Hello everyone before I start the build log I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum. I have learned a lot from many of the threads here.
Now onto the build!
The plan is to get this bike going as a commuter for my daily trip to college(currently taking Machine tool technology) and as a general fun bike
The parts I will be using:
Nine Continent 2810 FH154 front 20"
http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=46408
Lyen 12Fet controller
http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=17683
4x 6S 5Ah Hobbyking lipo in 12s2p(48v10Ah)
The frame I will be starting with is a cheap Next BMX so the first line of business is to strip it and repaint the scratched and stickered paint job. A heatgun helps with sticker removal. I am curious if there are any better/different methods?
the pedals were a bit stubborn but with a little persuasion(otherwise known as a hammer) they came off :lol:
Frame stripped and ready for sanding.
Frame sanded with first coat of white.
The aluminum angle for the battery box arrived today so after some CAD(Cardboard Aided Design?) we have the general idea for the box
Thats all for now the next update should be up fairly soon.
Any thoughts/questions/comments welcome
