Hi ES peeps,

Been lurking on here for a while trying to plan building my own board for travelling campus and the rest of Manhattan. Here is what I've been looking at recently, trying to get the best I can for a minimal price. Currently 5'8" and about 210 lb.

Deck/Truck + Wheels:

Other Planet Mars Deck

DT1 Drop-Through 39x10 Deck

http://www.ebay.com/itm/42-in-RAW-FLUSH-MOUNT-FREESTYLE-LONGBOARD-SKATEBOARD-Deck-/131644828949?hash=item1ea6a4ad15:g:jEAAAOSw5VFWM9OS

Beercan Boards Hoke DT Deck

ANTI Longboards Bear Deck 39"

[If I end up choosing one of these five, I'll also purchase a set of Paris trucks + flywheels]

Beercan Boards Chrome 37" Kegger Lite S Complete
*Found this on clearance. For $135, I could get a complete board which is pretty good. My only worry is that 76mm wheels may not work for my setup.

Motor:

Aerodrive SK3 63mm 213kv

Battery:

2 x 3S Turnigy 5000mAh

Motor Mount: probably gonna cut my own or buy from Torque.

ESC:

HK X-Car Beast 120A
*VESC seems out of my price range

Remote:

HK GT2B

Critiques and comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much!

My beercan build- https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=68018

My Orangutang hub drives fit perfectly into the 'smooth' Beercan wheel-

I also have Beercan Specific ABS battery and ESC covers..:)

I hope this helps..:)

Definitely something I wanna use in the future, I didn't even know beercan specific boxes were a thing. Unfortunately with shipping and all that, price for esc + battery box is a bit out of my budget. But I should be able to make something similar with those blueprints on their page. Thank you so much! :]
