Once again I tried to mount the motor without welding….. And after try screws and epoxy I’ve come to the conclusion that you really need to weld the plate to the trucks. Someone suggested that I try the epoxy “JB weld” which is supposed to be a super strong epoxy (Check out some your tube …
My new receiver arrived and I’ve stuck it all together and taken it for a spin. I used the programming card to set for slow acceleration and only 50% total power. The acceleration was very smooth and it was much nicer to ride. I will however have to bump it up over 50% power as …
So for those keeping up know that after going to a long test ride I fried my HobbyKing Red Brick 125A ESC 🙁 I then purchase a new beefier 150A esc. At which point I realized the receiver was dead. I got the new ESC, wheels(cause I wanted to) and receiver. The new receiver just arrived and have spent a …
Still waiting for the new receiver but my abec 11 wheels arrived.

So it was sunny this weekend and I got out on my board. Good and bad. The stats are below. Turns out I broke it. After 3.8 km and plenty of battery juice left it just stopped. Something electrical is broken and I don’t know exactly what, just yet. The motor is beeping at me …
So took my board for a test ride yesterday afternoon. A couple of things of note: Top speed: got it to 12mph (20kph) at about 1/4 throttle I wasn’t game enough to take it past that. (I need a better GPS speed app than the one I downloaded). Basically the motor is a beast. This …
Thought i would put this one on its own page. Jacob’s just posted a video of his eboard. http://youtu.be/7Fwag5UReYI He bought one of the kits that beetbock is selling on the endless-sphere.com forums.

So I’m up and running. It turns out doing this the second time making a new motor mount etc was much faster than the first time round. It took me some tweaking of the belt tension today and making sure all 4 screws were in the motor mount but I’m up and moving fast. Actually …
