made a video of my tiny skateboards in actions

It's really only a couple of shots. I bought a camera pole to try and get some better ones this weekend.

That's awesome man

Don't your massive balls get in the way when riding these tiny boards though?

 

[beto_pty]

wow that is tiny...
cool setup!

 

[rs4race]

How fast is that? Really nice work, and tearing it up too!

 

[snellemin]

That is cool man. How fast does that little thing go?

 

[rs4race]

Also. I'm curious what kinda setup you use to record.

 

[torqueboards]

Ballsy... such a small board lol.

voodoojar,

That is sum rely nice work. Pretty nice to see DIY 3D printed plastic parts. That is starting to make DIY a real game changer.

 

[voodoojar]

The pink board maxed out at around 28mph it's my personal board the blue one 20mph. I'm recording with a gopro.

 

[torqueboards]

Nice... What's your gearing setup and how's the start on stop?

 

[scoot-e]

Great vid with lots of angles
nice work and looking forward to more info and progress updates
Way to go

im running a 14 36 pulleys. The ESC I have has a few different throttle settings I find the exponential curve keeps the board under control. the brakes work great to shed speed or stop at under 10mph but the small single motor on 1 wheel has a rough time doing emergency braking at 20mph.

I wanted to do some more filming after work but I rode it to work to try and kill the battery and my feet are killing me. I dont know how people ride a skateboard 10+ miles.

What kind of motors are you using 5055/5065? What KV? 2.5 gearing ratio. More top speed and less torque? How's it climbing hills?

 

[voodoojar]

they're 5065 250kv It will get you up a fairly steep hill, you wont fly up it but probably 10 mph up a hill I have a hard time riding a bike up.

Hill across from my house.

lol... I'll tell you how... 1/4" soft risers, low duro (75a) wheels with small cores and loads of urethane depth.

That's my biggest gripe with all of the kits... lack of choice for compatible wheels. I went with a Lagrange L1 truck mostly because I can use any wheel I want... so I have 76a Tunnel Funnel STR's on my board and it is SMOOTH. You would have to go with 90mm Flywheels in 75a to get the same urethane depth and cushiness using other kits.

Great videos btw.
