    Helmets Part 1,489,348 - To Wear Or Not To Wear

    ^ The mirror is a great idea Bowlofsalad. I have often looked behind me and felt it in those 2 seconds I might run into something. Keep us posted on your progress on that front.

    Helmets Part 1,489,348 - To Wear Or Not To Wear

    Dude - that looks brutal - glad you're still in one piece and thanks for sharing.I fell off my board going 5 mph and the road rash alone had me wearing a bandage for a month! I now only ride with helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and long sleeves. Also, I agree that anything above 15mph is not...

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    ^ hmmm.. Guess I must have something set up wrong. Need to reach out to Bruno... I have an Alien Power Twin ESC. It is set on 50% braking with one motor (25% when using 2 motors). It breaks fine on hills to slow me down, the problem is when I slow down to a certain speed (say 5km/h) the brakes...

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    Anyone able to get the board to come to a complete stop with a sensor less system? The pushing to start is fine, but having to foot brake to stop is not very practical for unseasoned longboarders

    Interesting battery case. I see what looks like an on/off switch and a charging port.

    Connecting the Zippy 8S 5.8A 25C to Accucel 8

    Thanks a lot. I have one 8s battery pack which I am trying to charge (in retrospect I probably should have gone with 2x 4S lipos or even LiFePO4s. oh well.. guess I am stuck with this monster for now. I will PM details.

    Connecting the Zippy 8S 5.8A 25C to Accucel 8

    Thanks. where I can get such an adapter? Everything I have seen so far has a 2s 4s 6s configuration. No 4s plus 4s. Also I have a number of other ports on my charger, can I combine plugs into the ports?

    Connecting the Zippy 8S 5.8A 25C to Accucel 8

    I bought an 8s battery (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__21385__ZIPPY_Compact_5800mAh_8S_25C_Lipo_Pack.html?strSearch=zippy%20compact%208s) from HK which I was told would connect to the Accucell 8 balance charger without the need for any extensions or adaptors. To my surprise, I found...

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    I think I may do the same. I have Zippy Compact 8s 5000mah 25C for the 2x2000W motor set up from Alien, but finding the equivalent in LifePo4 has not been easy. Any suggestion on a serial combination available from Hobby King to give me the same power or a little less.?

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    Kevlar lined jeans! Learning something new on this forum everyday. This is going to be must for me :). I am seriously thinking about figuring out a way to lock the throttle to 60% so I can't go past 15 mph during the early days of riding the board - I know I will be tempted to go fast and will...

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    anyone use a LiFePo4 battery on this type of set up instead of LiPo. I hear they will hold a charge better and are safer

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    I would certainly donate to the cause. Given the time and effort expended in continuous development and testing (not to mention answering tons of question) versus the meager margins from sale of the kits, I would say they deserve all the support they can get, especially in the early stages.

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    Thanks. Just wanted to experiment. I am building a 2WD with 2x2000w motors, but wanted to test the feel 1wd of the board on 2 different decks.

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    Just off topic here. If you go with a single back truck motor set up (using Alien Drive), do you have to use the same Holey trucks in the front or can you use other more readily available ones? Anything you recommend?

    bulky, but doesn't look too bad. Better than nothing I guess.

    Brushless dual 6kw ALIEN Power system - electric longboard

    Is there an ON/OFF switch with the kit as a standard or does it require additional hardware. If so, should we set it up?
