The Fury Electric Longboard

thingiverse

This is a work in progress so I expect to update this a few more times in the future. Update: I will post pictures of the finished board and report on its performance this week ( ~Aug 19) I've been wanting to upgrade my longboard for a while so here it is. The goal of this project was to make a well ventilated, splash-proof electric longboard (not necessarily water-proof) capable of speeds 25+ mph and distances of 30+ miles. I still need to test it, but I am confident that my current design meets those standards. The board I'm upgrading is The Fury from White Wave Longboards. (http://www.whitewavelongboards.com/product/the-fury/) The board is made of plastic and has thick support struts running down its length. My battery case was made to fit around those supports (after I carved the central supports down a little), so it may need to be modified in order to attach to other boards. I expect most of my future revisions on this Thing to be for modifications to the battery and esc cases. The battery case holds 6 2s batteries. The motor mount should work on most trucks. I have 180 mm trucks which have a base diameter of 20mm. Additionally, my trucks have 2 ribs on each side separated by 90 degrees and symmetric about the vertical axis. I have designed spaces into the truckAttachment and oppositeTruckAttachment files to accommodate this. If this won't work for your trucks, then I suggest playing with the parameters in the fusion 360 file. (Model User Workspace -> Modify --> Change Parameters) In order to provide cooling to components while sealing them in against water, I've implemented 1/4" pneumatic tubing which starts at the "air mouths" (I don't know what to call them but they remind me of a rocketship), weaves between the batteries and attaches to the outside of the motorHolder. The front "air mouths" take in onrushing air as the board is moving. The 3d file doesn't show the motor, power switch, esc, bec, receiver, trucks, deck, wires or pneumatic tubing. Only those parts which need to be printed are included.
