    electric long board setup

    Personally not a big fan of the single motor mechanical kit from diyelectricskateboards. I have two of them at home and they're not a tight fit unless you squeeze something between the truck and the motor mount. Which is not something that will give me a lot of peace of mind, considering that...

    A good electric longboard setup

    Lower voltage means higher amp draw so I wouldn't recommend going with a 5s setup. And as far as your setup goes, the 42mm motors will overheat, start smoking and ultimately be unuseable. They're not gonna do it if you ride on a flat surface, but as soon as you ride up at a slight incline or...

    A good electric longboard setup

    Sure, no problem. I sure as hell spent sums of money going into the four digits range when I first started, simply because I thought I knew it all and I could make it work. Thought I'd save you a buck or two by just telling you what makes sense and what doesn't. I remembered one more thing...

    A good electric longboard setup

    Some input: Motors: Not a good choice at all. Also not enough Information on size and on how you wanna mount them. You should go for at least 50mm (diameter) motors, although 63mm are probably better. More power. Length will be an issue if you wanna mount them both on the same truck...

    Dual motor, Dual VESC, One 10s3p battery pack? Also wiring.

    Sup guys. Got a question. Currently building a new dual rear drive board with dual VESCs. I managed to finish my battery pack and 3D printed a case to mount it onto the deck. Still a few things to do, but I was thinking whether I'm on the right track here: I have a 10s3p battery pack...

    Enertion - One Big Con?

    Yup, checks out with my experience with that shitty company as well. I usually order my stuff from diyelectricskateboards and I've been relatively happy with everything I got from them, except for the relatively expensive shipping fee to europe that is 40 bucks and their v4 motor mounts which...

    Help building e-longboard/single drive

    here's my take on it: - motor okay although personally I'd go with an outrunner and a motor mount. cost will probably be similar, but if something breaks you can exchange it quicker, you have more power on hand and you can customize gearing. being able to tweak torque and top speed depending...

    Looking for wide hangers for Caliber II dual rear 6374s

    Looking for the same thing, actually. Got myself two of these Turnigy 6374 192KV bad boys and I was planning on using them in a dual diagonal setup. The problem is, that I underestimated how little space I'd have under the threesix downhill deck I'm gonna use, so there's no way to "hide"...

    Teenagers e-skateboard for Christmas - On a budget

    Just a quick thing I'd like to point out - because I made the same mistake when I built my first e-board. The ESC that you linked is an airplane ESC.They are cheaper and support higher max amps, but they're really not designed for e-boards. Especially braking and cruising in neutral will be...

    Evolve Carbon AT with 50km+ range

    Oh I was aware that there are 6s chargers as well. It just sucks that there are none on the website that whitepony posted, since those guys aren't too far away from where I live and I wouldn't have to wait a month for it to arrive (as is often the case with alibaba).

    DIY Electric Longboard Build (Plan!) - Can you confirm it?

    Batteries are okay, so is the Transmitter. For the motor, I'd go for something with a lower KV rating. Yours is 430KV which technically is possible, but somewhere in the range between 150kv-300kv would probably be better for you. More torque. Your ESC won't be enough though, since it's rated...

    Evolve Carbon AT with 50km+ range

    Awww yiss. Whitepony delivers! You, sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Too bad they don't have a 6s charger. I'll have to get the 3s one and just charge 2x3p3s separately. Assuming the 7s/24V one will overcharge the batteries. So basically charging like this, right?

    Evolve Carbon AT with 50km+ range

    Curious about that too. I have a bunch of HE2 cells at home and I'm looking to replace my old lipos on one of my e-penny boards. No idea how to go about it. I've read whitepony's opinion about BMS and about them most likely not even being necessary. How would I even go about the wiring for...

    First Time Builder needs help with Gt2B

    I actually have the exact same ESC at home because I am currently in the process of motorizing my pennyboard (because that one passes as hand luggage on airplanes) and I thought I'd go for something cheap and small. I have the same problem that you're having and I'm using the Hobbyking GT2B...

    Battery packs and cell choices

    My Eboard is currently running on two big fat 8000mAh 5S LiPo packs, which is a bit annoying. Which is why I'm looking for a replacement for them. I've considered going with 18650 batteries like the LG HE2, but I don't wanna invest in a spot soldering machine that I'm just going to use once. On...

    2.4Ghz Mini Remote

    I think Yuneec's Remote Control from their E-Board looks like it could be fun to use. I've been thinking about building one of my own as an alternative to all the GT3B's and all the nunchuks out there. The whole concept of using a slider to control the speed sounds more convenient and more...

    Dual diagonal build with dual VESC's and 60A current draw

    So I'm currently working on a new e-board build to transform a Loaded Vanguard into a dual diagonal monster. I'm working with two 63mm Turnigy G160 rated at 2220W each. Two Zippy 5S 8000mAh Lipos that I'm gonna connect in series to get a 10s setup (they're fairly thick, might have to take...

    Loaded Vanguard Carbon Cast Ronin Single VESC 10S4P

    That looks like a fun build. Good Job, I'm impressed! I've been considering getting a vanguard myself. That thing must be awesome to ride at medium speeds. I've got a question though (for you or anyone already owning a Vanguard). How wide is the middle section of the Vanguard exactly? I got a...
