Hi Guys,
I'm very new to the forum and have been doing a lot of research. I've just picked up an old Comp16 board and have decided to whack two motors on the back. I'm really keen on snowboarding and since it's warming up over here in Europe I figure this could be the next best thing.
I've got the following parts on order and was wondering if anyone had any comments on my selections.
Motor:
2 x http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18182__Turnigy_Aerodrive_SK3_6374_168kv_Brushless_Outrunner_Motor.html
Motor mount:
Galp from the forums has been kind enough to assist with machining my mount. The rough design is as follows:
This will mount directly to the brake mounting threaded hole on the truck.
Pulleys/Sprockets (1:6 ratio):
Wheel pulley - http://www.beltingonline.com/72-tooth-htd5-pulley-72-5m-7770
Motor sprocket - http://www.beltingonline.com/12-tooth-htd5-pulley-12-5m-09f-7709
ESC:
I have been recommended this one - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20696__Hobbyking_YEP_120A_HV_4_14S_Brushless_Speed_Controller_OPTO_.html
Batteries:
I'd like some help on this one. I'd like to go for a low profile battery so was thinking of 2 x 4s batteries. Would I be better off going for an 8s single batter or would it make no difference. Would love some advise on this aspect if possible.
Controller:
Still undecided on this one. I would like something compact that can fit in my back pocket. Does anybody have any recommendations? I was considering the Nunchuck if there isn't too much work involved in getting it going.
I will be using this thread as my build page, I will keep this updated as soon as the goodies come in the post!
Thanks for all your help.
