landyachtz invader, VESC, single HUB, 8s

[tomtnt]

I originally used the VESC and lever's single HUB motor on a loaded dervish.. worked well and looked great but it was a too big and too similar to my boosted board. I wanted something shorter, more maneuverable, with a kicktail to bring places.

I used a flat lunchbox as the enclosure (saw someone else using it on here- works really well.) Was able to fit 2 x 4s/5000 - could probably fit more with better wire management... using with nunchuck soldered directly to contacts on the VESC - seems stable now.

Almost silent using FOC with newest VESC firmware.

The board is short and a bit unstable at >20 mph but is really fun, easy to turn and maneuver in crowds. also very light and easy to carry.

The lunch box looks really good. Great job!

Sweet! What's the weight of this little thing? Looks like you can turn the kingpin nut a bit more.

Sweet mini board!

I love my pocket rocket(still building)- small boards are perfect beach carvers.

Thanks! I just finished it today, and will weigh it up when I get home.

I have a build thread here as well:
