I think this is what my research seems to be coming down to, thank you very much.

I think this is part of my confusion. Wouldn't most 4kw ebike hubs be capable of much more than my little 4kw esk8 motor? I understand inflating specs for the sake of marketing but ebike motors seem to be under rated right?

I'm pretty confident the VESC project was designed for skateboards. Are you referring to VESC controllers specifically as "RC" controllers? Or is this more specifically about RC speed controllers like the castle creations mamba XLX or hobbyking max4? I'm not familiar with any RC plane equipment...

Yes, the plan was 3 in series. I wasn't aware 18S was uncommon for ebikes, good to know. I have experience with VESC based ESCS which all allow configuration voltage cutoffs, I'd like to be able to use one if at all feasible. Any ebike specific difficulties with VESC hardware/software that I...

Admittedly we generally prefer to use Li-ion in electric skateboarding so 3 out of the 4 packs I have experience using are Li-ion (no personal experience building, rather leave that to experts) I have 2 batteries that came from pre built boards, 1 lipo battery (2 6s Turnigy batteries in series)...

About batteries, I have a basic understanding of how Li-ion and Lipo packs function, and the relationship between things like current, voltage, and capacity. 1: it seems BMS's in the ebike world are often wired for charge and discharge. I'm not familiar with how a discharge BMS functions and...

Hey you're right, why not. So I come from an electric skateboarding background and have a bit of experience with building VESC based boards. I'm trying to get a frame of reference for comparison to speeds and power that I've felt on my boards, I'd like more power than my current daily electric...

This was my backup plan, I had just wondered if there was a general questions thread that I could use for things that don't exactly feel like they belong in a build thread or need their own dedicated thread. Are you able to move it to the dumpster instead so I can start over?

Is there a place for noobs to ask more seasoned builders for advice on individual questions that don't require a dedicated thread? I realize this being a dedicated thread itself is likely unnecessary, please forgive me while I familiarize myself with this forum.
