Not sure when vescs got a bad rap for mountain boards. I've driven single drive trampa mountain board without any issues. Granted i doubled down on aluminum heatsinks

I found this to be a convinient way to quickly switch and recharge packs.

for practical purpose think kv# corresponds to the ideal rpm at which the motor is at its best. lower kv motors perform best at lower speeds. for gearing; Mountain-board wheels are generous with the amount of space you have for gear ratios of various sizes, there is bigger space restriction for...

I added a latch by riveting it on a small L bracket and attaching it to the front. there are two hinges in the back. The bottom is plywood. I really don't want to drill anymore holes in the deck then absolutely necessary, so I used the holes for the rear bindings to attach both the battery...

I didn't have an enclosure in mind and I wasn't keen on stinking up my home with carbon fiber raisin, so I tried my luck with building my own out of plastic. I had some scrap plastic from lids of containers and such and thought I could reshape it if I applied some heat.. sure enough it was...

I personally place more premium on the torque of motors. Maybe a more experienced user can chime in but i think 280kv motor might not hit its optimal performance with 6s lipos.

I totally agree. though I will say that after adding a small heat sinks to VESC I managed to get more torque out of it. Now, after doubling down on cooling and and attaching comically large heatsinks I can confirm that my VESC is almost as powerfull as my 6s hobbyking ESC up the hills!

most recent improvement is a new enclosure, graciously sent over by Puffin. Thanks dude this sleek new enclosure is probably as small as it gets for GTB based controllers. Honestly after haphazardly transplanting the controller guts 3 times into different controller husks im impressed that it...

Hi everyone I Just updated updated a few bits on my board and I thought I'd share:

That ESC cover is a great idea, especially with the potential air scoops. are the two buttons on the battery cover to toggle the battery indicators?

LOL yeah not the best example in the picture. As for weight distribution, I never even thought about 180 degrees flips. I guess I spend most of my time just trying to remain upright on the board. but hey maybe it can do better wheelies? :mrgreen:

I've been looking at many of the builds here for inspiration for quite some time. It seems that all the best Mountain boards builds have the same thing in common; their battery box is right in the middle of the board, top side. The list of advantages to this is probably long: Easy access...

As someone who made his mount from nothing but a small drill press, some files and a dremel tool, I can appreciate the professional job. Looks indistinguishable from a proper CNC job!
