    kegel abs pulley from ebay

    I used a dremel to bore out a keyway, well actually keyholes on my 6mm shaft. I used a tungsten carbide bit which is more like an endmill than a drilling bit, so the cutting face is on the side. If you go this route just mark your holes on the shaft, then come at the shaft perpendicularly...

    New 10s Electric Skateboard *Project Inertia*

    The brakes weren't working at zero, which was why I played with it a bit. I wonder if that was a result of where the motor was when I initially set it up. It's about .5 to the right of zero currently and working great!

    New 10s Electric Skateboard *Project Inertia*

    I took the board out for a ride this morning after dropping the kid off at school. I did what Torque suggested and turned up my brake 80% and took off. After about 50 meters or so I tested the brakes....nothing....I flipped over the board plugged in my ESC progarmmer and double checked...

    10S custom skate ESC: testers wanted!

    Awesome work vedder! It's exciting to see your VESC being implemented into custom AND commercial eboards! I can't wait to hear how the VESC has changed peoples daily commute, recreational rides, and overall performance of their boards. Hopefully people continue to contribute their VESC...

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    Oh man!!! You have the worst luck with electrical issues, but at least you are keeping your spirits high. I wish I had a solution to your sparking problem, but my advice will probably get you electrocuted lol It looks like Bruno did a nice job with your battery pack, lets hope the new On/Off...

    kegel abs pulley from ebay

    Hey Hummina, If that comes with 2 pulleys and the belt then that's a good deal. I can't remember the exact thread but I believe the person who designed these was working on them through Endless Sphere with a couple of other people, hopefully they will chime in later. If I remember correctly...

    New 10s Electric Skateboard *Project Inertia*

    I will before my ride today. It's not that the braking isn't enough to slow me or stop me. When it kicks in, I brake to a stop just fine. The problem is that 80% of the time I don't brake at all. It's been like this since day one so i thought it was normal, and I have been too busy tweaking...

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    Thanks for cracking open your controller Erwin! Seeing that slide pot with the dual springs and rail system made me slap my forehead. My thoughts were a rail inline but above the slide pot, making it a taller device, but I like the flatter form of the E-Go pot better

    New 10s Electric Skateboard *Project Inertia*

    Thanks Torque great explanation. My brakes don't like to work at any speed. A few ironic times they didn't even kick in until I had nearly rolled to a stop. other times, when purely accelerating due to gravity downhill and the brakes won't work, i'll rev the throttle to get the rpm's up to...

    New 10s Electric Skateboard *Project Inertia*

    Hey guys, it's been a NY minute since I've posted something new here. Just a few updates: I wanted to have a video to bring to the table but unfortunately I took a small fall. Nothing too serious damage wise, just a sprained wrist and tweaked lower back. I found that one of my motor wires...

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    Yo okp! I have that same dual turnigy 10s 5ah battery setup haha!! Is that an alien enclosure that they are in? or your custom HDD box? It looks almost perfect, and I am constantly in the search for the best enclosure for my batteries. Also, I agree with the EC5 connectors. My local RC store...

    Kryptonics Board hub motor

    When torque mentioned the cordless drill pack, he was referring to you using the drills battery pack to power it. If you are interested in building an e-board still, I would recommend reading the pinned "How to build an electric skateboard" thread here...

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    @Badwolf you silly raggedy man, you're killing it! That controller came out looking very smooth! Simple and efficient, the signs of a solid design. I think you've "raised the bar" as far as FlySky mods go. I'm going to make something in this direction (as it just makes sense) but with as...

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    I like everything that I'm seeing from the previous two posts. Keep at it boys! I need a new micrometer to continue CAD work myself. Also, for those who want a free CAD software for hobbyist use, students, and small businesses that make less than 100k a year, I just came across Autodesk...

    Kryptonics Board hub motor

    The greatest achievement of Jacob's hub motors over other similar designs is the ability to easily attach them onto any truck or pre-existing board (if there's enough clearance under the deck) Granted you can't just slap em on and go, you'll obviously still need an ESC, Tx/Rx, batteries...

    Custom Battery Packs? INTERESTED?

    Can't wait to see what those look like. It'd be nice to just plug the board into the wall rather than charge lipo packs :/ Still no video? For shame!!

    Kryptonics Board hub motor

    I believe that I use the same $70 motor in my belt driven build as these $200 hub motors and get similar if not better performance. Until the technology gets better, I really don't see any benefit to hub motors. Without any performance benefit over mounted motors, the only benefit to going hub...

    Fast electric longboard – Dual hub motor

    Haha yeah that monolith is pretty cool. I was more or less referring to your average DIYer, not an engineering company/collaboration lol They have an interesting build, but i'd rather buy Stielz's board :twisted: based on his claims

    Kryptonics Board hub motor

    Brushless outrunner motors work differently from brushed motors that you'll find in cordless drills. Both have their advantages/disadvantages Most people building these eboards use the brushless outrunner motors. When powered a shaft and the outer can of the motor rotate together. This...

    Kryptonics Board hub motor

    I agree with what torque said about the wheels. It would be hard to get a strong enough motor inside of such small wheels without risking the structural integrity of the wheel itself. If this is a project that you can build with stuff around the house, perfect. If this is something that you...

    Fast electric longboard – Dual hub motor

    Awesome build, thanks for sharing! It looks like you've inspired other to follow suit with hub motors. It's good to see a successful, powerfull build with the hub motor tech. -I don't think one wheel is a good choice for hub motors. You've already blown a couple ESC's it sounds like, and...

    Kryptonics Board hub motor

    It looks like you want to recreate Stielz hub motor. And why wouldn't you? That thing is a beast!!! A couple key factors on how he was so successful: - 2 hub motors is MUCH better than one. Hub motors systems suffer from not being able to adjust torque and speed due to no gears/gear ratios...

    Custom Battery Packs? INTERESTED?

    After catching up on all the back reading on this thread....the idea of using 18650's or 26650's entices me. The perks to these is that they are nice to "Set and forget", but the work lies in setting them up in the first place. These would be better to pre-fab and sell as a unit, just like...
