    PAS to rc esc/motor combo

    Hey guys, long time no see! So I was cleaning my workshop and found I have a heap of spare or leftover bits, enough to mostly make a lightweight, low power bb drive for my commuter, so why not start a christmas project? I was wanting to use the parts I have if possible, namely: FVT esc and...

    What is the best personal electric transportation?

    I hate to join the party pooper crowd, but feel this is the most valid point. I spent 6 months commuting exclusively by board in Dublin, and I am very glad I did, but there were certainly times I either didn't go, caught the bus, or ended up carrying the board. It was a 30-35 minute trip each...

    ECF board - Open differential - University Project

    Nice concept, I would love it if you could let me know the gears you used - I was looking at some for a project and wasn't sure what would work. What power and rpm are you running through them, how big are they and are they noisy? How does the weight of the motor/gearbox compare to the weight...

    HELP!! Fireworks Show altered fantom upgrade

    Sure it's already done, but if you change the voltage and motor, then it will change the speed the board goes. You might need more/less reduction than the stock brushed motor used. If you match the output speed though you will be good to go. If it's 17mm, then yeah it is most likely the...

    HELP!! Fireworks Show altered fantom upgrade

    neat, would be good to use as many parts from the stock as you can, keep it simple and cheap. Few things: Have you tried getting the pulley off a shaft with a pulley puller? These are basically 3 arms on a nut, screw a bolt through to push out the axle. If it can be removed, this would be the...

    Enertion boards customer service is shocking

    I would suggest raising any issues on electric-skateboard.builders as well, this is enertions own little marketing disguised as a forum, so is heavily monitored and should ruffle a few feathers and get things going. Enertion is known to do unethical things for profit, so it's not surprising...

    Loaded Vanguard Carbon Cast Ronin Single VESC 10S4P

    Don't want to get too off topic, but any reason why you couldn't use 4x 10s1p packs wired in parallel, and SLS print a housing for each pack, to be slightly spaced apart to allow for flex? That way all you would need is the design/CAD skills to get it done. There are plenty of online print shops...

    Looking for Durable Custom Wheel Pulleys?

    I've used shapeways for final prototype printing too, their SLS nylon is incredibly strong and accurate. If you don't have a printer to do it yourself, the strong and flexible is probably the way to go. I have a printer here so do most that way, but shapeways is probably the largest printing...

    Exclusive unboxing of the VESC-X by Enertion

    okp, Enertion is just a chinese clone company, funded by onloop. Classic $ vs. ethics scenario. It is customary however for a reviewer to clearly state upfront who the review is funded by, in this case Enertion. This stops people being falsely accused of sneaky back door advertising, fake...

    CC licence and VESC

    Hahaha, I can guess who the "Who" and "other" forum is, and it comes as no surprise. Given the price it is sure to be sold at, I just hope that the initial developer/s and everyone are getting at least 50% of the profit. But again, one can guess the answer here I feel. But yes, as far as my...

    Can I still push an e-skateboard?

    Running dual 6374mm hub motors wasn't a problem in the slightest with torque, and isn't too bad to kick, much faster than the 42mm motors that were geared. In fact, the 42mm motors were not worth pushing in my opinion. Two 50mm motors as hubs (~80kv) are even less resistance. Similar to a...

    Custom Truck Adapters for APS/TB Motor Mounts (here: Ronins)

    Neat little mod there, but I was wondering how you kept it all parallel? Surely if the tube is even 0.5* off, then the belts won't line up and track properly? Could be worth making this into a universal DIY mounting system for those odd shaped trucks.

    Incredibly stupid questions

    You are such a troll chalo. But don't you think it would be worse on a bike, given your higher centre of gravity? So when you tumble off (and you will, it's only got 2 wheels) you have much further to fall, so newton tells us it will take even more skin off! Also, I can kick a board faster than...

    "Vintage" cruiser board

    Really nice, but what I don't get is why you put so much time and money into such a crap platform to start with? Keep the shape but go a sweet little one like this: or my favourite:

    Newbie Longboard Build + Questions

    In addition to rmrf above, 2) SK3 is best, but all the sk range works. Basically every motor you buy for skateboards is an older or newer version of the sk motors. 3) I would go VESC or FVT esc. the FVT is the cheapest option for up to 6s that is well proven, and the VESC the last one you...

    E-Board Parts, are these good?

    An expensive option, but yes, that's a VESC. Going price is around the 100 mark I believe

    E-Board Parts, are these good?

    Yeah, if you are going more that 6s i would recommend a VESC as 6s esc's are cheap, but even 7s are basically double the price point. The FVT esc at 6s 120 amp is what a lot of people use as a cheap rc esc, otherwise I would say the next is the more expensive VESC. How does that pulley mount...

    10S custom skate ESC: testers wanted!

    I would agree, it seems the questioners have moved there hence all the threads and inability to answer correctly. But whatever, we all like some trash talk big talk sometimes. I'm seeing some VESC's pop up in recommended products in several of my sources, what's the deal with these ones? Are...

    Center printed pulley?

    By 'normal wheel' I shall assume this is one without a centre hub for mounting on? Something like flashbacks? I think your best bet would be to print a jig that slips into the wheel, then use a bench drill to get your holes. So what I'm imagining is a printed cylinder the size of the bearings...

    E-Longboard Questions

    1) you need an esc dedicated to each motor. This can be 2 separate esc's for flexibility, or dual esc unit. The vesc is top of the range and available from members here, or cheap ones that are proven are the 6s 150A FVT esc's, like those on diyelectricskateboard.com. A bunch of others work, but...

    Silly Wireing question

    yup, I use 10 or 12 between the battery/bms/relay/esc, 16-ish for battery charge, and 20 ish for relay switch, voltage test, light, etc. Work out the max amps it could possibly draw, and use corresponding wires.

    any tutorial or steps to make my own E-skate???

    Some of the original post may be a little outdated now (better electrics options eg vesc) but it is a great intro as the system still works exactly the same. https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=56375 There are also a bunch of threads of peoples personal builds. These can be...
