Atomic speeeeeeeeeeeed!
hey guys so our friend Riley is
volunteering here at the shop helping
out with projects for a few months now
anyway he's been dying to build an
electric longboard and we happen to have
some extra parts left over from
hobbyking so we decided to build a super
overpowered longboard this thing is
seven kilowatts! A regular electric
longboard is around 500 watts that's 14
times the power let's see how it works
Riley is going to give us a layman's
term explanation of the subsystems used
to make it work we've got these big
yellow bricks we've got all sorts of
power and things which go through these
wonderful little wires up to the top of
there to the magic control box which is
controlled by this other magic doohickey
trigger thing from that doohickey
trigger thing it tells this magic
control box to send angry Pixies through
these wires into this pop-can size motor
which makes this wheel spin and then you
go fast! Uhh... thanks for that Riley now let's
let's get that go test that!
so the mic is running right? it's recording
everything okay cool cool
I bet you the audio's going to be garbage because I'm
in a helmet here we go
atomic speeeeeeeeed
I hope I don't end up like you...
that's because you have to drive
yourself home somehow yeah that's true
hey bogdan our laser bazooka is a world
war 2 weapon, i'm like... do you mean WW3?
OOOOH!
I'm fine my wrist hurts though...
why do we keep doing longboards projects i...
That was a pretty awesome project and this
thing is way too powerful we hit about
45 at only about two-thirds throttle I
I think if we had full throttle we could
probably be doing 60-70 but honestly you
know I'm not good at long boarding and I
guess Riley isn't the greatest either I
feel like we should stop doing these
kinds of projects and if you guys want
