That bill is kind of restrictive, board has to be less than 1000w total output and must go less than 20mph, my board is out. At least it is a step in the right direction.

How about these connectors? http://www.espritmodel.com/jeti-afc-anti-spark-connectors-5-5mm-150a.aspx

update on my board

I really like that idea. Unfortunately, I damaged a LiPo this weekend and it was a nasty experience. With that said, I would never ever want a LiPo or LiFe strapped to me during a crash.

I also love them, I think they are the easiest wheels to work with. What are you using to retain the sprocket? Looks like nothing, just a press fit part? PS they just put out some purple ones which look super saucy.

Try changing your stance on the board ie flip board around or stand on other side. One motor is probably doing more work because of the load. Also you can check the tension of the belts. Could be a bad solder, bad batteries, or countless other things. If you have a multi-meter you can test all...

You could use the one way bearings that others have used and you could implement a disc brake, which I've also seen on these forums. Then could put a thumb button on the controller which would switch it into braking mode that would be controlled by the same throttle mech (squeeze for brake). The...

I'm going to make something like this for my hand controller. It's basically a squeeze grip throttle and when you release the grip, full brake is applied (dead man switch). The LCD would display the voltage/amps/distance/ avg speed/ mpg stuff. I wouldn't put much brains into the controller it...

If you're worried about size then you could use an atmega328 TQFP, they are smaller than an attiny85 DIP.

Finished the upgrades on my trucks. Went with Khiro bushings and kingpin. Stainless steel for the mounting screws. Now just need to mount it all up and install electronics.

It's cool if you use the design. It seems that boosted boards is using a very similar design on their wheels and they even use orangatang wheels.

The surface of the material was a little slippery or oily and the edges of the printed parts tend to be rounded. PLA seems to be a little less petrol. I would recommend experimenting though.

My first test sprocket was printed with ABS. It was a little slippery so the belt skipped. I think PLA may work a little better but I haven't tried it yet.

I decided to use the same truck mount design for my new chain drive. While I wait for the welder to finish the other mount I went ahead and painted the ones I have. Stripped and sanded Green paint and primer Fluorescent Orange Painted

Looks like they only have 1 set screw, that's all mine have too.
