I have not been on my TRAMPA in over a year. The sand @ Va beach has too many soft spots(faceplant).So it has been collecting dust.... Now I know what
I'm going to make next.
I have been researching and they are bad a$$. But you have to get the good stuff
from the git go. $x$ would need 2x the batteries and to get a decent range it already takes a good amount. In the video he was just using a 5000mAh
LiPo for demo. With the double motors ,uphill 30% grade , no problem. And they are very torquey... LOL Is that even a word? WELDNGOD - 1-7-2016 at 04:45 PM
Just converted my old full suspension mtn bike to 1000 watt mid drive electric with 52v battery. Top speed just throttle on flats 28 mph. Can climb a
20 degree hill easily. Rode the bike more in last three weeks the. Since I bought 7 yrs ago. It's almost like an electric motorcycle downhill 42 mph.
Have tried some single track and it makes it super fun as long as I only use throttle to assist. Otherwise it is too hard on the trail but it sure is
nice to be able to climb a hill with out the risk of heart attack:D

That is cool.
Someone needs to take my money as well. i always tell myself I'm done buying toys, but then get sucked into buying some small item every month or so.
Skateboard stuff is hard to resist because it's almost free in comparison lol. Although in reality it's death by 1000 cuts. volock - 2-7-2016 at 12:22 PM

I believe you mean it's free extra deep exfoliation.FlyGuyFrank - 2-7-2016 at 03:47 PM
That's awesome. I fly model heli's - all 3S though. I'd love for you to post your motors, ESC and gearing choices and let us know what you think of
the build as a project, and your opinion on the electric mountainboard that results.
Keep us in the loop!WELDNGOD - 2-7-2016 at 07:07 PM
I'm looking at an E-Toxx mount kit, dual HW max6 160A ESCs, 2 enertion 6374 outrunner motors,and 8S lipo battery. This is a proven setup. I'm no RC
wizard ,so I'm going to go with something already tried and true.PHREERIDER - 2-7-2016 at 07:16 PM

nice!
WG , champion find! etoxx 8S here i come!FlyGuyFrank - 3-7-2016 at 04:50 AM
@WELDNGOD: Cool. One thing I noticed in the videos is that the batteries were in a case. I saw no evidence of ventilation. Maybe helicopters pull
more amps over a shorter period of time...but I can tell you there is a VERY SIGNIFICANT build up of heat that needs to be dissipated in the battery
pack. I saw that setup and my first reaction was "W-H-A-T ????????????????" I have a Tenergy four channel balanced charger...will have to check the
specs to see if it'll handle 8S.
If I were to buildsomething like this (for fun of the project) I would opt for a high torque low speed option since I'm older and have easy, direct
access to a hilly nature preserve with MILES of trails which I hike multiple times per week 3 seasons out of the year. Have never trudged through in
winter when there was snow on the ground ...but might try one day. Also, there's a schoolyard 1/4 mile away with a huge expanse of neatly maintained
open grass field for test purposes.WELDNGOD - 3-7-2016 at 06:26 AM
I understand the concern about heat ,but damaging the battery if left unprotected, is a bigger threat. I plan on using the new Turnigy Graphene
batteries ,they are supposed to make a lot less heat and have more lifetime cycles than regular LIPO. I'm sure I can make an enclosure that is vented
and protective. I should have named this thread how to turn a $700 ATB into a $2700 ATB... :o Brant - 3-7-2016 at 06:03 PM
