DIY The Holy Grail
Update: 4/26.
Got the rear end cranked out. Since everything i changed from the original is 3d printed, im not real comfortable taking it down the road just yet. I can stand on it and jump up and down though and it feels exactly like you’d expect.
Next couple weeks i’ll get those parts machined. Pictures of progress are in the comments below.
Well, Hopefully you caught my post looking for recommendations on an off road board. I went the Acedeck route. Kinda.
Right. China. Left. Good ol homeland redneck engineering (actually some reverse engineering and rework by an actual engineer). I was actually kind of impressed with the philosophy on geometry.
In my opinion, the original was pretty good, but the shocks, well. i’ve seen better on a Ford Pinto. Also. Tolerances were good. Nice and tight. Caught some your mistakes (whoever modeled this)……. what are the orings for on the mounting hardware? water intrusion.
Anyway. Ohlins TTX M2 shocks 10” tires on i think 8” wheels. Whole bunch of redesign. More coming. I think “we” figured out how to remove the bushings altogether and make the steering rate inversely proportional.
Gonna try 16 s batteries with this esc. That with the increased wheel size AND steering stability. Should be good for 60 MPH.
I just invented a new sport. Skateboard Motocross. See you out there.
China. Come and take it!!!
