Hi xadmx I am sure Beetbocks will answer too but as I have exactly the same ESC I can say that it has good brakes. (Though admittedly not quite as smooth as a VESC) I really like this ESC, has great punch, does not get warm and is programmable. This ESC actually replaced a VESC on my single...

Hi Richard Nice looking board, but then I would not expect anything else from you. :D Nice to see a new board build from you, though your scooter builds are wicked too. I did similar with my Lush deck, as you say, the wood grain looks so nice it is a pity to cover it with black grip tape...

Well, lets just be happy that the OP is not going to try the possibility and decided on gears. We are pretty sure it won't work as described and NyOliver "doesn't have a reason to make it" to try and prove it works - so the argument is pretty moot. I could use my longboard wheels and press it...

Hi astilwell611 Yeah indeed, I did see those friction drives you mention. Actually was not a bad idea how they did it. A clip on/off idea could be a bit of fun, especially to spread the good vibes of Eboarding. Guys could use their boards, clip the thing on and try it out, all without any...

Ah well, dull day at work. I have here at my disposal here a whole box of dc motors, mostly brushed, and a 24V power source to drive them. Just as a bit of fun I got my skateboard from my car (standard pool skateboard so smaller and harder, though not very hard, 90a wheels). Longboards are at...

Hmm, where did I say I had no experience? Actually I have built a few boards so I would say I do have a bit of experience. You seem to have anger issues, take a Valium or two. There are friction drives, I know, and did state that. Just not quite as you are suggesting. If you could show a working...

My dear chap, I never said it would not work at all. What I said is that I, personally, would not recommend it. Get down off your horse please. And yes, I do understand gearing. Pretty well actually. Would I do what you suggest? Nope, not at all - but that is just me. If the OP wants to go that...

Hi My 2 Cents - take it or leave it, just my opinion. I would advise pretty strongly against those two Banggood options. A direct drive, with the shaft pressing on the wheel, is IMHO a bad idea. First off you would have to have some form of cohesion between shaft and wheel. A nice polished...

Hi I believe it is rated at 3200W max.

Hi I weigh about 200lbs and ride a 8S setup with a single 6374 170KV motor. Does all the hills in my area without a problem and is fast enough for me. (No speed demon at all though)

As this is a MTB, with huge wheels and off-road capability, the power draw on hard acceleration will be huge. If I were you I would most definitely go with a very minimum of the 120A FVT, better still the 150A version. As far as I know there is no program to limit the max power of the FVT...

I presume this is all coming from the questions about the new Enertion ESC. If so let us please not cover this on this forum as well, it is pretty pointless on the "other" forum as well. MrDude got it down in a single sentence.

From what I gather the Evolve is a pretty good board. Could you build a "better" one? Well for the price you could definitely build a more powerful and faster one - whether it is "better" depends on what your criteria is and how good your skills are. I hope you don't take this the wrong way but...

Hi Motor is a good choice. Deck is really personal preference as long as it is not too flexy it will be fine. Paris trucks are good, it may be easier to go with the Caliber shape though as a lot of mounts fit those better. Wheels, again personal choice but those ones listed would be fine. That...

Hi I just had a quick look and what I saw was that these cells had a maximum continuous discharge rate of 2C. Even at 6P I would not expect the pack to last very long at all. Like I said, this was just on a quick Google of the cells but in my opinion - I would not risk it.
