Looks like a nice build! :)
How is the battery held in place?
Any problems with the clearance between battery and front tyre?
Asking because I'm considering a similar build myself.
Thanks

Battery is held in with the two bosses/M5 bolts used for the cable guides and I have installed three extra steel M5 rivnuts including drilling through the metal plate twice on the mount. For more enthusiastic offroad excursions, I use a few of these to make sure the battery is extra secure.

Front tyre clears the pack by 1cm at full compression.

Had it's maiden offroad ride at Gisburn today, it performed flawlessly.

Looks sweet amigafan ! Very clean

Is that a bling ring ? Can’t quite see but seems to have something else written down the side ?

Also 02 or 01 ? And what lcd is that please

And finally, nice to see you back here [emoji106]

I'm also considering a build like this on a voodoo zobop. There isn't enough room in the triangle for a decent battery (just using a pair of 5s lipos for testing). Fitting a battery under the downtube is a good idea if I can find a battery case small enough for a 10s 6p battery.

60 cells + bms doesn't make for a small case.

I've done a rough drawing and I could probably squeeze 70 cells in depending on BMS size but it will have to be custom built job.
