So I got a request for a matte black on black board..
10 km range 25 -30 kph max speed.. single plug charging..stealthy look, and low weight... suitable for a 155 lb user..
No sweat! $950 was agreed as a fair price..
I tried something a bit different here..
100 amp 4s ESC, 8 ah 25c batts, 83mm abec clones and a 17/42 gearing using sdpi htd5 15mm belts..standard welded motormounts, 42 inch board..10 inch trucks, NTM 5060 270 kv motor..
locktite up the wazoo.. and cell alarm when any cell goes under 3.1v.. xt60 on/off plug foolproof automatic 4s balance/charger. Electronics cover is made out of bent 20 caliber galvanized steel.All the parts are screwed on to the board, the cover is just for protection...
The board is cool, and obviously not fast but it did come out extremely stealthy... it is quite hard to notice anyhting under the board unless you are looking for it, more an effect of the matte black than any superthin compnents..The only dead give away is of course the Buck Rogers starblaster in my hand. To avoid this the cover is designed to hold th new Wiimote controller as soon as Austin has the pcbs in.... (better not be bigger than the current one or I'll be in hot water)
I suck at photograpghy, so the colors and shines are all off cause when I took pictures either with flash or something cause when I just took pics of the board nothing came out...
just a black surface with wheels
Took some this morning in bright sunlight that came out better...So on to the skateboard porn...

The look is superstealthy much more than any of my others.. the batteries are not thinner but matte black really downplays everything

The single plug charging is done using this simple balance/charger that charges and balances thorough the balance leads..

Just connect the power supply to the balance charger.. leave a set of balance leads out.. and there you go a simple one plug balance charger... Takes a while to charge though, about 3-3.5 hours for my 8000 ah 4s...

The board came out cool.. It currently has only 25 kms on it.. but it runs smoothly and nothing gets overly hot.. Definitly a fun cruising board. It will be complete once the wiimote has been installed and we can do without the Blaster... Will probably get another 75 kms within the next week just to see that everything is sturdy and trouble free.
Of course this proyect could not be complete without some irresponsible parenting... so here is my5 year old daughter giving it a test sit...
