    How to charge my batteries?

    Yeah, true! It does bring me a lot closer :) I was looking at that option, I'm willing to wait the extra time. It'll greatly help to cut down on cost! I was loooking at this charger: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7028__Turnigy_Accucel_6_50W_6A_Balancer_Charger_w_accessories.html...

    How to charge my batteries?

    I did win a free kit :) But that now means I have to buy 2 motors, 2 esc's, and does having 2 motors drain the battery faster? It's definitely worth it though! I would greatly prefer dual drive but it's gonna take me a bit longer to build the board than I thought. I just need to find a job! I'm...

    How to charge my batteries?

    How would I be charging with 4.5 amps? The charger is a 10A charger. Anything less won't charge the batteries right? They will be drawing 5A each. Are there diagrams of this? I've never worked with batteries or chargers before in my life so I'm a bit confused.

    Just got a longboard! Cheap deck and knockoff abec 11 flywheels 83mm with caliber trucks. I was gonna have it drop through until I motorize it but the wheels are just too big. http://imgur.com/a/9F8mz/

    Implementing regenerative braking on electric longboard

    Regenerative braking is starting to seem like a good idea now. What ESC would I need for this? And do I just use that ESC and that's it or is there anything else to do for it to work? I'm imagining if the battery dies and I'm stranded, I can push while slightly braking to recharge the...

    FB name: Jared Dygert EDIT: https://www.facebook.com/jared.dygert The joy of riding a longboard (or skateboard) is amazing! But the constant cycle of having to push and push.... and push... takes away from that pure joy. But when you add motors to that puppy, it turns into a growling, roaring...

    Implementing regenerative braking on electric longboard

    I'm thinking of building an electric longboard and want to use regenerative braking but how would that be achieved? My knowledge of electronics is pretty low but I learn fast and can follow instructions pretty well.
