I MADE AN ALL TERRAIN SKATEBOARD

I've built a working all terrain skateboard! This time I go to test it in real life conditions and it is awesome! Both front and back trucks are mostly 3D printed but this time I custom machined an aluminium plate to mount the motors so heat is dissipated better. I made a new board that is now the right width and a bit longer than last time and made two new chassis profiles and both worked perfectly as there are no collisions between the chassis/board and the two trucks even when going through rough terrain.
Each truck has is own motor/VESC/battery and there's a wire that brings the RC receiver signal from the front truck to the rear truck so both trucks move at the same time. I have no idea how fast it is, not a lot but in the other hand I felt no loss of speed at any climb rate, I know it does not show on camera but some of those hills were pretty steep. I feel like it would have made no difference if four people were standing on it when going uphill. I was running the motor with 24V but it can go up to 48V and the ESC was running on BLDC mode with all sensors and limited to 60A but it can go 100A no problem so It could be a good idea to go for less reduction. I also have the speed limited in the VESC configuration so it does not explode, let's not forget that all of it is 3D printed PLA and if pushed hard it will disintegrate.
This project is not over, I want to make it faster and probably I want to ditch the 3D printed plastic for something more reliable in the long run as this is becoming more and more a sport I want to practice. All terrain skateboarding to the olympics!!
