    63mm weld on motor mount

    This is actually generally untrue. Calibers are noticeably heavier than Paris trucks are when comparing similar axle lengths. Additionally they both come with similar axle lengths, the most common being 180mm. Paris actually offers more variety of axle lengths than Caliber does...

    Motorizing a existing truck

    I don't know that you would want to motorize a truck with that much range in motion. I think you'd lose the ability to ride it the way its designed, but I am interested in hearing about the results. I'd definitely go welded here, as it seems the only easy way to make the necessary geometry...

    Help getting started with a "non-standard" build.

    For alternative means of control I yield to others who may have more insight in to foot controls. Although I would opine that depending on your physical limitation the cruise control function on the nyko kama based remote may serve as a viable option. The ability to set speed and hold down one...

    Electric Skateboard on/off switch??

    I'm a big fan of the Vedder switch. I run 12s4p 10ah and the Vedder switch has been the most reliable i've tried.

    Why Chinese Cities Are Banning

    If you've ever been to China, this isn't really difficult to imagine. There are many transportation challenges in the major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai due to the congestion of the populations in these cities. More and more people are moving away from rural China in to these urban...

    Welded or Bolt-On Motor Mounts?

    It generally isn't the torque of the motors or anything like that which causes slippage for me, its the repetitive torque of impact with the ground from the board being skated. Riding off of curbs and over terrible downtown LA street conditions causes downward torque against the mounts which...

    Welded or Bolt-On Motor Mounts?

    I actually must be one of the rare few who belongs to another school of thought on this subject. I own a couple of bolt on options, including the very well designed and expertly manufactured units sold by Torqueboards. I prefer the welded option for the following reasons. 1. Strength and...

    What is the best reaction you have gotten from passerbys?

    I had a couple of police officers stop to admire it at LA Union Station. Im sure at first they feared I was some sort of terrorist with a bomb strapped to the bottom of a skateboard as they followed me oit of the station and peered over my shoulder. After they realized what it was they had...

    I have had a bad experience with OllinBoard

    Oh is this the part where you insinuate that due to my low post count that I must somehow be Chaka posting from a newly created account in order to drum up some sense of third party support? ... How predictable. I would advise you to try another tactic on that one. I'd ask the moderators to...

    I have had a bad experience with OllinBoard

    Extreme censorship? You're posting on a privately owned and operated message board on the internet. You dont have freedom of speech here. Ive said my piece. If the moderators of this board want to see their community dragged through the mud by allowing senseless and off-topic drama like...

    I have had a bad experience with OllinBoard

    He pulled the boards from his site right? And he did so while also making the following quote on this very thread.... What more do you need to know? What is it exactly that YOU think YOU are ENTITLED to? More explanation? Does the guy need to write out his memoirs for you? He got ahead of...

    I have had a bad experience with OllinBoard

    I may only have a few posts here, but I've read this site nearly daily for months now while planning my own build. I've currently got an order for VESC's with Chaka, and have purchased parts from Torque as well. I may not be the most active member of this community nor one of the big...

    6374 Keyway Machining

    Keyway bar is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks! I already have pulleys with 4mm keyways and grub screws in them. I just needed to locate the bar. My plan was to wrap the motor to protect it from debris, lock the shaft, secure the motor in a vice, and use a dremel to slowly take off...

    6374 Keyway Machining

    I have considered just doing a flat spot or a dimple for use with a grub screw. It just seems so much less secure than using a keyway. I'm just not sure where to get the metal key from.

    6374 Keyway Machining

    I am going to attempt a keyway machining for a turnigy 6374. For those who have done it what did you use for a key or keyway?

    Landyachtz TopSpeed 90mm 10S4P DualRearDrive

    Pony, what gauge wire are the balancing leads? I think i've decided against using the nickel strap entirely for my battery and will be utilizing tin plated copper braid soldered directly to the pack. I don't have access to a spot welder but I do own a high powered soldering gun (140w). I'm...

    Landyachtz TopSpeed 90mm 10S4P DualRearDrive

    Well you've inspired me. Building a 12s4p pack of my own from LG he2's and aiming for a similar form factor to yours. Now I just have to figure out how to charge it.

    Landyachtz TopSpeed 90mm 10S4P DualRearDrive

    Electrically, when you were welding the parallel cells together, did you weld nickel strap to both sides of the 4p cells or did you only do the inner sides? Is the parallel connection on the outer sides of each 4p cell completed through the same nickel strip that is also carrying the series...
