I wouldn't call me terribly experience but... For my first build, I used that very motor in a 6S build, with a gearing ratio of 14/40 Dont get me wrong, it works plenty well; boosting me up to 19mph with topped off batteries, and an average speed of around 16mph. Quite enough for cruising.\...

Thanks for posting this question Vanarian. I have been wondering about this exact topic myself. :D Might it also improve a tad bit of motor efficiency, as they (hopefully) would not be getting as hot? Also I had another question, quite similar to this one. Would dual 500 KV motors give around...

I have no idea if this will help any, but might as well! :D My longboard= 6S, 5000mAh, gets exactly 5.01 miles full speed around the block continuously @ 26kph (Just over 16mph) Motor is warm. ESC is cool, despite me blocking up that annoying whirring cooling fan. And a rather emberassing...

What the title says! What's the best (or worst) reaction anyone has had to you riding by, without touching the ground? I have had a couple of run-ins with people wanting to know what exactly the box thing on the bottom of my board is. Most of their reactions are along the lines of "Wow! Its...

First few parts came in today from Ebay! :D 97mm Blank Longboard Wheels and Caliber II 50 Trucks :D Two power supplies for the charging system (ill only be using one) Some Car under-body LED lights. I assume they will work just as good on a longboard :wink: Hobbyking and Alien...

First off, really cheap build done by me. I wasn't using the same parts as you, but most of the idea still applies. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Electric-Longboard/ Looks like your supplies are good. Either motor will work. Though the 240kv one will go ever-so-slightly faster then the...

Actually its a bit more confusing then annoying. It sounds confusing at first though. Here is what torque is referring too (if I may) If you look at a normal motor shaft from the front (edge-on) You will not that it is round. This is normal. However, when we stick a pulley on the motor shaft...

Thank you Torqueboards for your quick reply! :D I guess I did not show how I was wiring anything up. Sorry, will edit that in. The (four) Multistart 10000mAh, 10C, from my understanding, gives 100C each right? (10Amphours x 10C = 100A) Two batteries will be wired in series for EACH...

Hello all! CoolRextreme here. Ill start by introducing myself to yall! I have been a stalker of the E-board build forums here for about four months, and built my first Electric Longboard about six months ago! I live a town or two above Sacramento (California, USA) Quite flat, but the town is...
