Lattice frame looks sweet.

Kepler said:My Beta build has had some progress. Been mainly working on getting the 18 FET controller internally mounted. Frame design makes it not so simple to attach the controller in such a way that the controller is properly heat sunk and also tucked up as high as possible.
This is what i came up with.
The frame will be matt black. With regards to side covers, I am thinking of powder coating gloss black and then an adhesive carbon fibre over the top with a 1cm gloss boarder.

Very Nice John, look forward to seeing how your heat sink frame technique work on this one. It worked great on Ole Blue. BTW, are you using Chainring aluminum fasteners for mounting your side covers? Edit, I also noticed the 4 piece side cover design. DId you do that or is it an update?

Thank Rod. I am actually in your neck of the woods at the moment. On a training course for the week at the Pan Pacific. Would be good to catch up for a beer.
Yes, I did this on my Fighter when I replaced it's subframe due to the previous one cracking.Lurkin said:Hmm, is anyone else using a gasket or similar between the seatpost base and the frame? I saw Allex used silicon to prevent moisture getting in there.. more concerned about the powdercoat on powdercoat/ scratching nice powder coat.....

Nice work John. Whats the orange tape round the BB area?

Nah it's probably more of a placebo effect, but I'll still take that. I also did it because I don't have 100% confidence in the replacement seatpost sub-frame holding up long term after the last one cracked. A tiny bit of cushion surely doesn't hurt to help prevent any stress inducing elements transferring to the subframe.
Cheers

If all he's after is protection between the 2 powder coated surfaces heat shrink could actually work. :lol: Although so could any plastic barrier for that matter.
Cheers
Believe it or not, I still haven't ridden the Beta. Its a roller, I can pedal it around, however, still waiting on lipos after 5 months. If I wouldn't have spent money already, I would have employed, someone to build me a battery out of 30Q cells for the Beta. Oh well.Kepler said:Spoilt for choice Rix. So have you have a favorite?
