    Single HUB motor, VESC Loaded Dervish Build

    Nice...I was considering buying just the battery to put on my board but I't priced out at $299 without the charger ($80). For that price you are better off buying SPACE or even Dexters new 12s battery. What kind of range are you getting? Oh...and post some more pics! give the people what they...

    Low profile ABS enclosure. NEW SHAPE!

    That is exactly what I ended up doing...I have one set of "anchored" screws at the end and all the other holes are slotted to allow some flex play. It's working out great :)

    Here come the clones..

    I'll say this...I've spend nearly $700 building my board. Which is around the cost of that E-go. I know every part of this board in and out and can fix whatever goes wrong on it. I didn't have the tools to make a board either, but there are plenty of awesome kits that include everything you...

    18650 10S4P Battery Design

    I gotta ask brotha...what's the going rate on a 10s custom battery pack? I've also considered making my own vs. S.P.A.C.E Cell vs customs packs...so many options! I need more juice!!!

    Stary Wanna-Be Using Pediglides Single Hub Motor

    10 mile range from 5000mah, that's nearly double what I'm getting. How is this possible! Could my belt drive system be causing that much drag? or is your ride completely flat? haha....i'd die for 10+ mile range

    6s Penny board for fun

    I have been dying to put my setup on a 22" Pennyboard (replica) and finally pulled the trigger and made it happen. Don't mind the zip-ties ;) The motor would only fit facing the rear because of clearance issues. I thought this would be an awesome idea, to have a more compact board to...

    4s E-board for a kid?

    I searched and found Beto and he has all his boards linked under his bio...he's got some great stuff. I'm really impressed by mounting the balance charger under the board, those 4s systems are small! Should work perfect for a kid, no hassle of dealing with the headache of balancing multiple...

    4s E-board for a kid?

    This is perfect, just want to make sure running 4s was a viable option before I began preparations :) That T-handle is an awesome idea too... Thanks for the posts. Just curious what kind of esc's you guys are using? I figured 6s and just running them on 4s, but wanted to check if there's a...

    4s E-board for a kid?

    Since building my longboard I've gotten a ton of questions from friends wanting me to build them one! A coworker wants me to make 3 Longboards for her children for Xmas, the heaviest kid weighs around 90lbs. I was wondering if running a 4s setup would be a way to save her some money? Or if...

    New build by a newbie!

    Caden, Thanks for the offer brotha! I decided to hook up the ESC one last time before calling Castle support and it just happened to turn on. In the future I'll look towards getting the MM2. I may have overheated my MMP a few days ago. Who knows. But I am now up and running...and happy. I...

    New build by a newbie!

    Soooo.....I took a trip to the local hobby store and they determined that I blew THE ESC! They talked me into getting the mamba max pro to go with the brand new Turnigy SK3 that I bought....again Everything was working fine until I decided to hook the new ESC to the old motor just to check if...

    Upstate SC get-together

    Just finished my first electric skateboard, looking to meetup with some other e-thusiast around the upstate of south carolina. Go for a ride, grab a few drinks, etc.

    New build by a newbie!

    Exactly, I'm one of those unlucky people too! I figured I'll take my setup to the local hobby shop and get them to help me. I haven't found a local ES skateboarder around here yet. I'll put out some feelers and see if anyone gets back to me I did email RCJuice.com (Where I bought the FVT 120a...

    New build by a newbie!

    Appreciate the assistance but I'm opposite of you in South Caroloina. Can I crack open my ESC and see if it's blown? would it be apparent?

    New build by a newbie!

    So I finally got my new motor in from Hobbyking.. I'm still waiting on word for the warranty return so I just paid for this one out of pocket. But now I'm not getting a reaction from the ESC is it possible to blow both the ESC and the motor at the same time?

    New build by a newbie!

    With time! I'd like to enjoy this board for a while before sinking anymore money into it. Where I live there aren't many large hills, I just made a mistake when I was out of town trying to go up a mountain. I have a whopping 2 miles under my belt :( I just wanna ensure I am starting off with a...

    New build by a newbie!

    Haven't heard back from HK yet, but I was thinking about the board and realized that I have no clue about electricity, I'm not sure if I overloaded the motor or the opposite, I don't know about watts/volts/ohms. I pretty much did this build from the instructionals on here. I just want to check...

    New build by a newbie!

    I requested a warranty claim through HK. Figured that it couldn't hurt. I literally had about 45 minutes of run time on the motor before it blew. Now it's time to cross my fingers :)

    New build by a newbie!

    OK, I think I may have already burnt up a motor, less than a day after having it built :( I came to visit some friends in the mountains today and wanted to test out the hill climbing ability of my board. I used a hefty amount of braking down the huge driveway then turned around and gunned it...

    New build by a newbie!

    So far so good, I found another post on ES dealing with the FVT 120a ESC and found some optimal settings. It's running good with no issues. Happy with the $55 I spent on it! And I'll get getting another battery soon. I'm really wanting to test the range this week with what I have. From reading...

    New build by a newbie!

    Build post continued! I ended up trading out the 180mm Paris V2 trucks with a set of Caliber type trucks from DIY Electric Skateboard. We found out that 180mm was too short of a wheelbase to work with his V1 Motor Mounts. I gotta say I really like the look of these blue trucks on the board...

    New build by a newbie!

    Yeah sure, here it is. Again, I am just trying to build my first board and get on the road, So I may end up fabricating something better in the future. I searched long and hard to find a box with the dimensions I needed (something large enough to fit my single 6s Turnigy battery, but thin enough...

    New build by a newbie!

    I will not be getting the Mamba XL 2, my local hobby shop sold the last one this week. I went with the FVT 12a ESC from RCjuice.com. Not nearly as good, but i've been itching to get on the road! I figured that i'll eventually grab an VESC in a few months, why spend double the price for an ESC...
