 12s4p 30q and this one has 2 balance pro vescs. These particular vescs are almost identical copies of trampa vesc 6+ the board is running well, and my nephew is already having me build a 12s8p tesla pack for him, stay tuned!
The “What could have been”
This was such a sweet sweet build! Custum 12s9p pack made of 50e cells. The range is crazy! Longest ride i took on this one was 45 miles. Probbaly had another 5-10 I could have gone. No expense was spared on this build. 3Dservisas trucks and drives, stormcore, eventually swapped it for 2 TB vescs, 170kv motors 6380 motors. The board had so much room to stand on, very comfy on long rides. This board and the smorgasboard I tried 9" tires on. Let me just say, not a fan. 8" tires feel much better, better efficiency and the controllers don’t get as hot. The board desperately needs a heatsink or 4wd. All that range is good, but after 10 miles you can start feeling the controller thermal throttle you down. This partly due to the 1:4.2 gear ratio. Maybe would have less heating issues with 1:5 or 1:6, would have an easier time turning those 8" tires. Hope Brently gets alot of good use out of it.
The “Torque - Black”
This was such a fun build! 12s3p Molicel P42a cells, moon pulleys, my favorite TB6380 170kv motors, dual TB6 vescs, bergs. 40 mph build, 14 mile range. So quick! And sooooo light!!! There is deffinetly something to be said for lighter builds, portable, easy to grab and throw im the car, and enough range for a good ride. The TB6s are sitting on a heatsink too, have not been ae to thermal throttle this build, even riding like a maniac! New owner took delivery of this board today. Hope he loves it!
The “Plutonium Slayer”
This is by far my favorite build! 4wd on TB DD xls, dual Stormcore 60D, 12s8p molicel, on a good old Evo 40. Thanks to Alan at eboosted, this enclosure is juuust big enough to fit all that stuff in there! Weight in jusy shy of 50lbs, this is not only the most powerful build i have ever built, but also the heaviest. Would love to figure out a hande for it…its sooo heavy! Lol. Rides like a dream, quite as can be, and the acceleration is absolutely insane! Topping out at 43 mph, and it does that up some really steep hills too. Been able to pull some crazy amps from it too, according to davega 255 battery amps!!
I am available for complete commissions, and custom battery builds, PM for details.
Lots more cool stuff to come!
i’ve got strips of 9 wide for 18650s, still need to get some for 21700s
