After a year of following this forum....I have 2 and 1/2 boards. 1st is 42 inch arc deck (dunelongboard).
6S 4400mAh @ 30-40C
Turnigy 6364 /215kv
HW 150a w/out fan
Home-enginered motor mount (welded steel onto shaft collar)
16/40 gears
XT all- terrain wheels (Soooo smooth!)
HK Quanum pistol grip TX (small...works great)
3 color led lighting setup w/ pwr switch
Dual speaker stereo (9v) for ipod

2nd is an Ehlers 40 inch level 1 drop. So much better on my feet.
Same set up but using
propdrive 50-60 270kv
18/30 gears on Orangotang 80mm wheels
light kit front and back..(eBay light kit controller- use a 9v battery not the lipo balance cause it'll unevenly draw from one cell)
Perfect carving board!
After trail and error, I've found that using wooden dowesl drilled/glued in angles are perfect anchor points for rubber bands to strap the batteries on. Did this with the ESC too.
Also, I sized rubber tubing (plumbing isle at home depot) and screwed lengths on the board to act as shock absorption for the electronics/lipos!

What device are you using to post here? iPad, android, PC, MAC, iOS, Linux, other?

If it's an iPad tablet, I can help. The iPad doesn't have a built in resizer, so you need to get an app that can resize to that 512k. I finally learned to do this after 3+ years here . I use "fit it free" but there are other options using the keyword "resize" in the search. Once you get the picture the right size, head over here for the "how to".

www.postimage.org allows you to resize. Copy the direct link and use the img tag to include the image.

thanks for the pictures. interesting way to mount everything. You glue anything more than the receiver and what kind of glue did you use? are vibrations an issue with electronics glued to a board?


Do you worry about the holes where the speakers fit? Maybe youre not bombing up or downhills like you could?

The motor mount was extensive trial/error. I bought aluminum plates....can't weld them and no one around seems to either. I hate cutting aluminum now. This one is a double steel bar welded over a shaft collar held on by a set screw. Would have bought a kit if I only ones.
Hot glue is the shit! Vibrations don't affect it if you score the wood slightly. Used it to attatch the led lights too. Guess I was going for less bulk.

That's a pretty sweet ride. I've never been much for things like ground effects, but got my hands on a reel of this LED strip lighting stuff(sealed, cut off the length you want then solder your connections, easy) and might play with it a bit if I get bored, it's kinda cool. Could you post a close up of your motor mounts? Hard to tell, but looks like something a little bit different/interesting. It looks like you have a truck drop through on the front, and then the driven one is mounted underneath, how does that handle?
